News 08-08-03 Al Gore Challenges Reasons for War in Iraq (Moveon.org) "I'm convinced that one of the reasons that we didn't have a better public debate before the Iraq War started is because so many of the impressions that the majority of the country had back then turn out to have been completely wrong. Leaving aside for the moment the question of how these false impressions got into the public's mind, it might be healthy to take a hard look at the ones we now know were wrong and clear the air so that we can better see exactly where we are now and what changes might need to be made." 8-03 08-08-03 Views of Democratic Candidates for President (AFLCIO.org) Presents the transcript of questions answered by Democratic candidates for president of the U.S. when asked by members of the AFL-CIO. 8-03 10-11-03 Democrats to Gather Funds for Presumptive Candidate (Washington Post) "The Federal Election Commission on Thursday backed a group's plan to gather donations for the Democratic presidential nominee months before the candidate is picked, turning aside concerns raised by commission lawyers.

"Kerry voted for NAFTA in 1993 but has since said he would order a 120-day review of all trade pacts. He laid out specific guidelines for companies wanting to send jobs overseas, including at least three months' advance notice for affected employees as well as notification of the Labor Department (news - web sites), state agencies and local government officials." "In addition, he would require the federal government to compile statistics on off-shored jobs and report to Congress annually and disclosure of how many jobs were going where and why. Also, he would ensure that federal contracts were not being outsourced overseas." "A decorated Vietnam war veteran who has campaigned on his combat record, Kerry said it was time 'to put patriotism back in the driver's seat.'

"Kerry also has proposed rolling back Bush's tax cuts for Americans who make more than $200,000 a year, raising the minimum wage, cutting the cost of health care, closing tax loopholes that encourage companies to move jobs overseas and cracking down on trade violations." 2-04
