1. Everything has to be investigated from 9-11 to response to Katrina to the real numbers as opposed to what comes out of this administration. No more phony numbers from NCLB.
2. No more non-related amendments to bills, including earmarks. No more book length bills like the Patriot Act. Also, publicize when GW makes one of his "signing statements".
3. AMT - Noone making less than one million dollars a year should have to pay this.
4. Examine how well faith-based services are doing. Make sure they are doing their "jobs" without indoctrinating their "clients".
5. Make rules on ethics for the Mark Foley's in Congress, whether they have an R or a D after their name. Same with money laundering, bribes and other transgressions Congress folk maybe be doing wrong.
6. Fund VA and find out just how many of our soldiers have been seriously wounded. (lost sight, lost limbs, disfiguration, brain injuries, etc)
7. Do an accounting of the US economy. I am afraid Iraq is doing to the US what Afghanistan did to the USSR.
8. Fix No Child Left Behind and the Medicare Drug Benefit. Don't forget the Patriot Act.
9. Put tarifs on any company that moves jobs or headquarters in other countries for tax reasons. American companies, whether international or not, need to do their fair share.
10. When Congress does something that can be spun as looney left, send spokespeople in the know out to do TV, radio, and press interviews. Keep framing issues instead of being on the defensive.
Also, John Dean's idea is interesting...
