1. War as an instrument of international policy comes to an end. No military presence in the world, and the U.S. military never acts except in response to direct military threat from outside.

2. Kill NAFTA/CAFTA in favor of fair trade agreements based on environmental and labor standards.

3. Universal, single-payer, not-for-profit, comprehensive health care

4. Civil Liberties

5. An updated version of the fairness doctrine to cover satellite, cable, and all other media.

6. Updated, stronger anti-trust laws

7. De-privatize, re-regulate. Everything.

8. End NCLB, all high-stakes testing, and the "standards and accountability movement" in public education.

9. Election reform: campaigns 100% publicly funded with no outside campaigning allowed; no polling; equal NEUTRAL media time for all; hand-counted paper ballots; IRV; no corporate media debates, but real debates where all candidates answer all of the substantive questions, and get equal talk time; and, in the case of the presidential primary, no caucuses, and one national counting day for all primary votes, no matter when cast.

10. Universal public preschool - trade school or college.
