Yes yes yes ... do what the Republicans wouldn't do ... raise the minimum wage. And while you're at it ignore all the born-again economic theologians like Republican Congressman Kingston. Kingston's devotion to the so-called "conservative Republican" capitalism that has never taken human nature into account, is stereotypically representative of the whole conservative proposition that less government leads to spontaneous altruism.
So raise the minimum wage and if Kingston says $8 or $9 or $10 then go for that too.
Leglislate what the republican thugs would not legislate in the best interest of the country.
Oh, by the wawy. Put back habeas corpus NOW!
Oh, by the way ... while you're at it, undo the legislated disasters that betrayed the economic backbone of the country - working class Americans. Reverse the bankruptcy law, take the teeth away from the sharks who were unleashed by the that piece of corporate give-away.
Stop the daily junk-mail solitications of bankruptcy entrapment disguised as credit card offers.
And the highest moral imperative I can think of for this country in the here and now:
If you have not the courage to cut off funding for global terrorism disguised as Bush War, then cut off funding for global gulag and human rights violations masquerading as internment of terrorist. If you can't close Guantanamo and shut down all this sort of thing we do not WANT Americans doing in our name and on our behalf, then cut off funding for it.
