Answer 3

Take control of the cost or Health Care, Education, and Gasoline in this country!

We should not have to endure the torture of Poliltical Pay back to these areas like what Bush has been doing for the last six years!

Answer 4

Mostly, the first priority would be to undo the damage that this president has done.

Pass environmental legislation that protects, rather than harms, the environment.

Pass Medicare legislation that gets seniors their meds, without enriching drug makers and health plan companies with 500% profits, at the expense of the taxpayers and the elderly poor.

Dismantle the Education Now Means They Only Learn How to Pass Tests, Nothing Else act.

Join the civilized international community by agreeing that crimes against humanity are, in fact, crimes against humanity.

Reverse "If you're rich, you don't have to pay taxes, you just get all the remaining government services."

Pound down the debt as well as they can (it simply can't be done, but they need to do what they can to bring it as far down as possible).

Purge every incompetent Bush appointee in every department. (If, by accident, he happened to appoint a few that aren't complete morons, hopelessly corrupt, or both, then, by all means, keep those on -- dump the rest int he trash.)

There is, of course, no way to un-murder, un-torture, un-rape Bush's victims.

Sink serious money into good energy sources -- research, subsidies for early adopters, help for middle class to switch over.

Push for adoption of that really cool plan to cut extreme poverty in the world in half in 10 years, floated by that UN guy whose name I'll never remember.

Immediately cease support of every brutal, oppresive government we've hitherto supported, including Israel.

Make the changes the Democrats were suggesting to make Social Security solvent, without taking its whole point (and all the money) away.

What I'd love to see, but doubt I will, would be true educational reform. Put money into it so that it's no longer the case that rich kids go to good schools, everyone else goes to impoverished schools.

Set a national curriculum that's SANE -- I'm not talking about a long list of hundreds of thousands of bits of trivia, but the few core concepts for each subject.

(Get reform-minded subject area specialists, educational researchers, and child development experts to pull this together. Not a comprehensive list of what each kid does each week of his schooling, but what are the biggest bang for the buck concepts in every field; then train teachers to teach for them.)

Election reform: No one votes on paperless machines; anyone who prevents any qualified voter from voting does hard time in the worst prisons we have -- treat it as treason, which it is. Finance reform. (Yeah, right.) Something in place when it's found that an election was fraudulent (something other than "well, they're in office, so we're stuck with them").

Spend night and day convincing Scalia and Thomas they REALLY NEED TO RETIRE. Bribe them if necessary. -- sorry, I'm getting a little out of control, here.

I'll stop now.

Answer 5

Health Care (99% of American's don't know how big this problem is)

Maybe we should can Social Security and replace the FICA payments with a national insurance system. If you don't have the card you don't get health care.

We could still have the private medical system for people who want to pay extra for certain services (i.e. cosmetic surgery) or expedited service.

Answer 6

I would like to see the new president repair the damage done to our civil rights by the current president. I would like to see the old patriot act repealed and a new, more reasonable one enacted.

I would like the new president to appoint judges who will stand up for civil liberties.

Answer 7

Immigration not only in the south - but our northern border as well.

Healthcare - everyone needs to be able to afford it!

Answer 8

Legal POT
