MoveOn To Focus On Healthcare, Jobs in '09
Progressive grassroots group MoveOn.org will focus on four key topics in 2009 -- universal healthcare; economic recovery and job creation; building a green economy and stopping climate change; and ending the war in Iraq. The group asked its members recently what issues they wanted to make a priority in the new year under a new presidential administration and hundreds of thousands responded via the Internet.
"The agenda you set is bold, ambitious -- and it is exactly the change America needs.
Of course, these aren't the only things we'll work on together -- we'll work on other issues as they come up, too," MoveOn said in a letter to supporters. Rounding out the top 10 most requested agenda items were: improving public schools; restoring civil liberties; holding the Bush administration accountable; gay rights/LGBT equality; increasing access to higher education; and reforming campaigns and elections.
