4. Stop policing the world. Make homeland defense the priority. Bring deployed troops home except troops assigned to NATO, S. Korea, Japan (forward defense) and those involved in the global war on terror.
5. Criminal justice reform, including legalizing marijuana, decriminalizing other recreational drugs, finding alternatives to prison sentences that would include allowing defendants to remain employed, eliminating private run prisons, improving the conditions in prisons and eliminating unneeded criminal statutes.
6. Commit to a plan to eliminate the manufacture and use of gasoline burning motor vehicles in 10 to 20 years or sooner, if feasible.
7. Push a switch to sustainable energy sources, as much as possible, during the same time period. Make the US as close to energy sufficient as possible.

Cut, without discrimination, all foreign programs, intakes and policies, except economic relations on favourable terms. Put the savings into suitably targeted social welfare programs for citizens. Cut military-industrial expenditure by 50 percent. Cut elite diplomatic, security, secret service type expenditures and allowances likewise. Cease all public relations expenditure and issue the electorate a weekly audited progress report.
