This is a super cool video. I particularly like how it is framed as a "message to the next president of the United States." From GoGreenTube.

While acknowledging the contributions of religions, swear off divisive peripheral issues like abortion and gay rights. Focus instead on issues national consensus. Implement the Unified Security Budget (http://www.fpif.org/fpiftxt/4175) & Plan B 3.0 (http://www.earth-policy.org/Books/PB3/index.htm). Reaffirm Congress sole authority to declare war. Propose Biennial Budget for greater oversight. Repeal all in-effect executive orders over 1 year. Above all, apologize to UN & Iraq.
