Voting Reform:
Instant Runoff elections.
Removal of "The Winner Take All" rule.
And some how make it illegal for the Electoral College voters to vote different
from the popular vote.

Alternative Fuel R&D.
Spend more money developing an Alt-fuel Transportation infrastructure.
Stop giving Oil companies Billions $ in subsidies, and use that $ to develop
a Hydrogen/electric Car industry. Or Use it to do a trade in program:
Trade your 8 cylinder for a Hybrid,electric or hydrogen car(when available).

The Deficit
Force them to be more fiscally responsible.
I would like to some how tie pay to performance for all politicians.

School vouchers/Education reform are good too.
Education reform is a good start. Give the states back their right to monitor their own schools without government interference.

Making it more affordable for students to attend good colleges where they wont have to take out 80K in student loans to get a BS or BA.....
