[Neo]

Defense
Invest in modern machinery. Ensure soldiers have proper equipment. Scale back but do not cancel funding of unproven NMDS. Avoid acting as world's police force unless fully supported by UN or if America's interests directly threatened. Rework Patriot Act and remove clause allowing people to be labeled "enemy combatants."

Animal Rights
Dozens (hundreds?) of species go extinct every day. By attempting to preserve endangered species humans may be interrupting the natural evolutionary path of the planet. Granted humans had a hand in the demise of many of those species. Every effort should be made to avoid trampling on these species unless it is necessary for the continuation of our way of life. Humans are the dominate species on the planet, and when it comes down to it it's either them or us.

Environment

Protect hospitals and clinics from lawsuits. Establish medical auditing agency for ensuring competent nursing care. Exempt nursing homes. Ignore senior citizens' cries for cheaper prescription drugs unless economically feasible. Promote "pull-the-plug" attitude for vegetables. Favor only late-term abortion ban.

Gun Control
Re-establish assault weapons ban. Oppose mandatory child-safety locks. Protect gun makers from frivolous lawsuits.

Require senior citizens to pass a driving test every time they renew their registration. Revoke licenses of those that fail and suggest they not leave the house. Increase broadcasting of "Price-Is-Right" as compensation.

Appoint Bono head of foreign relations.
