Pie and Platform

Today, in Kendallia we had pie while we worked on our "planks" for the Obama platform. After 3 hours of discussion, we had our platform worked out and ready to submit to the Obama campaign. The discussion was lively, and sometimes contentious, but it was a great time. Thanks to Judy McM for hosting.

Here are 4 (out of 16) of our "planks."

1. Science should not be politicized.

2. Every American shall have access to the same high quality health care as needed and de-linked from employment.

3. We will get out of Iraq as quickly as possible while minimizing the danger to remaining American and coalition forces and supporting Iraqi forces.

4. We endorse the decision of U.S. Supreme Court in District of Columbia v. Heller that found that the Second Amendment guaranteed an individual right to keep and bear arms for the purpose of self-defense.

5. We call for the repeal or substantial amendment of the FISA act, restoring fundamental rights and holding all parties who violate these rights accountable.
