Our sparkling new democratically elected Democratic President starts his/her new gig in earnest; where to begin?
How does one untie and unravel 8 years of wanton and willful undoing of our basic American foundations.
There are not 'country clean up services' to call.
There is only a trail of devastation and slime left behind by the stinky maggots that ransacked the place.....
this trail is left in the form of executive orders, departmental, administrative rule and regulation changes and laws that have undone the fabric of our previously civilized and basically united society. What would you try to tackle first? How much could be accomplished how fast? Should you triage or prioritize the worst of these?
The most aggregious offenses to America by this administration have been unilateral executive rule and regulation changes down through the cabinet departments and out to the country, followed by laws enacted by the (bipartisan) corporate majority that was bought and paid for decades ago and was until this month about to turn this country into their little serfdom.
How could this community assist in this endeavor of turning back the damage done by HRH King Geo. the 43rdiest and court?
Could we not over several months create a standing page in the right column that lists every order, change, regulation, rule and law that W and his ilk created and some how prioritize it based on our values as Constitution loving, World community participating, Multicultural E Pluribus Unum type unabashed liberals.
What would it be like if more than half of the things that were done during 00-08 were reparable with a SIGNATURE! What if all the paperwork was pre-written and prepared so that on 1/21/09 at 8:30 AM all Russ or Al or Wes or Evan or Hilary would have to do is have a big party and undo all of W's EO's and reg changes. Put the FDA, EPA, USDA, homeland security and every other cabinet back on track, working for a better America and Earth, not to line pockets and subvert the Constitution into a document supporting only sectarian fundamentalists.
What would it take to have this list ready for the next President, even if (insert denomination specific prayer here) it is a moderate GOP'er willing to listen?
