He won! A historical moment! yes! but...

There is no doubt this is a historical moment for America. We should be proud of the fact that an African American is president of this country. President-elect Obama has an enormous challenge ahead of him. Throughout the election, he has received hundreds of millions of dollars from major industry, surpassing MC Cain! We are hopeful that he will put the American people first! We will apply pressure and hold his feet to the fire and will unfortunately be playing tug of war with big corporations demanding their pound of flesh! LETS NOT HANG OUR HAT ON THIS PRESIDENT! We must let President-elect Obama that this victory was largely due to the anti war movement's response to the last 8 years or wars, economic turmoil, climate disasters by President Bush! Now the People that put him power must demand their pound of flesh!!! Please start by visiting November5.org and sign up. We must now set up congressional watch dog groups to pressure Obama and make single-payer health care, a living wage, and a less militaristic society our long-term reality. We must do this because the founders of these United States gave us the power to do it!!

so where do we start? Bringing the troops home and reducing/eliminating the occupation in the Middle East seems like a good place.
