The Democrat Party has not yet addressed what to do about the Iraq war, or immigration or the ethical problems in Washington. I think they are going to have to if they hope seriously to attract and keep the people.

However, Marianne Means, New York Times Service 5/21/06, says "The Democrats promise to raise the minimum wage, prevent the privatization of Social Security, expand federal support for stem cell research, negotiate lower prices for the Medicare prescription drug program., eliminate billions in subsidies for the oil and gas companies and promise the development of alternative fuels."

That's a start.
