This is the group where people who support Democrats, believe in equal rights, support liberal policies, or voted for Obama. This is the profile of the Democratic National Convention, for those who are democrats. If you are a furry and are a liberal or Democrat, this is where you belong.
This profile will post updates relating to Democrats, Obama, Liberal policies, and Conservative threats against YOUR rights. These include your right to free speech, your right to free religion, the freedom to marry, breaking the separation of church and state, and the right to an abortion. These will be posted in the journal. We are looking forward to the 2010 congressional vote. We cannot let our majority slip through our fingers! Get out the vote and make sure to vote for those that will protect equal rights and prosperity. Tell your friends about us, let your other left-wing buddies know that we're here. The more subscribers, the merrier.
The Democratic base is pretty clear and straightforward: young voters, women, and minorities make up most of the Democratic party. So do most people in the fandom, and some whites. According to a recent poll, 41% of furries identify as liberal, and <10% identify as Conservative. They are out there, though. Still, they are a very small minority. That means 49% of furries are a toss-up. It is our job to get support from this large base of Independents, which resemble a majority. There are many furs who simply don't care about politics, but to us, saying 'I didn't vote' is even less patriotic than saying 'I moved to Canada during the Vietnam War.' Non-voters are what keep corrupt politicians in office.
Because of our political positions on marriage, we are partners with:
Also, if you are a member of
, you are more than welcome to join, but please be tolerant.
We are also partners with
because many in the Democratic party wish to decriminalize Marijuana, which would benefit us economically and stop overcrowding in prisons. It would also get criminals off the street. We're not forcing you to agree with us on that issue, though.
Currently, we are a party that favors equal rights. We believe it is a right that everyone get affordable access to health care, as the United States is the last industrialized nation to not have universal health care. We are closer to this than ever before, and we cannot let that slide. We believe that everyone has the right to prosper. We believe that the middle class deserves respect, as well as the constitutional right to free speech and free religion. We believe that we have a moral obligation to help out those in need, and by any means necessary. We believe that guns should be left out of the hands of criminals, and that non-criminals have the right to protect themselves. We believe protecting the environment in a rational manner is a moral obligation. Think of it this way: where would the fandom be without all of those animals? Most importantly, we believe in the American Dream, and that all citizens should have an opportunity to grow and prosper.
*Our positions are left-leaning, however, we are not forcing you to agree with EVERY position of the DNC. Blue dogs are welcome. Most people who claim to be with one party disagree with some aspect of it, and that is perfectly normal. If you disagree with us entirely, though, then you don't belong here, and it is your responsibility to find the right group.
Also, WE ARE NOT SOCIALISTS. This is a common misconception. We believe in a free market, albeit with regulation. We believe prices can be controlled by using free-market methods of lawmaking. We also believe in winning in Afghanistan, and the American Socialist Parties (yes, there's two) opposes wars. We believe that people have the right to succeed, and that this right should not be taken away. If Obama were a socialist, he would NOT have passed a stimulus, he would have taken over ALL banks and businesses entirely (General Motors is slowly exiting bankruptcy and paying all of its debts, and thus will have IPOs in 2010). He would have enacted price controls and there would be no stock market. This is not what happened.

The KISS Stimulus (G)
16 years ago
I've been thinking, recently. Obama hasn't made much progress as of late (mainly due to partisan bickering and August), but he did pass a stimulus. This is probably one of his most criticized actions, but it's the biggest thing he's done. Most would agree that it would be hard, if not impossible, to get a $787 billion stimulus perfect, no matter who's passing it. Some of the programs are actually quite underfunded (high-speed rail and the "smart grid" are good examples, Source: Popular Mechanics), while some are overfunded. Even though there is proof from americanprogress.org that it is working, most of the money will not be spent until a recovery takes place. I've thought about a different, 3-part simpler stimulus that would have also worked, and should be considered next time there's a recession, where we Keep It Simple Stupid:
1 - Legalize pot and other drugs: This would save loads of unnecessary taxpayer dollars on law enforcement. It would also prevent overcrowding in prisons, which is a huge burden on taxpayers, especially in California. Also, it would be possible to tax marijuana, put a reasonable age limit, and stick warning labels on the stuff. Therefore the government would actually MAKE some revenue, instead of burning wads of cash. We'd also create jobs growing and processing, reduce the crime rate, and keep criminals (especially Mexican Drug Lords) off the street. It's a win for everyone.
2 - Covert to Metric:Most people know that the US (and some parts of the UK) is the last industrialized nation to not use the metric system (much like we're the last industrialized nation NOT to have universal health coverage). However, it's an easy fix. Everyone knows what Liters are, now that there are 1-3 liter bottles of beverages. Milliliters would also not be that hard to figure out, like for 350ml cans. It would also be easy for car buffs to figure out. Also, THINK OF THE JOBS! Not only would we have to replace old signs, we'd need entirely new signs similar to the ones you see when entering Canada that say "60=100" (and that is quite clearly simple math) entering the highway. Systems would also need to be updated, for example, instead of "MPG" the EPA would have to measure "Liters/km," which puts it into greater perspective. Industries, especially health care, would also need to update systems, weights, and container sizes, which would take extra effort. Also, there would be a psychological impact. People will feel that they're driving faster and weigh less. The hardest measure to adapt to would be temperature, as in degrees Celsius. Here's a simple solution: if it's close to 30 it's hot, 20 it's warm, 10 it's cold, 0 it's freezing. Also, the greatest benefit of all is that it would benefit our scientists. It would no longer be difficult to discuss results with the rest of our population. Remember: science is the key to a better life.
3 - Legalize Gay Marriage: According to a study by the UCLA, allowing same-sex weddings and tourism in Maine would cause a $60 million increase in spending and would add 1,000 new jobs. The state would have a $3.6 million increase in tax revenue over the next three years. However, there is a Nov. 4 referendum that will put it up to a vote, and if this ends up like Proposition 8, it is likely to have the opposite effect on their economy. If you're from Maine, or would like to contribute, please visit: http://www.protectmaineequality.org for more information. AND THAT'S JUST ONE STATE! In nearly all jurisdictions that have legalized gay marriage, the economic impact was positive. These are real numbers, not something from a book written 2,000 years ago which always seems to have coffee stains on it. It would also make a statement for civil rights, which the United States has been falling behind steadily on. Legalizing it in the United States would make many non-US citizens spend money and get married here, much like Canada benefits from us. This would also boost our economy. There are plenty of ways to legalize gay marriage in the US, but partisan bickering always gets in the way.
So, these three SIMPLE changes would greatly benefit our economy. It would probably cost less, too. True, there is controversy, but unfortunately the economy is the number one issue and cash is king, and the economic benefits far outweigh the risks. If I were in congress, this is something I would consider.
