mikeknIf elected I will push for the following:
1. $1-2 per gallon gas tax (in addition to all current gas taxes), collected money to be used for alternate energy research.
2. Federal law making smoking illegal in all public spaces (especially bars, restaurants, casinos and sidewalks).
3. $1-2 per pack cigarette tax (in addition to all current taxes), collected money to be used for Medicare (or some other heath care program that needs it).
4. Impose an export tariff on all tobacco products.
5. Legalize marijuana, and make it subject to all of the taxes and restrictions imposed on cigarettes.
6. Term limits on congress.
7. Line item veto for the president.
8. Constitutional amendments supporting same-sex marriages and abortion. And one making the death penalty illegal.
There are probably more, but I think those will do the job.

My two cents ...
Date: 2008-05-22 07:38 pm (UTC)I like yours, even if they're unlikely to occur. Here's some things I'd like to see enacted.
1)Eliminate tax exemptions for all religious organizations. That includes eliminating Dubya's "Faith Based Initiative", which is nothing more than government subsidizing of religion. Keep religion out of government, AND govermment out of religion.
2)Voting days to be a holiday.
3)Some form of national health care. The current system is FUBAR.
4)Stop encouraging wasteful and counterproductive ethanol production by eliminating subsidies and tax breaks. Build more nuclear power plants.
