I'm gonna go the cheap-n-easy route here :-) Because I CAN. I'm going to take what others have said already and modify them (if I see a need) a little bit. Credits too rak, empty, web and video :-)

The War in Iraq - Increase troop levels to about 200K and fucking crush skulls for another TWO years. Get ALL media out of there and let the military do what the military does. Murder murderers. After we get done killing the terrorist/insurgents/murderers the IDF takes over and secures the area so their is no backfilling. If they fuck that up then they're screwed. We leave and they can go back to killing each other forever and clean THEMSELVES up with endless genocide.

Illegal Immigration - After the year of carnage in Iraq ......mobilize the NG, and deport ALL those that are illegal. Every single rotten ONE of them. Then tighten the border and streamline immigration processes and acceptance but maintain the fact that no one illegal gets in the country anymore and NO free loads ever again. A country that wants to survive, cannot ALLOW itself to be invaded by hoardes of people from foreign nations no matter HOW one twists it to make it seem "logical" and "healthy". A Guest Worker Program would be up for discussion so long as the workers in question apply outside of the United States (yes, that includes those already here). Up for discussion AFTER we've cleaned the CURRENT mess we've created for ourselves.

Social Security - No change, IMO this is an issue you can not win on, I myself feel I will get jack shit when I'm of age (am 39 now (me to)) and I think most in my age bracket have that idea in their minds (yup, FDR's "new - socialist - deal". It's going to kill itself as most socialist deals DO). Take care of those now and worry about the short fall later (shitty attitude but this one is too much of an issue that would take away from the important shit). It's too early to try to change it. Until it REALLY breaks beyond repair, people won't accept any fiddling with it IMO.

Public Education - I believe this is an area with which the United States must always leave room with adequate funding. However, if children are not raised to value education, there is little that the government can do to curb it. The problems in education lie on the shoulders of society. Which brings up our degrading society. Can ANYTHING be done to slow, or even reverse this process ? Maybe do something to bring attention to the public, the many different aspects of, what looks like a society in the beginning stages of decline and get everyone thinking about what we all can do to slow or reverse it.

Gay Marriage - Sign a bill into law for Civil Unions nation wide for alternative marriages. Marriage is sacred to 60% + of the USA thus the majority doenst want gay marriage.......BUT....everyone deserves the right to have the benefits and after death benefits of a relationship. Its a compromise, one I doubt the Gay/Lesbian community would accept for its more of an acceptance thing for them than a legal thing. Civil Unions gives them what they need and makes this issue so trivial it will go the fuck away.

Abortion - NO Change.....AM pro Choice even though i think Abortion is murder, a copout and fucking abhorant....its not my business Roe VS Wade stays in effect

Universal healthcare - I am not for Government regulated Universal Healthcare. A persons has the right to life, and with such a right comes the responsibility to that life. Just as Pro-Choice advocates call for "the right for a person to control their body", they should hold themselves to the same standard WRT their own personal healthcare and/or medical expenses. That means, if you smoke two packs a day and go binge drinking every weekend, don't ask me to foot the bill for your Chronic Liver Failure and Emphysema.

Environmental Policy - A packaging waste reduction policy of working with companies to arrive at a standard of product packaging material that makes recycling easier and reduces packaging waste including everything from Electronics stores to the Supermarket. This would also deal with Junk Mail in regards to discouraging mailing of AOL CDs or similiar things that are harder to recycle then paper waste. The ideal result would be that most of what gets picked up on the curbside is being recycled instead of going into landfills. More research to green technology. Have heard that current funding levels are a joke. Would try to find ways to make it cheaper to use home solar panels.

Minimum Wage - Let the states determine minimum wage.
