1. Climate Change is a clear and present threat. We MUST act quickly and decisively to save our planet. This shouldn’t be a left or right issue. In fact, 77% of young Republicans are very concerned about climate change. We ALL will be hurt by the impending climate disaster.

2. Diversity is a strength and not a weakness. As so, we want people of all different faiths, backgrounds, and ethnicities in America. We are better for it. Yes, we need safe immigration- but we also CANNOT be cruel to those that want to be a part of our country.

3. Name-calling has no place in politics. Donald Trump lowered the level of conversations with his childish insults. We must be better and conduct ourselves like adults. Our children are watching.

4. The national debt is unsustainable. In fact, the Democratic party has been the party of fiscal responsibility, and not the Republicans. If we work together on this issue we can correct course.https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2019/jul/29/tweets/republican-presidents-democrats-contribute-deficit/ …

5. Elections must be fair. Elections must be accessible to as many Americans as possible (we want more democracy, not less). Elections must be secure from outside foreign interference.

6. Capitalism has unleashed more wealth than we could have imagined. With this wealth we have been able to accomplish so much good. Still, those that are in the top % can contribute a little more, which will allow us to invest in projects like education, healthcare, etc.

7. Artificial intelligence is becoming more and more prevalent. There is an urgent need for government regulation. On that point- we need to seriously consider and study Universal Basic Income as we will lose many jobs to AI in the coming years.

8. Legalize marijuana so we can tax and regulate it. Most states have legalized some form of marijuana. Time to make it federal. It makes sense.

9. Consider Term limits. If Congress receives an approval rating above 20% it is generally considered a success. This is an awful number. Perhaps, limiting career politicians could be a start to improving this number. We should discuss this.

10. Education is worth investing in. Community colleges should be free. Why? We believe every dollar we spend on education our youth will return to us 10X. Invest in education. It is worth it. We can help pay for trade schools as well.

11. China regularly violates human rights and we must come together with our allies to deal with this threat. Over 1 million Muslims have been imprisoned. Christians and other people of faith are hurting, too. Their treatment of Hong Kong is awful as well.https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/inside-chinese-camps-thought-detain-million-muslim-uighurs-n1062321 …

12. To the previous point- we should stick and work together with our allies to address authoritarian rulers in our world. Enough praising them like 45 does. Instead, we need to call out abuses of power when we see them- and stand up for those that can’t stand up for themselves.

17. Seek better solutions for healthcare. People shouldn’t go broke because they can’t afford treatment. We spend more on healthcare compared to other nations- and it doesn't produce better quality. We can do better. Also, the CDC should receive funding to research gun violence.
