1) Make remarriage illegal. No more tax benefits for those who can't get it right the first time. If that means keeping the trousers zipped, then that'll have to do. After all, it's sacred, right? And heterosexuals are giving it a bad name with the divorce rate. Give the homos a shot.

(sarcasm intentionally implied)

2) Pull the voting records for those who voted for Bush and suspend voting rights for one cycle. (as a reminder to think when voting) Pass the bottom line costs of the Iraq quagmire to those who will publicly state that such a conflict was just.

I'd make June into Gay History Month (hey, they've got Black History Month, so it wouldn't be too far-fetched...) where children in schools would study the struggles of GLBT people and their allies across history. Kids would do projects on their favorite GLBT figure or couple, and watch movies of the Stonewall riots and Equality Riders. Pride parades would help cities all across America celebrate. Old freedom fighters would make public speeches and receive awards for their contributions to society....


Wow, what a dream...

Excellent, Mia!

I'd devote as much energy (funding) as possible into finding and perfecting renewable energy sources. I would start by legalizing hemp so that it’s hundreds if not infinite uses could be utilized, then solar, wind, running water, etc.

The ripple effect of products and services related to these industries would jump start and sustain a renewable energy economy base, thereby regaining our status as a respected superpower, free of being seen as oil mongers.

Then I'd force everyone else to be free and happy like us by offering to exchange kowledge with them. Especially of how to be economically free, and do it grass roots up so that it takes (assuming the roots do want it).

The idea of Free Fall Energy. So much of enough, not even money can contain it.

The implementation of Grace on Earth, yes that's what I'd do.

We think a hechuva lot alike. Were we separated at birth? Any part of your family from Jersey? I was just gonna come on here and say something similar.

Add to the above: distribution of vaccines, antibiotics, and other readily available in the US meds to the destitute around the world who still have limbs amputated because of little cuts that got infected, and who still get disabled and distorted bodies from polio, and other debilitating effects from easily preventable diseases. We could fund all that plus more with the income taxes that got re-distributed so that the super-super-super-super rich are paying their rightful share while the middle and lower classes no longer have to make up for the shortfall.

And of course - Make all legal and institutional discrimination against LGBTs ILLEGAL by executive order, and see that it's enforced. So that means, marriage equality, adoption rights, NO discrimination in public accomodations or state funded institutions (military anyone?).

That's a start. Wouldn't I get assassinated quickly?

Pass a federal law that prohibits federally funded adoption agency from discriminating against single and GLBT would-be parents. Because this should never happen to any family.

Hmm, protect children from being “protected against” having parents..

Good idea, ok you can be vice president.
