OK President Pat, I'll go first.

Fiscal policy? I'd like to see some budgetary restraint... I'd like to see more investment in small business, and less in corporate welfare and giveaways... I'd like to see the Oil Exemption go away... I'd like to see more of a commitment to anti-trust enforcement. I'd like to see, instead of bloated and unnecessary weapons systems, more investment in US infrastructure. I'd like to see more money invested, rather than thrown away on whimsical military adventuring. Foreign policy? I'd like to see the US rejoin the civilised world, to recognise that Earth is not our dominion alone. I'd like to see efforts made to strengthen international treaties and relationships, rather than abrogating them. I'd like to see us follow a consistent policy regarding human rights abuse, rather than just bringing it up when we want to punish somebody. Environmental policy? I'd like to see people other than corporate lobbyists in charge of the EPA. I'd like to see an EPA able to establish and enforce codes as strong as our building codes. Energy policy? I'd like to see a massive and concerted effort to free our selves from petroleum. I'd like to see millions of Americans employed in that struggle. Health care policy? I don't know enough to comment... Kravitz? Justice policy? I'd like to see all the Amendments defended as vociferously as the right to bear arms. I'd like to see white collar criminals attacked as severely as pot smokers. I'd like war-profiteering to be a life-sentence level crime. Constitutional policy? Just show it a little respect. Religious policy? Separation of church and state. Education policy? I personally like the Waldorf program myself, but really anything that will help to create a generation of independent and capable thinkers, who could help all of us get ourselves out of this bitter mess that our civilisation has gotten itself into.

Now can you show me yours?
