What would you do with two months to change the direction of the country? |
|
And what are you doing now?

1. If I could do anything? Paper based instant runoff voting. |

Most significant change anyone could do.

5. Publicly funded elections. |

Period. End of story. Get rid of PACs, free tv air times, open debates.

8. 1. Repeal all the Bush tax cuts |
|
2. Withdraw the troops from Iraq as fast as possible
3. Announce a long-term plan for meeting the domestic needs that have been deferred and/or ignored since the ascendancy of Ronald Reagan

This thread is about what you will do with the next two months before the election, not what you would do if you had some fantastical amount of power. Think about what you will do for the next two months, from where you are right now, rather than daydream.

It doesn't specify "before the election." It asks only what one would do with two months to change the course of the country.
Actually, a variant of my first response still stands: Come up with a concise and clearly worded platform (no policy wonk words or phrases) that speaks to the actual needs of this country and not to what the Beltway "experts" think the rubes want.
