(490 posts)so I assume a conservative democrat and I may overlap some but with significant differences.
1- I want a strong federal government with strong regulatory arms...
2- Except in military. I want both it and the black budget reigned in... especially NSA
3- I don't want "kill lists."
4- I want more transparency especially when it comes to the drone program.
5 - I'm not a fan of states rights since they only seem to use them to discriminate be it against women or against minority voting rights.
6- I want single payer healthcare.
7 - I want to expand social security both for myself and those upcoming boomers with no retirement income.
8- I want to regulate the hell out of Wall Street. Many should go to jail.
9- I expect the FDA and the EPA and other protective government agencies to do their jobs.
10 - I want a progressive tax structure and closed loopholes for big business.
11 - I want a minimum wage of at least $15.00 per hour.
12 - I want to concentrate on strengthening our unions again.
13 - I want to overturn citizen's united.
14 - I want to make lobbying illegal or at the very least regulate the hell out of it.
15 - I want a tax hikes on anyone making over $250,000 and a Wall Street transaction tax.
16- I want free education from K to 12 and huge debt relief for college students.
17 - I want our police force demilitarized.
18 - I want strong gun rights protection but with background checks.
19 - I want our government healthcare system to be able to negotiate with pharma.
I'm sure I could think of more but 5AM where I am and I'm groggy.
