The electoral college has to go.

Political gerrymandering has to be outlawed.

Thanks to the Supreme Court, we now have to clearly state that the President is not above the law, and that corporations aren't people; and if we have to reiterate birthright citizenship and the right of everyone in this country to due process, regardless of their immigration status, even though they're already in the 14th amendment, so be it.

The ERA has to be revived.

Evangelicals like to claim "separation of church and state" isn't in the constitution; scholars disagree, but let's put it there, just to make sure.
