• Regulate Corporate Social Accountability;

• Create Economic Democracy;

• Promote a more equitable distribution of wealth and income;

• Enhance Labor Standards and Conditions;

• Ensure Environmentally Sustainable Economic Activity;

• Reform national and international Financial Institutions

• Replace our current system of campaign finance--a system of legalized bribery--with the Clean Money Campaign Reform (CMCR) using public financing now in use in 4 states.
• Require Media to make available free airtime and column space equally for all candidates during the two months before an election.
• Eliminate personal and institutional Racism, Segregation, and police Brutality against all minorities in America.
• End the con games Democrats and Republicans have been playing on citizens for years, including the stealing of Social Security monies, wasting health care funds, and playing "good cop/ bad cop" with voters every election.
• Eliminate HMOs and Managed Care from the American health scene and replace them with a Comprehensive, Universal, Single-Payer, National Health Care System.
