What's first on your agenda once the Dems are in control?
Here's top on my list:

I would love to get down to the truth regarding Don Siegelman and Sibel Edmonds. If we could come up with some incredible journalistic research it would set the standard for a new era in journalism. That's my hope.

5. Sibel Edmonds will probably still be covered up
Waxman (democrat) is helping cover it up, so I don't see it changing.

For me I'd like to see the rule of law reinstated, which ties into what you're saying. Seeing people arrested, investigated and prosecuted if they actually broke the law.

9. Something has changed.
Our eyes are open and we know now that even the Dems need to be watched. I think it's going to be harder for Waxman to help anyone cover this up.

7. Change the poverty rates
a family of three who make, combined, $18,002 are poor but if they make $18,004 they aren't???

We can't get an accurate measurement of poverty or the effectiveness of programs to address poverty with such unrealistic numbers
