What are the issues?

["John Gelles" <johng@xxxxxxxxxx>]

        What are issues as seen from a Victory over Want
        (VOW) perspective?

        1.  Democratic procedures that make it possible for
             people with little wealth, office or celebrity to
             raise their issues for public attention and debate.

        2.  Safety net, full employment, less disparity in
             conspicuous and real consumption, and similar
             bread and butter issues, all aimed to raise the
             worldwide minimum standard of living.

        3.  Environmentalism.

        4.  Money-crankism.

        Because so much brilliant writing on VOW gets
        lost in cyberspace, I invite all of us to try to get
        some structure to hold our issues -- and move
        that brilliance toward agendas (with some
        narrative) that can cling to our website.

        Voters with sympathy for the poor ought to be
        able to visit our website and know what we have
        in mind to accomplish our objectives -- how we
        would use their time and money if they chose to
        join our effort.
