End the war on drugs immediately. Distribute hard drugs (heroin, crack, and speed) from medical centers for free, while soft drugs (weed, shrooms, etc.) should be taxed and regulated like alcohol. Invest the entire dividend in education. Amnesty for all drug prisoners now.

Yeah, clear out of Iraq.

Everyone has a right to housing. Expand homeless shelters and low-income housing. The government should be undercutting landlords at every opportunity and keeping rents low, so that money can go to helping the economy instead of a stagnant landowning class.

Change immigration laws to help young, healthy people with Democratic values join the American people. Instead of letting in the 9/11 hijackers, weird old racist grandparents, and "college students" who barely speak English, let's officially open our doors to the people who are already here, cooking our food, fixing our houses, picking our crops, washing our dishes, raising people's kids, etc.

And yes, get the fuck off of oil now rather than too late. A general focus on global warming, biodiversity loss, sustainable agriculture, etc.
