A return to the environmental controls of the not too distant past

Less mercury emissions in water

Repeal of the tax cuts for the wealthy in order to reduce the deficit

A foreign policy run by grown-ups

Closing of corporate tax loopholes

More honesty in the executive branch of the government

A sound energy policy based on finding alternative methods mixed in with conservation...

13. No more government in secret, or by fiat
