I don't think any of you would like me for President, and that's quite all right. I think I would do much better as a Senator, to help bring back sanity and to keep our Constitution from those who would bring us to Fascism.
That said, I would have to take an economic course or two as this wasn't my forte in college.
Death penalty should only be reserved for the worst of the worst. To arbitrarily kill isn't justice, it's vigilanteism. Those that DNA proves to be innocent should be released without predigest.
Due process is there for those who are innocent as well as the guilty. To loose our rights because of personal animus is not acceptable.
I would vote to repeal DADT, DOMA and pass with Transpeople included EDNA.
I would vote to pass unemployment extensions so that this country can begin to dig itself out of this mess W left us.
I would vote for a flat tax for those making over 250,000.00 a year, and it would be substantial, 40-50 %, and those making over 2 million 50-60%. Those who do not make 250K and less would get tax exemptions for interest paid to college education, home mortgages, and caretaker health care.
I would vote for Nationalized healthcare for every citizen, nationalized and working on a guest or workers visa. Those who make over 250K would be responsible for their own health care and can apply at any time they do not make this cut off.
Comprehensive immigration is a harder subject, but I would start by making the Dream Act law.
There is more, but I've drained my hands of typing at the moment.
