To do list - Nov 7, 2012:

1) Reinstate Fairness Doctrine
2) Overturn Citizens United
3) Bill that would enforce voting rights on the federal level, states no longer have control

and then:
4) Tax cuts for middle class, increase for those making $500k and up in profit
5) Figure out how to give all kids a great education

Those are three things that I consider somewhat urgent if people want this country to survive another 50 years. What else should be addressed ASAP when Obama gets re-elected?

I'm not knocking them as worthy, just saying that 2,3, and 4 can't be done by a lone executive
