Karen Krueger: "I'd like to tell George Bush to do the honorable thing and resign. Be sure and take Dick Cheney and Karl Rove with you."
Alex Vallejo (at right): "To not equate communism with totalitarianism. I think under capitalism or a free market system, economic disparity will usually occur along racial and gender lines."
Kristin Eager Killion: "Maybe acceptance is the answer, keeping the focus on ourselves. Often we finger point at what other people do wrong rather than look at what we can change in our own behavior."
Norm Schafer (at right): "I'd
like to tell them to listen. There's a lot of important issues out there.
I think politicians need to start to listen to working people, start
listening to what's going on. It seems it never fails when we have a
crisis domestically, like the economy, we go outside and find a foreign
issue to get mixed up in because it unites us. This whole terrorism thing
is almost a perfect unending thing to distract us."
John Sausser: "One word: accountability."
Alan McConnell: "Impeach our criminal president."
Wayne Hosten (at right): "It's really about putting people first. You want things that are going to uplift folks -- health care, education, affordable housing -- that's crucial -- and education that would lead to jobs, that would include apprenticeships and trades.
We ought to be bringing back the ideals of the New Deal. Even though we come from different walks of life, different ethnic background, ultimately we're the same. We want to leave a legacy, provide for our families, engage in things, have a home, a good job, a living wage, health insurance, these are the bread and butter issues.
Politicians should be getting the big picture instead of being focused on special issues. Then we'd have an OK society."
