This especially the federal reserve

- The very first thing I would do would be to pass REAL universal health care.  People could choose private insurance companies for their insurance if they wanted to, but everyone would be covered.  I would sign a law that would put limits on how much hospitals and doctors were allowed to charge for medical expenses.  There is no reason why someone should go bankrupt for going to the emergency room. 

- Education, for the most part, would be centralized.  This would go for school funding as well.  If schools do not have the resources needed to teach the children, the government should supplement it so they at LEAST have up-to-date learning materials and equipment to succeed.

- I would ban the teaching of creationism in public schools.  Students need to compete with students from other countries and teaching creationism just takes away from studies that could help them compete.

- I would raise taxes on the rich.  Most likely, I would reinstate tax rates from the 90s...possibly higher.

- I would end tax breaks for companies that have moved jobs overseas and place high tariffs on products that have been made overseas by these companies to force them to come back to the United States.

- No more privatized prisons. 

- Decriminalize drug use and legalize marijuana and LSD.

- Abolish racial profiling.

- Truly make a system where suspects are tried by their peers in the case of African Americans.  Since a lot of whites can't be trusted to sentence black people fairly, black people should have the right to take care of it ourselves.

- I would make it a federal crime for states to discriminate against who should run for elections.  Some southern states refuse to allow atheists to run for office. 

- Repeal the Patriot Act.

- Repeal NDAA.

- Sign an Anti-Police Brutality Act that would take away police power to just get away with whatever they want. 

- Do more to protect the environment, including harsher penalties for companies that do not meet environmental standards while in operation.

- Legalize euthanasia.

- Sign a federal law for gay rights so that they can marry, pass property on to their loved ones when they die, visit them in hospitals, raise children with their loved one, extend health care and inheritances to their loved ones.

- Encourage states to go through their state laws and strike any archaic laws that are no longer enforced.

- Repeal Voter ID requirements.
