My First Day As President I Would :: Jared Ball

My first day as president I would:

   1. Pardon Leonard Peltier, Mumia Abu Jamal, Sundiata Acoli, David Gilbert and all other political prisoners.

   2. I would immediately open investigations into a properly developed "Marshall Plan" for the US which would focus on rebuilding the most needy communities based on new Federal guidelines for minimum levels of housing, healthcare and education for all. This plan would include reparations for African descendants to all communities improperly treated by this society throughout history, with special attention to Indigenous communities who have been robbed and cheated by our government for decades.

   3. I would undertake the immediate repeal NAFTA. This would be part of an initiative designed to improve the working conditions of all workers so as to eliminate concerns over immigration "legal" or "not."

   4. I would repeal the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (and free up licenses for low-power FM and increase funding to a redesigned public broadcasting community).

   5. I would seek to immediately raise the requirements and pay of those in education (pre K - 12) to rival professional athletes. By capping salaries of both athletes and team owners we could fund the proper education of all our children.

   6. I will never support legislating women's bodies. I would reject this even as an issue for discussion or debate. The debate must be redirected toward the issues women site as reasons such as, rape, poverty, disease, health care, for wanting an abortion. These are the real issues.

   7. W.E.B. DuBois not only gave up on both major parties but this entire country in part in response to this nation's and Black America's inability to break from the two-party dominance fraudulently imposed on us. Our standards must be raised so as to make clear how neither major party has offered us anything but samples of what rights we were born with and long-since owed.
