6. We do need a blueprint... one day almost two years ago i started the following list
in no particular order and very much a crude, stream of consciousness, draft. I think I will drag it out again and work on it.

• defund NED (NDI CIPE IRI ACILS)
• implement FCC guidelines for any media entity that licenses or uses public airwaves for any business purpose to provide public access/universal election coverage/equal time coverage
• formulate labor law that allows any person wishing to form a labor union protection to do so (broaden rather than restrict definition of a person able to join/form a labor union)
• continuously graduated income tax from the first dollar (simplify tax code)
• capital gains taxes raised so that they are higher than taxes on labor
• fix the estate tax by raising limit (graduating?)
• make it illegal to profit from war industry
• war effort deprivatized (any activity in a war zone will be performed by the military not a contractor)
• implement government wide sunshine laws
• legalize industrial hemp
• universal single payer health care (end health care run as a for profit enterprise)
• public financing of elections
• make election day a national holiday
• military bases around the world
• return to public accountability for corporations force renewal of corporate charters (revoke the concept of corporate personhood) make it illegal for one corporation to buy another one
• more strictly define a corporate monopoly anti-trust laws
