12. Provide free post high school, public education for students whose parent(s) have an annual income of less than $100,000.
13. Legalize commercial hemp, medical marijuana, and the private use of marijuana for adults, on a national level. If marijuana is safer, why are we driving people to drink?
14. Call for a new, independent investigation of 9/11 with subpoena powers. Many people still wonder how Building 7, which was not even hit by a plane, could fall almost at the speed of gravity into its own footprints at 5 pm on that tragic day. And Building 7 was not even mentioned in the initial Official 9/11 Commission Report, an investigation that was not done until two years later and then by government insiders, with an extremely limited budget. Several 9/11 Commissioners have admitted they were not given all the facts about 9/11.
15. Provide economic incentives for organic and composted, local food production in backyards and front yards, and promote food cooperatives that provide locally grown food. Require that all genetically modified foods be labeled.
16. Provide the best research and incentives to the 50 states on the best ways they can rewrite their state constitutions and possibly restructure their state governments from the bottom-up, not the top-down: from the neighborhood block club, to the precinct, township, county or city council. Each level of legislative government could make executive and judicial branch appointments. Elected legislators at each level would vote among themselves to send a legislator to the next level above it. Giving more power to the legislative branch at each level may work better than the current policy in which many individuals (if they even vote) vote a straight ticket for several races, for candidates whom they know nothing about. State legislatures, like the national legislature, can be elected using a system of proportional representation.
17. Require workplace democracy in companies that have 7 or more employees. Workers will participate in determining the company's direction, employee wages, and the selection of bosses, instead of relying solely on a Board of Directors, who are bent on making a profit for shareholders and the company's upper management.
18. Allow Americans to visit Cuba if they choose.
19. Stop the drone strikes, the Guantanamo torture prison, the abuse of the Patriot Acts and NDAA, needless NSA spying, and excessive security checks at airports.
20. Make buses and trains more affordable and available to reduce the number of cars and trucks on roads and highways.
21. Implement Single-Payer health insurance with the federal government as the single payer. This will eliminate most private, health insurance companies, which are eager to make greater profits, while offering their members increasingly less coverage and benefits.
22. Promote the Charter for Compassion, a document that transcends religious, ideological, and national differences. The Charter activates the Golden Rule around the world. Compassion asks us to go where it hurts, to enter into places of pain, to share brokenness, fear, confusion, and anguish. www.CharterForCompassion.org
23. Promote a new era of honesty, openness, transparency, trust, and voluntary vulnerability among national governments, within the United States government, and within interpersonal and business relationships. Government secrecy regarding UFOs, various assassinations, 9/11, CIA operatives, and military black-budget expenditures must come to an end.
24. Encourage the personal investigation of meditation (which does not have to be associated with any particular religion), and the scientific study of consciousness.
25. Grant statehood to the District of Columbia, so that it can rightfully have one Representative in the House of Representatives and full control over its local affairs. Currently, as the national capital, Washington, D.C, it is a federal district under direct jurisdiction of the U.S. Congress.
