Margaret Kimberley published ten questions in today’s Black Agenda
Report (www.blackagendareport.com) that I think should define a
minimal progressive platform: 1. Will you end the occupation of Iraq? 2. Will Jose Padilla still be in prison? Will you close Guantanamo? 3. Will you enact a plan for universal health care? 4. Will your administration demand that Israel cease committing
human rights abuses and waging war against its neighbors? 5. Will you keep abortion legal? 6. Will you reverse the Patriot Act and other attacks on civil
liberties? 7. Will you rebuild New Orleans and the Gulf Coast? 8. Will you decrease the prison population? 9. Will you expose the criminal acts of the Bush administration? 10. Will you protect voting rights? There’s nothing radical here
Sorry to say this, but by the standards of 2007, this is pretty radical.
