b) Every single religious entity which has received any benefit from the faith based initiatives, will undergo a proctological audit, starting with their account books, to their very skivvies analyzing and seeking recovery of even a penny that was improperly accounted for, spent, used for political reasons or connected to any building, meeting room, structure at which any political event ever took place, including the sharing of data, phone calls or mailing of even one letter. If such act occured, that organization shall be sued by the local federal US attorney and stripped of all tax protection, sued for recovery of every penny received, and sued for all costs of the litigation. Individuals involved will be personally sued and if convicted of the slightest abuse or bending of any law, incarcerated for no less than 5 yrs for each offence.

[Captain Hilts]

1. Executive Order: Take Reagan's name off National Airport. nt

[ellenfl]

25. and florida's turnpike. eom

[ronnykmarshall]

2. Ban all Tom Cruise films.

[rpgamerd00d]

3. New version of Fairness Doctrine, and split up the Media Monoplies

[ChairmanAgnostic]

4. Yea, I like it, almost as much as banning Cruise movies.

[AlCzervik]

5. Repeal the bankruptcy law and a law against having any member of

the Bush family ever serving in public office again.

[AngryAmish]

6. Shaving the heads of the collaborators

[ChairmanAgnostic]

8. and what of sinead? She was still cute.

I'd prefer a brand. Red hot, with a 666 in the middle

[MadMaddie]

7. Companies that take their productions to countries....

where they pay the workers nothing....will not escape paying taxes....

[Katherine Brengle]

13. AMEN! n/t

[Katherine Brengle]

9. Good list. May I add:

Prioritizing US signature of the Kyoto Protocol, or even better, the creation of a new and better international treaty regarding environmental pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.

Legal review of the "Unitary Executive" theory--this cannot be allowed to exist any longer, much less practiced.

I am sure there are others, but I was so caught up in your list that I lost my way, lol.

[derby378]

14. And outlaw the use of rBST in all milk in America

Either organic milk or no milk at all.

[Katherine Brengle]

19. right! i think we should just outlaw milk altogether, but that's just me,

lol.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

22. I'm with you. Cow's milk is great for calves. Not humans.

process it, make cheese from it, fine, but as the major liquid provided to kids, which is adulterated with antibiotics, additives and crap?
you are so right.
frankly, water is better.

[Katherine Brengle]

24. mm hmm, although we disagree about cheese, lol--

i find it just as repulsive as milk, but different strokes i guess.

my daughter only drinks soy milk and juice, and she's perfectly healthy :).

[ChairmanAgnostic]

26. for myself, I can't stomach milch, but fermented and bacterial versions,

I do enjoy. Like women, the more mature, the tastier, with more bite and much more flavorful they are. Most things (except our administration) get better with age.


Then again, I think that potato-based soup, grape-based sauce, and malt-based liquids are god's gift - and I'm an atheist! (Vodka, cognac and wine, and scotch)

[derby378]

28. Uh, hello?

Organic milk doesn't have any additives, antibiotics, or synthetic hormones. That's what makes it "organic."

[Roon]

10. Pardon Bush

Just so he doesn't get executed.

[El Supremo]

11. Ban the sale of weapons to any foreign country.

[jschurchin]

12. Release all records and information......

concerning, in any way, the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr.

2) Most important of all, all records and information concerning the events of September 11th 2001, that is now in federal custody.

[El Supremo]

15. Stop the death penalty.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

16. YES!, and damn YES!

rehab? education? eradication of dismal poverty? If the richest country in the world won't do that, how can we ever say we are civilized?
Great point!

[El Supremo]

17. Gradually cut of the importation of oil.

This will force people to buy electric, hydrogen or hybrid cars.

[Mend]

18. nationalize all pharmaceutical companies and have universal

health insurance. Do a real and exhaustive study on the role of mercury and other heavy metals as the cause of autism and other mental illnesses. (I am a doctor so I am interested in medical things.)

[verse18]

20. Equal and Quality Education for every child.

[aquamarina]

21. Wish List

1. Reinstate the Fairness Doctrine
2. Strip Corporations of their "Person" status.
3. Institute publicly funded elections - no private money period.
4. Eliminate the Electoral College.
5. Make federal elections a national holiday.
6. Design and implement a ballot counting machine that actually works - Scantron comes to mind.
7. Retract all "executive orders" or "signing statements" that were signed by Bush.
8. Set new budget priorities that actually help the citizens of America starting with universal healthcare for all.
9. Reinstate the line separating church and state.
10. Imprison for life Bush, Cheney, Rummy, Condi, Rove, and Libby, for crimes against the US Constitution.
11. Outlaw any legislation that discriminates against women, minorities, gays/lesbians etc.
12. Reaffirm the right to privacy as stated in the Constitution.
13. Make Judge Roberts, Scalito, Janice Rogers Brown, and Priscilla Owens re-do their confirmation hearings.
14. And my dream wish - make Haliburton, Kellogg Brown & Root, Bechtel and the rest of the the corporations who have profited so nicely off the War in Iraq pay for the reconstruction out of their own profits and they can employ all the Bushita koolaid drinkers who thought the war was such a good idea - starting with Limpballs, Hannity, Coulter, and Falafal Guy.

[ellenfl]

27. stop all subsidies to corporations that

outsource and offshore. approve subsidies/tax breaks for socially-conscious corps only.

ellen fl

[Jeebo]

23. Const. amendment outlawing gerrymandering...

I know the constitutional amendment process bypasses the executive branch altogether, it's completely a legislative process. I would love to see one that defines strict and unambiguous mathematical or geometric formulae for the method of drawing congressional districts, so that it will forever be impossible to gerrymander them. The way our system works now, it's not the voters who elect the House, it's the party in power that controls this by the way congressional districts are drawn. This power belongs only in the hands of the people.

29. Here's a personal vendetta:

Outlaw all toxic lawn care chemicals that people use to have an unbroken green carpet in their yards (not to mention golf courses!) instead of a natural variety of species. Don't like dandelions on your lawn? Tough. Protection of the groundwater and the food chain, not to mention avoidance of preventable cancers, is a little more important. Besides, change your thinking a little and the non-grass plants are just as pretty, and often nutritious and useful as medicines.

Just a personal peeve there.

Of course, that's a minor wish. I'd hope for much more all-inclusive and sweeping environmental protection and endangered species legislation.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

30. a great idea. That stuff runs off, gets in the ground water, and guess

what we then drink.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

31. I just realized something. When we win in '08, (not if), we have a

hell of a lot to fix in the country. The tasks are growing more difficult each day.

What I don't understand is if we can see what truly needs to be done so clearly, where the hell are the self-described bLEADERS of the Democratic party?

[Tsiyu]

32. Invest in alternative fuels and technologies

Begin to convert communities - through block grants - into actual communities. Sidewalks, gathering spaces, educational opportunities, community gardening and recycling....blah blah blah
