Get government out of the hands of the corporate-America controlled "DemReps" that continue to promise so much and deliver so little.  All political campaigns financed out of the tax base (i.e., major campaign reform).  We need a return to government of the people, by the people, for the people.

 Demilitarize our society: find and implement non-violent ways to resolve differences on all levels (including a federal Department of Peace), and begin to transform the behemoth military-industrial budget into a budget for funding humanitarian causes.

Reform and improve our educational system with quality affordable education available for all.

Radically reform our healthcare system to provide universal affordable single­ payer healthcare for all.  It is a blot on our nation that we are the only western democratic society to have entered this millennium with an antiquated, grossly inefficient and inhumane for-profit healthcare system still in place.

Make environmental and ecological sustainability one of the highest priorities; as in all these issues, face and deal with the wanton destructiveness of corporate power and its amoral hyper-greed.

Enfranchise the marginalized—the so-called minorities, women, youth, etc.

Radically reform of our grossly inhumane and unfair penal system; focus on rehabilitation over incarceration, no privatization, reform the court system, abolish the death penalty.
