on its path to total destruction. Here are a few ideas and actions that might help lead this nation in the opposite direction of its destiny to the grave.

1) Elect a competent President/Vice President and Congress that believes and makes our entire nation and its citizens the
priority, instead of selling out to the corrupt corporations, the wall street traitors and their enabling investors.
2) Eliminate the tax cuts to the rich; those that earn $200,000.00 or more per year.
3) Eliminate the cap on Social Security contributions.
4) Reduce our dependency of foreign energy by accelerating mandatory higher mileage vehicle requirements and introduce
heavy regulations on all energy producing/utility monopolies.
5) Create and promote national employee owned corporations and companies that are required to operate within the USA and
employ American citizens with funding provided with guaranteed loans from financial institutions.
6) Drastically reduce the Pentagon Operations and budget.
7) Provide national health care for all Americans and eliminate the wall street powered HMOs.
8) Install heavy regulations on the financial institutions and lenders of mortgages, credit cards, personal loans etc.
9) Require all able bodied adult Americans to work in some capacity, even those without a steady job or those that have lost
their job.
10)Make affordable higher education, and funding for the same, available to all American citizens.
11)Drastically reduce the H-1B visa program, American citizens can do these jobs.
12)Secure our borders, then deport all illegal aliens. Provide foreign worker visas as necessary; American citizens come
first.
13)Drastically reduce legal immigration until this nation has itself back on solid financial footing.
14)Install a high American content requirement law for manufacturing, wholesale and retail.
15)Install heavy regulations on lobbyists and lobbying
16)Reduce Congressional jobs to ACTUAL part time status with part time pay.
17)Install term limits on all federal, state, local elected official positions.
18)Install term limits on all judicial positions.
19)Install worker's rights laws
20)Reinstitute checks and balances to all levels of government

........and so on.
