  1. END CORRUPTION; AND FUND THE PEOPLE, NOT THE MILITARY
    Fight and prosecute deception, fraud, corruption, and abuse of power (especially by police, military, and government officials). Improve spending on education, health, social programs, and modernizing our infrastructure by significantly reducing U.S. military spending.

  2. ACHIEVE RADICAL TRANSPARENCY AND PROSECUTE STATE CRIMES
    De-classify state secrets. Create more offices of the inspector general and ombudsman offices in more jurisdictions to root out political corruption with official authority.
