28. Implement some type of Fairness Doctrine to allow rebuttal to the non-stop right wing spew

    The right wingers get to tag-team their audiences for 16 hours a day with disingenuous right wing indoctrination. We need to break up this continuous stream of slanted, intentional inflammatory rhetoric and put some balance in the national discourse.

    It is poisonous to the political environment when a segment of the population is completely biased to the right

9. Glass-Steigel re-enacted including caps on interest rates.
A finacially secure man is a happy man, and happy people don't protest, don't hate, and aren't scared. I honestly believe there a lot of scared people who hate, protest, and sometimes even harm/kill their fellow man. I'd LOVE to see the days of Clinton when the boggest unemployment problem was the people who were unemployed really didnt want to work! Unemployment was at 3+%! People are always going to gripe about something, but those somethings could be dealt with.

15. Restore the progressive income tax, cut military spending, restore the social safety net
I know that's 3 things but they are all part of the same thing. We need to be a country that takes care of its people instead of its wealthy corporate interests.
