What should be President Kerry's first executive act?

[TrueAmerican]

Outlaw Fox News and have them investigated for Treason would be one of my first.

[DebJ]

1. Reverse every damn environmental executive order issued by

Bush!

[OneBlueSky]

6. hear, hear . . . and he should announce his intention . . .

during the campaign . . . "Here's a list of (#) of regualtory changes, executive orders, and other items relating to the environment that were enacted by the Bush administration and that I will reverse during my first month in office" . . . let BushCo try to defend the list, one by one . . . should be funny . . .

[DebJ]

7. I'd like to have such a list myself. Does the League of

Conservation Voters have a concise one handy?

[7th_Sephiroth]

2. start up actual

investihations into 9-11 and abu ghraib

[Andy_Stephenson]

3. Repeal the

Patriot Act he voted for.

[K-W]

4. Ending using executive orders to violate the constitution.

Why dont we just stick with having congress make the laws.

[Catfight]

17. I like this. Protect the document from future rogue governments like Bush.

[mhr]

5. Name Bill Clinton Ambassador To The World

Clinton's sole job would be to repair our international relationships.

[mitchum]

8. Indict the Bush-Cheney gang

[Cat Atomic]

9. Stack the FCC with liberals, extend their jurisdiction to cable news, and

reinstitute the Fairness Doctrine.

But he'll never do that. I expect he'll do more like Blair and just suck up to the current power structure to get better play in the existing media structure. If he does that, we're still screwed. And so is he.

10. IMMEDIATELY:

1) Recall Negroponte from Iraq

2)Remove ALL AMERICAN personnel from Saddam's old palace in Baghdad and turn the palace into a museum for the Iraqi people!

3) Immediately expel all US Corporations from Iraq. Turn the rebuilding over to the Iraqi people and Iraqi companies heavily subsidized by US Money as reparations for the illegal invasion and occupation.

[Monte Carlo]

11. He has said that it would authorize federal funding for stem cell research

Don't ask me when exactly, don't ask me to back this up, but this is my distinct memory. It'd be a good one, with hopefully many more to follow.

[daddybear]

12. IMPEACH BUSH

Continue the drive to impeach Bush for lying and killing our troops for NO reason at all other than oil and power for himself and his cronies. Then, jail him, strip him naked and make fun of him (as he did thru the troops in Iraq) til death sets in.

[rocktivity]

13. Re-install the fairness doctrine

rescind every one of bush's executive acts that he signed to circumvent congress, and begin investigations into the Florida 2000 voter purges and the Bush criminal empire.

:headbang:
rocknation

[depakid]

16. Can't do the fairness doctrine by executive order

That would require a FCC rulemaking pursuant to the APA.

[DianeG5385]

14. Reverse Bush's order on presidential papers

Including Reagan's and Bush 1's. We need to know what they're hiding. Maybe that's why they need to win so bad. Since Kerry was so big in Iran Contra and BCCI investigations, it would not surprise me if he would want that info. to see the light of day.

[realFedUp]

15. Release the UN Population Funds

http://www.34millionfriends.org/

Background/Origin: Against the recommendation of a blue-ribbon panel of experts and despite bipartisan Congressional agreement on a $34 million contribution, the Bush Administration cut off funding to the UNFPA, United Nations Population Fund in July 2002. Funding was also blocked in 2003 ($25 million) and again, on July 16, 2004 when the Bush Administration announced its decision to withhold UNFPA funding ($34 million) for the third year in a row.

34 Million Friends of the UNFPA emerged as a spontaneous reaction to President Bush's initial decision in July, 2002 when two women, Jane Roberts and Lois Abraham, decided to write letters and send emails to everyone they knew, urging them to send in $1 to help make up for the lost funds. Their point was less to let the U.S. government off the hook as it was to put them on it. By generating thousands of $1 bills, they hoped to send a message to Washington and the world about UNFPA's important role in saving the lives of women and their children.

18. Repeal Patriot Act...

and go after BushCo for treason, murder, rape and pillaging (for starters)! :mad:

Jenn

[Gyre]

19. legalize gay marriage.

He'd cause about 40 million aneurisms in god-fearing repubs in one fell swoop. Whatever (self-declared repubs) didn't spontaneously combust would be deemed de facto democrats that the remaining non-dead repubs could stone to death for sport.:)

Gyre

[Andy_Stephenson]

29. But he is not for Gay marriage...

it is a States thing to him.

I won't hold my breath on that one.

[BillZBubb]

20. Establish an independent council to investigate:

Plamegate, no bid Iraq contracts, Cheney energy task force, the Carlyle group, and Swiftscum.

[leftofthedial]

21. Lots of Patriot Act-based terrorism arrests

of members of the bushgang who LIHOP/MIHOP'ed, lied us into war, exposed undercover CIA operatives, looted the treasury, lied to Congress and the American people, waged war against the Constitution, etc. .

After the fair secret tribunals and executions are over, he should then abolish the Patriot Act.

Then reverse environmental decisions of the bushgang.

[pacalo]

22. Mine's similar to yours: Appoint an all-new FCC board

and replace Republican-friendly FCC regulations with laws that will prevent misinformation to the public.

[imax2268]

23. bring BushCo and Cheney

up on charges of war-profiteering, war crimes, voter fraud, negligence...etc...send them to the Hague...

[Chomskyite]

24. Call for reconciliation commission hearings

. . . on the South African model, all about the Bush foreign policy.

[indepat]

25. Exposing every high crime and misdemeanor committed by the

previous Administration ASAP, giving it to us with the bark on and pulling no punches, giving no quarter.

[mbee]

26. Have a clergyman come to the White House to exorcise the evil

from the past four years from it!

[Lefty48197]

27. Nationalize the petroleum refining industry. Repeal the "right to work"

laws. Ok that's two things.

[Vogon_Glory]

28. Repeal the Gag Rule on Abortions and Abortion Info eom

[ellie]

30. Free Leonard Peltier

[Dob Bole]

31. Reverse overtime rules, free Leonard Peltier, Kyoto. Oops, that's 3.
