Today, just because it's today, I'm calling for the USA… [View all]

To demilitarize, decriminalize, de-crony capitalize (not a real word, but I don't give a fuck), and set a on path that achieves equality, justice and peace.

Undo the Fossil Fuel/Military-Congressional-Industrial-Complex.

Achieve racial/gender/sexual orientation equality.

Create a fair and working immigration process.

Build a fair, equitable, universally available public general social welfare system, a free, fully functional and available universal public education, disconnect profit motive from public health and refocus our economic policy to both build American infrastructure and a viable, healthy working class.

Reverse wealth inequality.

Promote peace and justice, both domestically and internationally. Become a non-violent society.

Remove religious dogma from secular public policy.

Replace the power of the banks, corporate elites and plutocratic class with the power of democracy.



Simply be a BETTER America than we have ever been.

It'll only happen through peaceful, intelligent and informed consensus.


If I missed something, feel free to add to the list.
