Message To The Democratic Party
Gay and Lesbian Americans Demand Equality
I am a Gay Liberal American. I believe in liberal principals and universal human rights. I will not support a political party that does not support these principals.
In 2008 on a message of change the Democratic Party was given control of the White House as well as a filibuster proof majority of 60 in the United States Senate and a huge majority in the House of Representatives. How well did the Democratic Party support the liberal agenda of change that got them elected?
No meaningful legislation on the environment or alternative energies but we did get more “safe” offshore drilling thank you President Obama.
No meaningful legislation on universal health care but we did get a bill mandating that all Americans purchase overpriced heath insurance thank you lobbiest and the congress members they bought.
No meaningful legislation on financial reform but we did get a bill that allows banks to raise our credit card rates and continue the risky investments that killed the American economy thank you Senator Dodd and Representative Franks.
No meaningful legislation on jobs creation but we did get a multi-trillion dollar bailout for Wall Street insiders thank you multinational corporation whose record profits were supported with our tax dollars.
In addition
The United States is still expanding its citizen surveillance systems
The United States is still in two wars and working on a third
The United States is still shedding jobs with true unemployment near 25%
The United States is still under expanding control of multinational corporations
I honestly see no difference between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. Their policies are identical and only benefit the multinational corporate masters buying their votes.
Oh yea…then there is the whole Gay thing
The Obama Administration has no intention of repealing Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. The policy was ruled unconstitutional by the courts and the Obama Administration actually reinstated it! There was no action on ENDA even though it was promised by Uncle Tom Franks and DOMA is still the law of the land…again ruled unconstitutional but appealed by the Obama Administration.
Maybe next time the Democrats are in power they will remember to actually pass a few pieces of liberal legislation before they sell out to the multinational corporations and christian special interest groups.
I will never support the Democratic Party again!
