Top 10 things I want the new congress to pass or work on. |
|
Edited on Wed Nov-08-06 12:22 PM by Bleachers7
These are the things I want the new Congress to pass or work on. This is the approximate order.
1. Pass the full slate of 9/11 commission recommendations.
2. Right to Keep and Bear Arms resolution which would symbolically show the support of the House for the second amendment. Of course it should be the item second symbolically.
3. Increase the minimum wage to 7.25. Increases should be scheduled for votes for the following 3 years as well. This is a neglected issue so it should be given the proper treatment.
4. Repeal all of the judicial handcuffs the pukes put on the courts. Let the courts do their jobs.
5. Adjust the AMT. It's killing working people.
6. Fund anti-crime programs. Bring back the cops program.
7. Begin a review and overhaul of the tax code. This should include multiple public forums in every congressional district. Get the people involved and let's fix the tax system. Aim to have a new tax code ready for vote by 9/08.
8. Overhaul the management of our borders. Get rid of the fence idea. Properly fund and support border control. An ambitious Congress can try to de-incentivize border jumpers.
9. Fully fund veteran's administration. Our veterans have given us so much. There should unlimited free health care for veterans. Do whatever it takes to repay our veterans.
10. Increase funding for NASA. This is a fun one that we all benefit from. This is a deep investment in science and education that I think has always paid off.
Other items of high importance is Energy Independence R&D and Healthcare.

1. My top two priorities are... |
|
1.) insuring election transparency/confidence
2.) breaking-up the propaganda monolith; having public discourse centered on issues
I think other people are like me and are too relieved to get into breaking-down and prioratizing (or envisioning) our future. However, I'm delighted that you started jumping ahead and I hope in a few days to see others weigh-in.
I hope you save this and repost when things have settled-down so I can read more responses.
