President Apuuli's Priorities have not changed (but one added)

Here are my priorities, and how Obama is doing on them so far.


1. An end to pre-emptive or offensive military strikes, bring ALL troops on foreign soil home, not just those in Iraq

2. Reduced, then eliminated, nuclear stockpile

3. Fully funded and truly equal education for all

4. Fully funded and equal health care for all

5. An end to corporate and all other special interest contributions to political campaigns (i.e. limit to government support and individual contributions ONLY)

6. A living wage

7. Salary caps (does anyone really need, or deserve, to earn more than 500K?) THANK YOU OBAMA FOR BRINGING ATTENTION TO THIS ON WALL STREET!

8. Environmental consciousness, renewable energy, an end to oil use (not just oil dependence) NOW, I CAN SEE THIS REALLY HAPPENING, THANKS OBAMA!

9. Truly equal human rights, with all gender, racial/ethnic, religious and sexual orientation differences removed, equal marriage rights, equal pay for equal time, equal access to all that accessable to others.

10. A foreign political and economic policy that is truly fair to everyone, without subsidies protecting American interests, without robbing Africa of its natural resources, and without meddling in the political affairs of other countries.

11. Fully fund the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria

12. Fully fund Debt Forgiveness
