1. scan the WH for bugs
after which, having the Bush cabal arrested for war crimes and shipping them off to the Hague would be a great start.

5. Have his Attorney General open an investigation into the Bush Administration
Check the super secret Energy Policy.

Get the facts on the wiretapping.

Get the facts on torture.

Get the facts on outing a covert CIA agent during a time of war.

Get the facts on the war and out the lies.

Press charges against all who broke the law, and expose their dirty underwear for what it is.

Break for lunch.

Set about ending the war.

6. Genocide in Sudan.
Get aid and protection to the camps. Start there. Hold a UN summit IMMEDIATELY about the situation. Find a way to disarm the Janjaweed.

This tragedy has got to stop and we're the ones to do it. It would go a long way to showing the world what America is REALLY about.

8. Hmmm, where to begin?
1. Restore Habues Corpus - restore the Constitution
2. Dump the Patriout Act
3. Legally go after Bush and Co.
4. Get OUT of Iraq (and issue an apology)
5. Get Bin Ladin once and for all
6. Put in oversights on the banking industry - punish those greedy assholes who broke our ecomomy and took billions in bonuses.

Can't think of anything else at the moment....it's been a long night :)

There so much that needs fixing, but in my mind it comes down to 2 key issues!
