What would your agenda be if you were elected President?
Advertisements [?]
Mine:

The first thing? Kill the stupid fucking war in Iraq.

Second: Kill that stupid fucking embargo and normalize relations with Cuba.

The third: An Equal Rights amendment stating that ALL rights belong to ALL people. No ifs, ands, buts, or exceptions. Yes, that would include an official mandate for recognition of gay marriage.

The fourth: Universal, government-funded health care.

The fifth: Universal, government-funded school lunches (and breakfasts, and carry-home dinners). NO child should ever be hungry in the richest country in the world.

The sixth: A yearly Federal tax on automobiles, based on gasoline mileage for that model. Any car with mileage below the industry-wide average pays NOTHING. (PS: That would cost me big for one of my cars, but I'd be happy to pay it.)

The seventh: The receipts from that automobile tax to be used to provide homeowners and businesses with rooftop photovoltaic panels for generating electricity.

That would take care of my first seven days in office.

I could go on, but I'm tired. I'll be back tomorrow to read YOUR ideas, and will be very interested in doing do.

Redstone
