1. Stop all executions. Our government should not use death as a
punishment.
2. Provide health care to everyone. Access to health care is a fundamental human right. We sent people to the moon more than 40 years ago. We can figure out to do this.
3. Restore habeas corpus. No country, especially the U.S., should
engage in the practice of forced disappearances.
4. Overhaul copyright laws to restore some common sense to our legal
system. Listen to Lawrence Lessig.
5. Stop annoying travelers with ineffective regulations that make us
nearly as angry at Homeland Security as the people who try to attack
planes.
6. Get rid of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” If gay people want to protect
our country, we should let them.
7. Legalize marijuana. The criminalization of marijuana use is
wasting money in our courts and prisons. It’s also killing thousands
in Mexico.
8. Stop treating corporations like citizens. Corporations can’t vote
in elections and shouldn’t be permitted to influence them with money.
9. Treat climate change seriously. Sure there are skeptics and there
will always be, but we can take actions now that future generations
will be grateful for.
10. Spend less money on the military and more on research and
development that will benefit all of humanity.
