Merci McCain http://www.ourfuture.org is the home of Campaign for America's Future. -- As the US economy sputters, can America afford to export over 40,000 manufacturing jobs to France? Sen. John McCain sure seems to think so. He helped the US military choose the French company AirBus for a contract estimated at more than $40 billion -- a contract that could have generated over 40,000 jobs here at home, in the USA. American workers cry foul! McCain's adoring French fans cry, "Vive John McCain!" Tags: john mccain air bus france jobs boeing campaign for america's future caf progressive |

We will fight for social justice, Righting wrongs that are amongst us. And we'll Take Back America. To our troops in Iraq, We will bring you back. And support you here at home.

Don't Believe the [Conservative] Hype! http://www.ourfuture.org is the home of Campaign for America's Future. Here's the "Failure of Conservatism," brought to you by conservative ideologue (and now-New York Times columnist) William Kristol. In this video, Kristol butts up against the limits of his own conservative views. America's ready for a change! Unfortunately, ideologues like Kristol would sooner defend old (and broken) conservative strategies than chart a new course that might actually work for ordinary Americans.

Roger Hickey - Social Security Victory Roger Hickey addresses why American's rejected Bush's raw deal on Social Security. Roger Hickey:Co-Director, Campaign for America's Future, founding board member of Americans United to Protect Social Security, and author of the important January 2003 memo: A Battle Progressives Can Win, published in The American Prospect, February 2005 (v16, no2): "For progressives, the battle for Social Security represents a rare opportunity to stop the newly re-elected president dead in his tracks, to demonstrate the bankruptcy of his extreme conservative agenda, and to point to a new politics of "shared security" around which we can build a new majority for change. Winning won't be easy, but a powerful combination of progressive forces—national organizations, political funders and philanthropists, policy experts, and grass-roots and online networks (including veterans of the 2004 elections)—are coming together."
