The Peoples Agenda
|
The Long Island Alliance for Peaceful Alternatives and other Long
Island groups have launched a petition campaign to gather signatures
for THE PEOPLE’S AGENDA FOR 2008. The People's Agenda puts
forth what Long Islanders, and citizens across the country, expect
our candidates and elected officials to do to make our government
more accountable and fair to all Americans and to restore our
country’s credibility in the world. The number of signatures we
collect will document the strong public support that exists for an
end to the Iraq war, for government policies that will address
poverty and global warming, and for a foreign policy based on the
rule of law.
