Most of this 10 point program is uncontroversial for Moveon types

[Paullenart]

The Organizer Newspaper has been circulating the 10 point program
below in labor and peace and justice circles:

Here are 10 fundamental demands that we believe should be included in
an Emergency Workers' Recovery Plan to Plan to Bail out Working People
-- NOT Wall Street.

1) Put a halt to the Wall Street bailout plan. Not one more penny
should be earmarked to bail out the bankers and speculators. It's time
to bail out working people.

2) Enact a moratorium on all home foreclosures, utility shut-offs,
evictions and rent hikes. Nationalize the mortgage industry, including
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

3) Enact H.R. 676 -- the universal, single-payer healthcare plan.
Take the private insurance companies out of the healthcare equation.

4) Enact the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) so that every worker can
have union representation.

5) Stop the layoffs in auto and other industries across the country.
Nationalize the Big 3 automakers. Re-tool the auto industry to build a
rapid mass transit and solar and wind systems.

6) Stop the scapegoating of immigrant workers. Stop the ICE raids and
deportations.

7) End all funding for the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and
bring our troops home now. The war expenditures in these countries
alone are estimated at $3 trillion. Redirect all war funding to meet
human needs.

8) Enact a massive national reconstruction public works program
(minimum expenditure needed of $1 trillion) to rebuild the nation's
schools, hospitals and crumbling infrastructure and to put millions of
people back to work at a union-scale wage. Provide all necessary
funding for a genuine Reconstruction program in the Gulf Coast;
support the Gulf Coast Civic Works Act (H.R. 4048).

9) Defend and expand the rights and economic security of those who are
unable to work -- who include all working people at some point in
their lives. Grant living-wage benefits to single parents, disabled,
seniors, and the unemployed. End the arbitrary, punitive time limits,
sanctions, denial of education, and forced unwaged workfare in the
TANF welfare program and unemployment assistance programs. Provide
free, high-quality childcare for single parents who want to work
outside the home or attend school. Reduce the backlog and end time
limits for disability application determinations.

10) Tax the corporations and the rich -- not working people -- to
finance a workers' recovery plan. The rich currently enjoy
historically high levels of wealth while being taxed at bargain-
basement rates. Implement a retroactive tax on windfall revenue on the
oil-energy industry, roll back capital income taxation to 1981
levels, repatriate the $2 trillion from the offshore tax havens.
