The bare minimmum

The four amendments that I think make a bare minimum of change we need in this thing:

Amend "High-quality, accessible health care services including support services to children and families" in "health care" to "Universal access to high-quality, accessible health care services including support services to children and families building upon the 2006 'Act providing access to affordable, quality, accountable health care'".

Amend the section "economic growth and labor" to include

We support laws and regulations that protect the right to organize workers, including employee free choice.

Amend the section "education" include:

"We support fair and comprehensive assessment of students, educators, and districts that goes beyond high-stakes standardized testing"

Amend the section "revenue and tax expenditures" to include:

"We support progressive income taxation, along the model of the United States income tax."

If you don't think the Democratic platform should include employee free choice, universal health care, fair assessment, and the progressive income tax...why do you think we need a platform at all?
