I don't know if I would call it a civil rights bill, more along the lines of the social contract that Don1 has outlined. Whatever it is we need someone who can sell it as something for the country to rally behind.

I've been watching some documentaries recently about the US space program. In the early 60s when Kennedy challenged them to put a man on the moon before the end of the decade, they hadn't even got a man in orbit around the earth yet and the Soviets were way ahead. Yet by 1969 they were landing men on the moon. This was an accomplishment of no small order, took resources, commitment, support of the public, a bold and respected leader to state the vision, etc,etc.

Same kind of thing we need boss, a strong leader with vision AND a nation that buys into it and willing to make the sacrifice.
