Going to repeat myself a bit but just to write everything together:
politics -
- Going too far with capital punishment, if they still keep breaking the law you drop them off in the middle of a 3rd world slum of their choice.
- You could get around this issue by making it so that lobbyists have to work through the Congressional Research Service, they present their data to them where it is then summarized and attached onto reports. In addition you make it so that only constituents have the ability to meet with their representatives in private on issues, anything else has to be public.
Politics
- Put in a length limit on all bills, introduce abbreviations for common procedural jargon, and put it all in a syntax that's easily transferable onto a public media. It should be easily read by all knowledgeable citizens on their morning commute.
- Women are under-represented in our sytem, they are ~50% of the population and less than 20% of the representatives. There are 3rd world nations who have better female representation, as such to promote equality the 2 senate seats assigned to each state should be occupied by one man and one woman.
education
- All this and make vouchers available to all parents, turning kids into a commodity which schools want to compete for and attract by having the best performance.
food
- Honestly think most of this could be solved through education (Jaime Oliver) with a few things like trans-fats and MSG being outright banned. Such local bakeries are still around in ethnic neighborhoods, just have to have a market that's aware of their benefits.
taxes
- GAH! FLAT TAX!? Fair tax, with basic necessity exemptions, and requiring a constitutional amendment in order to have an item exempt from it would be much more progressive imo.
sterilization
- Un-American, honestly think better education will make this unnecessary.
transportation
- Absolutely agree, we shouldn't be building new housing areas while others are literally decaying (Detroit)
- Also need to re-look at the building industry as a whole, currently a large number of developers design/build the building to be sold soon after construction. This philosophy makes it counterintuitive to include energy/cost saving systems which take 5+ years to pay off for themselves. In addition serious thought should be given to creating laws similar to those in Europe where buildings need to be designed to be usable for 100 years.
Immigration
- Agree, also bringing back the old seasonal worker system.
military
- Everyone should be treated exactly the same, they're adults after all. The only quality used to judge people should be their ability to complete tasks. Women should be allowed to try out for anything with the full understanding that by doing so they'll need to "butch" up and most likely loose a good deal of their femininity in the process.
- As mentioned before, mandatory service with the option of going into a public service not just military (peacecorps, firedept, police etc or an accredited private charity)
space
- AMEN BROTHA
PRISON
Agree completely, those who want to be nothing but animals should be allowed the freedom to be themselves.

I will surround myself with advisers who pass tests relating specifically to what they are advising me on. No friends or family will be hired just because they are that. If they have new ideas, different ideas, that seem to work better than my general beginnings, i will not be inflexible and will use the best path possible in forging a new, stronger america.

Add in a quota, at least 40% of the advisors need to be of another party.
