It's a New Year, And a New Opportunity

It's a new year, and a time for new solutions to old problems!

I'd like to see us develop some new solutions to climate change! Perhaps a combo of better fuel efficiency standards, more incentives to develop alternative energy, and tax credits to consumers who use alternative fuels can help...
Let's work on it!

We desperately need a new solution to the Iraq crisis. We need to bring our troops home by the time this new year turns old. We must develop a strategy to bring the troops home while working on a political strategy to alleviate the horrifying chaos...
Let's work on it!

This world needs a trade regime that recognizes the need for balance, and for regulation that protects workers, communities, and the environment. We need to change our trade policy, and promote a trade regime that makes it easier for developing nations to share their goods and services with the rest of the world, while ensuring that they are not being taken advantage of by a privileged few. I believe that we can have trade that is free and fair...
Let's work on it!

I hope that 2007 will be a great opportunity for us progressives to further develop our great ideas...
And start acting on them!

So happy new year who all of you reading this right now...
Of course, 2007 will really be a happy year if we start working on creating the change that we want to see.
