The Pocono Progressives are organizing to work on the following issues:

• Economic Strength

  We support building a strong economy at home that provides jobs, healthcare, education, and housing for all.

• An End to Unilateral Foreign Policy

  Bush took us to war, against the will of the United Nations and against the advice of many longstanding allies. With “sexed up” intelligence that we now know to be simply false, Congress and the American people were misled and deceived. If we are to prevent terrorism and make this nation safer, our government must act in concert with our allies and through the United Nations. That is the only way we will ever be able to bring our troops home.

• Protection of Civil Liberties and Civil Rights

  The Bush Administration has attacked civil liberties and civil rights with a vengeance not seen since the dark days of the McCarthy era. The “Patriot” Act allows the government to obtain warrants without showing cause and invade almost every aspect of our privacy. Our homes can be searched without our knowledge, our library records can be seized and our phones and Internet communications tapped. We must repeal the “Patriot” Act and work to protect the civil rights of immigrants and all persons in our community.

• A Healthy Environment

  We are committed to working for a healthy enviroment for all, renewable energy, and the creation of green jobs
