Gay Marriage, Health Care for All, A Woman's Right to Choose. And end to system enforced racism. The only thing I want heavily regulated is big business and finance. It's time to get money back into working class hands.

The war on drugs has been catastrophic to civil liberties, particularly the 4th Amendment. And it feeds a prison-industrial complex.
Getting the undocumented onto the path to citizenship will make them less exploitable as a labor source. The right wants them to stay undocumented - it makes them easy to exploit and oppress, while still using them for cheap labor. Bringing these people into our country would increase domestic demand and taxes.
