100 DAY SHOPPING LIST!!!
1. Close down Gitmo
2. Re-establish Habeus Corpus in no uncertain terms
3. Ban all forms of torture
4. Roll back worst parts of Patriot Act
5. Re-open decent and honest communication with world leaders

Others? Please add your own. I can think of several that should go in a "first year" shopping list too, but I'll leave that for a different list.

19. Fight it. The Civil Rights of law-abiding citizens shouldn't be up for a vote.
That is the tyranny of the majority.

7. And purge the Justice Department of all ideological Bush Appointees.
I'd really love to see David Iglesius as AG, or that other guy--Eric....I can't remember the last name right now.

5. I love all yours. Mine would include election reform.
No American should have to worry about a stolen election ever again.

Also, I'd love to see the Fairness Doctrine re-instated.

Preparations to bring our troops home and end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I know that Obama plans to stay in Afghanistan, but I've also heard him say he'd like a mix of more international troops there as well.

There's a lot more but your list and mine would be good for the first 100 days.

14. I like your list plus OP list.
I am glad our President Elect was a Professor of Constitutional Law. He will have the patience to wade through long reports on how best to restore the balance the Bush administration smashed.

11. All the huge work of undoing **co, and then working on election reform. I was so
frustrated yesterday in the voting booth. On the one hand I was happy to help Obama beat McPalin, but on the other hand I was very sad not to be able to support my own party. If enough Greens did what I did we could wind up short on the vote percentage and lose ballot status. :(

12. Ban all electronic voting without paper copies of votes and audits.
Hire decent Attorney Generals and judges.
Fix the economy.
Step up regulation of food (including labeling of bioengineered food), water, air.
Do a special regulation of chinese imports.
Bring jobs home.
Fix veteran health system.
End Iraq.
Windfall profit tax on oil companies (and hold congressional hearings).
SCHIP.
Fix the Media.
Have a law or constitutional amendment that guarantees equal access and counting of eligible votes.
While not the administration's work - do not hinder Justice and Congress in pursuing the investigations of Bush administration crimes.



So much to do.

13. My first 100 days
1. Close Gitmo AND fair trials for all who are there. It's only fair.
2. Provide loan guarantees to the domestic auto industry. (Personally, those should come from Toyota's back, but that's up to him.) We need the jobs saved, and fast.
3. Change financial regulations and break up investment and savings banks. No more repeats of the meltdown.
4. Get Bu$h to fire Paulson. Right now. In the midst of such a crisis, there is no way an investment banker belongs leading treasury.
5. Plan to get out of Iraq. Cutting and running is probably not a good idea, but we need to have a plan to get out ASAP.
6. National regulation allowing same-sex marriages. This has to come at a national level, because too many homophobes exist in state legislatures.

15. Election Day a national holiday. National voting regulations. No more vapor ballots.
Edited on Wed Nov-05-08 12:24 PM by DeadElephant_ORG

Make those changes and progressives will have a permanent majority.

20. Funding for National Parks, stop Bush's attempted rollback of the Roadless Rule (in national forests
), stop his deregulation of air & water pollution, coal industry deregulation, etc etc etc. The man has been an unmitigated disaster on the environment, at a crucial time in the country and world's history.
