On Iraq, get specific on a real exit strategy – not just redeployment of combat troops, but removal of private security like the Blackwater mercenaries from Iraq, and the 30,000 to 85,000 non-combat troops that your advisors say you plan to leave in Iraq after redeploying combat troops to Kuwait and Afghanistan. Make it clear you oppose Bush’s effort to get Iraq to agree to 50 long-term military bases, protection of U.S. troops, mercenaries and corporations from Iraqi prosecution; tell Americans that if Bush negotiates such an agreement you will undo it and negotiate a complete U.S. exit from Iraq.

 

Rather than spending $10 billion annually on an expanded military – when the U.S. already spends as much as the rest of the world combined – tell Americans that green collar jobs are more vital than more camouflage jobs.  We need to invest in rebuilding the U.S. infrastructure, creating a new energy economy – an economy for the 21st Century.

 

These issues are all supported by a majority of Americans.  Nader is right: Obama needs to challenge the sacred cows in Washington – the white power structure, as Nader says. That is the change that American voters are hoping for – a Washington, DC that responds to the necessities of the American people rather than those funding corporate-government candidates.  Listen to Nader and a landslide is Obama’s; don’t listen and join Dukakis, Gore and Kerry in losing to weak Republican candidates who should have been easily defeated.
