American Dream Movement

Thursday, July 21st
at Congressman Gibson’s Office in Kinderhook,
there will be a gathering of people desiring to:
               PROTECT, RESERVE, AND STRENGTHEN:
MEDICARE,
MEDICAID
SOCIAL  SECURITY
AND
CREATE GOOD JOBS AND A JUST ECONOMY

 Democracy begins when YOU show up! 

Please join us to petition Congressman Gibson to help us rebuild the “American Dream.”

The following chart shows how the increased productivity of theAmericanWorker has not been shared with those same workers, but in fact has decreased.


Over the past weekend thousands of people including over 50 people throughtout Columbia County joined 20,000 others in the nation met and discuss what makes the “American Dream” and how to bring it back.  One of the things is to petition our Congress.

Below are the ideas generated by a small group in Stuyvesant Falls:

Good Jobs Now
               1. Move toward a Clean, Green, Independent Energy Future.
               2. Invest in American’s Future.
               3. End the Huge Waste of the Wars and invest the Money in Peace-Building.

1.      Medicare for All
2.      Substantially Reduce Military Spending
3.      Protect Women’s Rights and Health

We All Pay Our Share

Working Democracy
