6. Get us the **** out of Iraq!
Followed by balancing the budget (mostly by repealing Shrub's tax cuts).

Put more money into alternative energy research and stem cell/medical research.

And just generally change the current culture from hateful, intolerant hypocrites who wear religion on their sleeve, professional success as solely defined as "I got mine, screw everyone else", and the current 'might make right' mindset WRT foreign policy.

2. Break up of the media monopolies.
If we could get back to independent media organizations we could then accomplish all of the other items listed above.

4. I have my own, which I think are more pressing....
1. Voting Machines with a verifiable paper trail.
2. Reinstatement of media rules that were erased in 1987 and 1996.

Those would be real victory. I don't think that any of those will be achieved with these "WINS".

5. All of the above - and then some.
No more tax breaks for corporations. At the local level, tax "abatement" hurts communities that don't get the businesses to move in, AND those that do. Taxes are taxes, everybody pays (commensurate with income), or nobody does.

Corporate pressure on media they own should be illegal. Freedom of the press should be just that. All of the poll options above would be more easily achieved if truth were required to be applied to all news broadcasts.

Voter Verified Paper Ballots.
