New Congress: What I would like to see
1. Troops pulled back to Kuwait and an increase in their strength.

2. Vast increase of attention focused on getting Osama Bin Laden.

3. Relief and reconstruction in New Orleans.

4. Roll back of tax laws to Clinton era.

5. Profit caps enacted on oil companies.

6. Re regulation of News Media to pre Reagan era.

7. Over turn the Military Commission's Act of 2006.

8. Enact internet freedom protections (Constitutional Amendment).


For starters. :)

1. I would remove one, and add one:
I hate the idea of profit caps on any company that is competing in a fair and open marketplace. Because Raygun dismantled our nation's antitrust enforcement apparatus, we don't really have a fair and open marketplace. So, I would remove the profit caps from your list, and add "initiate aggressive antitrust law enforcement" to it - then go after the oil companies, and REALLY go after Wally World. They've had it way too easy for WAY too long.
