1. END THE WAR.

4. OPEN OUR BORDERS TO MEXICO.
5. PROVIDE SWIFT MULTINATIONAL, BORDERLESS PUNISHMENT FOR RAPE.

Bring the troops home--all of them. Make global poverty history. Revoke NAFTA. Establish single-payor, non profit health care for every American. Replace free trade with fair trade. Leave moral issues in church and not in legislation. Fight global warming with everything we've got. Maintain a balanced budget and repay the national debt. Forgive debts of third world countries.
