If democrats do get the needed votes to overcome a filibuster, which is very precarious because of joe lieberman, i would want them to
1. nationalize healthcare, taking the insurance companies out of it, or at least give people the option to enroll in free healthcare.
2. Revoke every corrupt government agency starting with the FDA, the FCC and the NSA. dont forget the Federal reserve.
3. put limits on executive power.
4. enact strict consumer protection laws for everything, especially food.
5. repeal no child, the medicare drug benefit for drug companies & the patriot act.
6. heavily regulate banks and finance companies that cause national recessions.
7. make it easier for citizens to hold elected officials accountable.
8. legalize gay marriage on a national level, or at least take away government benefits to the married so there is no discrimination.
9. give states their powers back and reduce the reach of the national government.
10. expand the power of congress against the president.
11. outlaw gotcha capitalism and corporate control of the media.
12. and, while slightly unconstitutional, give states the right to have preference for native born or permanent residents over people from other states. i think this is important because someone who moves here and hasnt paid any taxes should not be eligible for the same benefits as life long residents who have been voting in that state their whole life.
