3. Reading the table of contents alone is making me feel better already..

It's going to take a while to get through it, but what I have read so far is excellent. Joe is ready to get to work for us, and that's a wonderful thing. Now we just have to get everyone to VOTE as EARLY as they can.

6. Very ambitious, and sorely needed changes. One change I'd REALLY like to see more emphasis on

is election security. We have got to fix the broken election system, whose computers and central tabulators currently can be hacked by any semi-skilled hacker. There also needs to be a constitutional amendment to do away with the electoral college, and a more equitable distribution of senators per population. Our democracy is broken to the bone. Trump didn't DO that, he just took advantage of it. There needs to be capital punishmentf or people who tamper with elections OR voters. We need to stop this nonsense once and for all.

We also need to separate out who can fire IG's in the different departments, and keep the heads of our agencies and our ambassadors from being manipulated like trump and barr have done.

We have a lot of holes in our democracy that need to be filled with double protections. And to start the whole thing, we need to get rid of the Patriot Act and the Homeland Security Act. Out. Done. Abolished.
