MoveOn.org took a vote for the top priorities to fight for in coming months.
Here are the top ten:
| Health care for all | 65091 |
| Sustainable energy independence | 61030 |
| Restored constitutional rights ; | 35675 |
| Guaranteed accurate elections | 35133 |
| Diplomacy over militarism | 28912 |
| High quality education for all | 27874 |
| Solutions to global warming | 26306 |
| A guaranteed living wage | 25527 |
| Publicly funded elections | 21096 |
| A balanced federal budget | 20945 |
I'm all over it! I might quibble about the order ... (whatever happened to good ole Aristotealian logic, anyway??) but okay. It's a start, and I like that the list was generated from a vote. Since Moveon is explicitly an internet organization, you can't really critique the fact that only people with computers, internet access, and technology-saavy voted. That's its membership!
Of course, now it's time to face the devil in the details. Isn't it amazing how consensus on goals is always easier to generate than agreement on actions? Saddle up and strap it. It's gonna get bumpy. At least we can say, thank god there's a ride.
