1. ABOLISH the idiotic, fear-mongering color-coded alerts on your first day in office.
2. STOP the insane robotic airport announcements over the public address systems. Stop the "bully" mentality that has taken over the security officers at airports.
3. CANCEL PURCHASE ORDERS FOR military tanks with machine gun turrets for U.S. police forces. U.S. citizens are not the enemy! Uphold freedom of speech, including freedom of dissent.
4. CANCEL CONTRACTS to build detention centers in the U.S. for holding its own citizens. Make a full public disclosure on this issue. Who has the contracts? Where were centers built? How many were built? At what cost? For what purpose? Convert these centers to a useful purpose.
5. ABOLISH THE LIST of over one million names of so-called suspected terrorists. Voluntarily inform people if their name is on the list. Many of these names are journalists and patriotic Americans who exercised free speech speaking out against illegal and Draconian acts of the Bush administration.
6. STOP EAVESDROPPING on phone calls and email of US citizens without a court warrant.
7. EXTEND CIVIL AND HUMAN RIGHTS to everyone living in the United States, whether legally or illegally. Provide a legal process for appealing residency requests and deportation orders. So long as children reside in our country, we must educate them and provide equal rights and equal access to services.
8. EASE ENTRY TO THE U.S. FOR REFUGESS especially displaced Iraqi's whose families have been killed in the American invasion of their country, women and girls who have been victims of rape as an act of war and have no safe place to turn, and women in danger of death or harm due to Shari'a law. We are a land of immigrants, and our heart and country is big enough for compassion.
