6 review will put at its center the"democracy question"—that is, what level of government is most open to democratic participation and most suited to protecting democratic rights. 5. Create a Corporation for Economic Democracy, a new federal corporation(like the Corporation for Public Broadcasting)to provide publicity, training, education, and direct financing for cooperative development and for democratic reforms to make government agencies, private associations, and business enterprises more participatory. 6. Strengthen media democracy by expanding federal support for locally-owned broadcast media and local print media. 7. Protect our personal liberty and freedoms by: • repealing the Patriot Act and those parts of the National Defense Authorization Act that violate our civil liberties; • prohibiting the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI from conspiring with local police forces to suppress our freedoms of assembly and of speech; and, • ending the war on immigrants—including the cruel, so-called"secure communities"program. 8. Rein in the military-industrial complex by • reducing military spending by 50% and closing U.S. military bases around the world; • restoring the National Guard as the centerpiece of our system of national defense; and, • creating a new round of nuclear disarmament initiatives. Let us not rest until we have pulled our nation back from the brink, and until we have secured the peaceful,just, green future we all deserve.
