*MY Democratic agenda moving forward:

1. Neuter Citizens United, post-haste.
2. Unleash the economy by getting a BIG infrastructure/transportation program going.
3. Re-enact Glass-Stegall
4. Elections reform, including a National Holiday, not limiting to just one day.

tired this morning, that's all I have for now. Add your own, I intend to hold their feet to the fire now more than ever.
