what would you like kerry to do once he wins [View All]

obviously he is going to be better than bush, but what are the specific changes that you would like to see while his administration is in charge.

for me, i would like to see:

white colar crime - cracking down on large scale tax evasion for corporations and making it easier to punish crooked executives, making sentences tougher

evironmental - making punishments a lot tougher for corporations and expanding and actually enforcing our environmental protection laws

felons - helping people find work after prison, rehabilitation treatment for non-violent drug users instead of prison

illegal immigrants - cracking down on our borders and stopping illegal immigrations, granting amnesty to those illegal immigrants who are here to work and don't have criminal records, very steep fines for corporations that hire illegal immigrants

preserving jobs - rewrite tax code, increase taxes for corporations that outsource jobs, cut taxes for corporations that hire and produce in usa

women - make sure that a woman who has to take time off work because of pregnancy has the same amount of legal protection as a reservist soldier who is being deployed

make civil unions legal and give them every single federal and state benefit that goes with traditional marriage

universal health care, or at least expand medicaid to include all people who are currently uninsured

raise minimum wage to livable wage

enforce anti-trust laws and sue large corporations, the way microsoft was sued before, starting with corporations that control media

repeal tax cuts, increase taxes on wealthy, give tax breaks to small businesses and corporations that hire and produce in usa

hold elections in iraq and get the hell out

better funding for cia and homeland security, secure our nuclear and chemical plants, cia needs 10 times as much money at it's getting now to effectively combat al quada

stop wasting money on star wars program

recognize palestine with borders along the green line and institute 'marshall' plan for palestine
