LET'S VOTE!

What do Americans want?

Television shows manage to have online and phone polling. Why don't we? I don't know how to do this but what if someone opened a polling web site where every person in America got 100 votes and was able to distribute those 100 points in any way they wanted over a list of, say, fifty topics.

Let's have a vote OUTSIDE their crooked election. Let's hear what Americans care about, worry about, prioritize. You could put all 100 points on 'war and peace' or give fifty points to two causes -- or two points to every topic, whatever you wanted to do.

It doesn't matter if you're 'for' or 'against', doesn't matter what your position is -- but that is where you think the country needs to have the discussion or allocate the resources.

Here are 42 topics. What others could we add?

the federal reserve

war and peace

russia

the role and powers of the executive and cabinet

jobs

energy policy including fracking

pay equity

wealth inequality

abortion

scotus

guns

military spending

healthcare including mental health

veterans

education

the media

money and the legislative branch

infrastructure

taxes

free trade agreements

policing, surveillance and civil rights

election integrity

sentencing reform and the judiciary

autism

whistleblowers and government transparency

homelessness

drug policy

wall street

national lands

children's rights including daycare

cia, nsa, fbi, epa, dea and the public welfare

animal rights

9/11

crime

poverty

corporate limits and rights

social security

national lands

adult education

immigration

mass incarceration

climate change

I would like to know what Americans think, rather than being told or, more frequently, NOT told what America is doing in my name.
