1 : Open discussion on full electoral reform
2 : End the uncertainty and ridiculousness of Govt shutdowns.
3 : Full support and tax breaks and backing to small businesses in deprived areas
4 : Make online retailers accountable for proper taxation and plough the money back into community businesses
5 : Remove the Trump tax breaks to his cronies and give it to the workers.

All he has to do is define an "Opportunity Zone" somewhere that Uday or Qusay want to build, and the Trumps profit.

He can designate the Hamptons as depressed, and rake in development tax breaks.

Right now, aren't social security funds kept in a general fund and used for other things? If so, wouldn't it be a good idea to protect them and make the government budget its expenses without that? Also, can we undo what was done to the post office to try to drive it into insolvency (pension fund).

Yes. They aren't in the general fund, but Congress borrows from Social Security. Stop that and remove the cap on FICA and Medicaid tax.

People deserve to retire with dignity. Social Security as it is doesn't allow a dignified existence for too many who collect it.

Then, in most places, you might be able to live.

San Francisco, Manhattan, etc, forget it.

Right now no Social Security tax is paid on income over $115K or so. Remove that cap and Social Security has way more coming in.

In fact, I want to see the age to collect Social Security lowered. As it is now, too many are basically working until you're ready to drop dead.

That would be all we would need to stabilize social security long as we keep them from using it for other things

Unless there is ratification by 2/3 of the house and senate.

That is how we will afford to pay for the other things

Gives the president power to respond to a global emergency but not wage war alone. War authorization should be returned to Congress where the Constitution says it belongs.

In cases of disagreement over funding of the budget, the current budget continues until a new one as ratified

But is this really a key point that can be made into an effective sound byte?

but it seems to me that overall voter disenfranchisement is a major issue for younger voters and their votes are crucial. One person, one vote kind of emcompasses paper ballots and dark money in campaigns.

I have some pie in the sky stuff to fix our federal election system, but that's an excellent start.

How about a national voting Holiday too?

Kids are still in school, but the snow should be done for nearly everybody and the blazing hot weather is still in the future. No holidays around there, so it won't be lost to people trying to sneak in a 3-day weekend.

If not, how are you working to get your points on the next one?

2. # of Senators per state based on population or another equitable calculation;
3. ? years of Tax returns provided by every candidate for President, Congress and Supreme Court;
4. Infrastructure;
5. Term Limits for Supreme Court Justices

These are in addition to most points covered in OP and responses.

I have nothing.

Also pass the ERA. WAAAAY overdue. I want the R’s to tell women why we shouldn’t have equal rights guaranteed by the Constitution, I’m all ears.

All of the above while focusing on Green Jobs, Green Industry, a remade economy. A call to action, a moonshot if you will. We have to change everything about how we live. End subsidies for extractive industries, finally do infrastructure and build in new capabilities (like solar roads for example); promote mass transit, put everyone to work building a better future. And soak the rich to pay for it (we can raid the defense budget too...so that it is used to defend us from actual dangers instead of creating them).

And all of the things mentioned in the OP.

education and childcare.

These are the issue most voters care about.

...building sustainable power and communications grids, cleaning up the water supply, and replacing the toxic, crumbling, outdated transportation and waste management systems.

And building schools. Lots and lots and lots of SMALL schools. LOTS of them.

wistfully,

stiff mandatory sentencing for voter suppression, ballot tampering, etc., and make voting easier, and have a paper trail.

And-- nationwide standards for all candidates for any federal office that would begin with a public funding, a shorter campaign season, same day primaries in every state, eliminate party caucuses. Demand truth and ethics from candidates and their PACs, eliminate anonymous political ads. Primary funding sources must be prominently displayed.

If you, your parent, or grandparent was "Negro" on the 1940, 50, or 60 census for 36 years.

The Reparation for Jim Crow, Red Lining, being shut out of the original New Deal Tax Break.

It has an automatic sunset built in. Example - my dad was born in 41 and died in 2011.

I was born in 1973 and don't have a child. Sunsets at death - as I have A.S. So won't live that long.

This limits the Irish slave and Italian nonsense - in 1950 they benefited from Jim Crow.

Limits the "well how do we know who was slave?" nonsense.

If you are the child of Haitian immigrants in the 1980's - blocked. Came here from Africa in 1998 - blocked out.

There's a pretty good chance that if you fall in those strict Census qualifications - you are eligible.

It's simple - the Census was used as tool of sick oppression against my grandparents (born at the turn of the last century), they paid all of these taxes and got not a Fucking thing out of it, and even had a son home on leave in Talladega Alabama in 1964 with a purple heart and Captain's bars and it was too dangerous for him to vote.

So - it's our turn.

1932-1968 - When the New Deal was a raw deal for black Americans.
