Below are points of agreement behind which I think a critical mass of conservatives, libertarians, liberals, progressives and independents could all unite:
Election Reform* Institute fair and equal
ballot access criteria.
* Enact both Congressman Ron Paul's
Freedom Debate Act and Senator Herb Kohl's
Weekend Voting Act.
* Repeal both the
Federal Election Campaign Act and
Bipartisan Campaign "Reform" Act.
* Institute
instant runoff voting for Presidential, U.S. Senate, and gubernatorial elections.
* Institute
proportional representation for both U.S. House and state house elections.
* Mandate the use of
hand-counted paper ballots for
all elections.
* Require all election ballots to include a binding
NOTA option.
Monetary Reform* Put all
derivatives-infected
mega-banks through Chapter 11 bankruptcy and, in the reorganization proceedings, legally void all of their derivatives contracts.
* Liquidate all of the ill-gotten assets of criminal scam artists such as Henry Paulson and Bernard Madoff, and use the resultant proceeds to help replenish whatever retirement funds they raided.
*
Replace our current
debt-based money system with a debt-free money system, whereby all new money -- instead of being
loaned into circulation at
interest -- is
spent in at
no interest to fund both (a) the production and repair of public goods everyone can see and benefit from (e.g.,
roads and bridges) and (b) a "
National Dividend" -- all at a rate pegged by law to the general price level. (More on this
here.)
* Institute a new round of international agreements modeled on the
Bretton Woods Accords, with an aim towards replacing the current “
floating” exchange rates for national currencies with a
fixed rate that, as such, is pegged to the value of either an agreed-upon standardized price index or an agreed-upon “basket” of diverse, widely available, everyday commodities. (More on this
here.)
Foreign Policy* In view of the fact that 9/11 was an
inside job orchestrated by traitors within our own government (see
this and
this), bring an immediate end to our
imperialist,
terroristic,
hornets' nest-stirring wars of aggression, and pass the hundreds of billions in resultant tax savings onto the
bottom 90% of income earners.
* Abolish the CIA. (See
this,
this and
this.)
Civil Liberties* In view of all the
false flag terror attacks
in addition to 9/11 -- e.g., the "
underwear bomber" -- that have been orchestrated by criminal elements within the U.S. government, immediately repeal the
"Patriot" Act,
Homeland "Security" Act,
Military Commissions Act,
Presidential Directive 51, and any and all other post-9/11 police state expansion measures.
* Abolish FEMA. (See
this,
this,
this and
this.)
Drug Policy* End the
drug war, and with it all of the
corruption,
hypocrisy and police state thuggery it breeds.
Energy Policy* Use antitrust action to
break up the oil cartel.
* Educate the masses about the
manufactured myth of "peak oil."Excessive Power of Corporations* Abolish corporate personhood. (See
this and
this.)
* Abolish corporate welfare. (See
this and
this.)
National Sovereignty* Withdraw the U.S. from both
NAFTA and the
WTO.
* Enact the
American Sovereignty Restoration Act.
I have more, but I'll leave it at that for now.
