Abortion:
Illegal. Certain circumstances need to be looked at and decided. Some people use this option as birth control. We all have choices in life. We choose to have sexual relations one way or another. Using this to hide our actions is not moral. If there are certain situations that cuase danger then I can see the choice coming down to one person. But then and only then.
Iraq:
Stay the course. It took us 11 years to get it right (1776-1787). Making democracy isn't easy. So we didn't find WMD's, so what. A dictator is gone. One that should have been gone long ago. We now need to steer Iraq into a democracy.
Afghanistan:
Surge! Surround them everywhere.
Terrorism:
No negotiation. Keep North Korea, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Venezuela Syria on the list. And now you can add Pirates.
Gas:
Store!!!! Don't waste it.
Business:
Boycott all of the companies who took the bailouts and gave bonuses to the wreckless jerks that spent our money.
Taxes:
Flat rate. Eqquality is responsibility. No more IRS. Take 10% from income-no paperwork. Incentives for American businesses who keep jobs here.
Immigration:
Rewrite all immigration laws-including those of Europeans. Mexico is not our only problem.
Border Security:
0.05/$100 spent sales tax on all items to pay for National Guard. Any "crooked" guardsmen would pay heavy fins and imprisonment.
Line Item Veto:
No more hidden agendas by Congress. Put the blame where the blame belongs. It if doesn't fit you must quit.
Electoral College:
Revamp system by making it more proportional not winner take all. Open up for a better democracy.
Foriegn Affairs:
US first. North America second. Allies third. Democracies fourth. No dictators.
Marriage:
One man, one woman. Leave no room for interpretation for someone to marry their dog and get a tax break. Read editorial.
Term Limits:
On Senators. Ted Kennedy has been there way too long. House of Reps can keep getting elected since they are more representative of the people.
Death penalty:
Yes. Let's face it, there are some crimes that are too heinous to let go.
Stem cell:
Not from aborted babies. No cloning.
Education:
Year round schooling. Lotteries/casinos revamped to help pay for more. No school districts based on taxes. Each given according to need. Get rid of NEA.
Separation Church/State:
There is no legal grounds. 1st amendment says nothing about it. Freedom of religion was created to safeguard religous beliefs not to safeguard the government.
2nd Amendment:
Laws enforced. Outlaw certain types of guns.
Constitution:
Read it first, the interpret it.
English only:
Only in government facilitated places (schools, government offices, military bases, etc). Schools to teach ESL. Graduation only to those who proven English is necessity. Incentives for learning.
Social Security:
Raise retirement age to 68. Early retirement forfeits full payments.
Budget:
Stop all unnecessary agencies and committees wasting time and money. Need a balanced budget amendment and not the way Clinton doctored the books. Learn history and you'll see what I mean.
Welfare:
Revamp! Less payments. Food stamps not beer stamps.
Entertainment:
Regular family cable (local stations, regular networks) should be monitored and secured from tasteless shows/acts so no Janet JAckson malfunctions can happen. If it is cable that is paid for (HBO, On-demand) then it is consumer choice.
Phone calls/solicitation:
Permanent Do NOT call list.
Web sites:
Monitored for all safety reasons. All sites deemed "adult" need passes and no excuses.
Majority Rules:
We're a democracy, let it happen.
Elections:
Open up all the debates to top five candidates (parties)

Outlawed.

Keep certain areas free from development, however open some up with guaranteed cleanliness. Save the endangered species list!
