1. I would prefer to get rid of a lot of laws. In my opinion we have
way to many laws as it is, much less create anymore of the annoying little critters.

2. I'd make driving under the influence a felony
I'd legalize marijuana and sell it like Marlboros.

Universal health care in America would become a reality.

5. No. 1 would be universal, single-payer health care, of course.
#2-- Anti-tethering laws in all states. Illegal to leave dogs tied outside. :grr:
#3-- Mandatory spay/neuter laws. Bona fide breeders would have to have a license and submit to regular inspections.
