Attaboy, Stew! On one thing, you're a little premature. With Bush' cabinet
nominees, the reductions in social programs thus far will look like mere blips.
The job immediately is to get our friends who damned Nader and Nader voters to
show we were wrong by getting their Democrats in office to deny confirmation to
those cabinet appointees, and to keep doing so until he has a cabinet we can live
with. The votes to accomplish this are there. The only question is whether the
Democrats will use them.
