Again, tapping into the WWII imagery the neocons and their DLC fifth column are trying to peddle, oblivious to the irony of which side their policies would have fallen on during that era. Notice the DLC fascisti buzzwords, like abuse of the word "progressive," "American values," and bipartisanship.
"Band of Brothers"
Our Values
Our values are American values.
The Band of Brothers 2006 message is based in part on Stanley Greenberg’s “New JFK Democrat” model discussed in his book The Two Americas. We propose a bold new progressive politic that stresses American values, cuts across partisan lines, and provides a real choice between a country that works for the few and one that creates opportunity for all.
Republicans are vested in a divided America that is currently tipped in their favor because of their successful development and exploitation of a “family values” brand that adheres to traditional prejudices, gun rights, abortion, and same sex marriage. They have also been able to exploit the tragedy of September 11 and parlay it to a position of strength on National Security issues which has allowed them to pursue their irresponsible approach to the war on terror.
We aim to bring middle class and lower income Americans back into the decision making process by promoting candidates that may not otherwise be heard.
Band of Brothers 2006 is premised on the basic idea that all Americans should be given the same opportunities to succeed. We support policies that promote American Values:
The Band of Brothers 2006 campaign will focus on exposing neo-conservative agendas and policies that are in conflict with great American traditions. [Through limited hangout solutions apparently; they never discuss a plan to tell people that neo-liberalism -- as practiced by Clinton, Gore, Albright, Holbrooke and Kerry -- is fascism with a velvet glove.]

- Basic health care coverage for all Americans

- Responsible use of our Military
- A foreign policy that promotes US leadership with NATO, the UN, and our allies in the war on terror

- Values and Patriotism – Clarity on which values are to be honored and which values are under siege.
- Corporate Responsibility – Reinforce the sensibilities of the middle class while illustrating how neo-conservative agendas encourage corruption and greed in big corporations.
- Exposing Bush – Put the spotlight on policies that benefit the 1%, on Republican base strategy, payoffs, and cronyism.
- Foreign Policy – Not contesting the need to fight the war on terror, but illustrating that the Bush foreign policy makes it more difficult and costly.
- The Economy – Serious discussion on low income growth, increasing inequality, rising health care cost, cuts in public services, and a deepening middle class squeeze.
