I like many other progressive minded Americans are yearning for the quintessential presidential candidate to emerge for the 2008 presidential election. We made not know who it is, but there are something we know about the candidate we want.
So, what do we know?
We know we want a candidate that has integrity. We are tired of being lied to and deceived.
We know we want a candidate that will improve the economy and expand opportunity. Baby boomers are raising a generation which is less prosperous, less educated and less prepared to take care of their parents.
We need jobs and we want them now. We need the kind of jobs that will allow us to pay our rent, buy groceries and support our children. Not just minimum wage service jobs,but jobs that allow us to maintain a growing middle class.
We know we want someone that will united the country, We are tired of fighting with our neighbor over extreme values that don't allow us to improve public education or pay for our medication.
We know we want out of Iraq and for our soldiers to return home. We are tired of being lied to by our government and we are tired of being treated like of playing defense to terrorist but offense to our own citizens through ongoing discriminatory profiling and arbitrary airport security.
We need a change, we need a new president. Let's get ready to make this happen in 2008. Let's not make the same mistake we made in 2000 and 2004.
