• raising the minimum wage

• requiring pay-as-you-go budget rules
• implementing the 9/11 Commission's recommendations
• allowing for stem cell research
• fixing Medicare Part D
• reducing student loan interest rates for college
• cutting the ties between lobbyists and legislation
• ending subsidies for for big oil to fund renewable energy
