Won't pass the Senate. Will help Trump.

Focus on healthcare, jobs, and infrastructure which is what got us elected.

Impeachment will come when it's ripe.

Achieving free and fair elections (no more electronic voodoo machines!) is much more important. Millions have been 'purged' and millions get turned away. There is no problem with voter fraud; there is a huge problem with GOPer election fraud.

Health care is a universal need that is as important as the universal need for national defense. We don't each hire private armies; why should we each hire private health care deniers?

Everyone loses if we poison our air, water, and land while cooking the planet.

Unregulated capitalism is living hell. Minimum wages is a small regulation to impose.

1) Investigations - the Senate is not going to cooperate, so those scum need to be exposed.
2) Anti Corruption Legislation - I know it won’t pass the Senate either, but it will help us identify the enemies of America.
3) Push for changes in banking laws. Diminish the power of the big banks through tougher consumer protection and rescind the charters of the money launderers.
