I really like that one!
(Forgetting full communism for a moment) Commit 5% of the government budget to space exploration and colonisation.
(NASAs current budget is 19.3 billion U.S. Dollars or 0.486% of the total U.S. Budget, so basically times ten.)
Pretty much all the techno-utopian future technologies that might sort out our problems on earth would have to be developed to terraform other planets such as Mars. E.g climate engineering to reverse or stabilise climate change, near unlimited energy sources from solar or hydrogen power through space, genetic conservation of earths biodiversity to transport it to other planets to make them habitable, robotic engineering that could be used to build space colonies remotely or through artificial intelligence, nano technologies that turn waste and resources into useful stuff so we have an post scarcity economy etc.
however these are all expensive pipes dreams on the drawing board and unlikely to happen on their own in the private sector without major amounts of money from the government. Most of the world problems could have a technological solution (as long as we don't weaponise them and use them to create more problems: A big "if" for us to come to terms with as we mature as a species).
And even if we screw this planet up we can at least build a Space Ark.
....Or a Death Star!
"This big red button looks very reassuring. I wonder what it does?
Sorry Pluto, but You're not even a real planet! Muhahahahaha!"
Plus it's cool, would turn science into a national past time with long term commercial applications and My inner child say I want to be a Martian!

The abolishment of all physical currency in Noth America and the replacement of it by a single digital currency.

Peace be upon you.
i) Pay rights of God and God's all creation [=true Islam, and true previous revealed religions].
ii) It has been the ultimate truth.
All government operations should obey the same laws (eg, zoning, building codes, employment laws) they impose upon us.
Twilight Hue
Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
I second that. Also universal application and equal justice without prejudice regarding a person's social status, ethnic background, sex, or religious status for those that break them.
No exemptions and no favoritism regardless of a person's fame, position, and rank.
That's lame.
Mine would be the repeal of the 17th Amendment.
I think the 17th Amendment produced a ripe situation for corruption, where bribery of Senators is the best use of corruption-dollars. I don't expect the Senators to ever vote themselves out of that sweet position they are in.
They do not have to answer to the state legislators for the many unfunded mandates handed down from the federal government to the states, and states do not have sufficient representation at the federal level, IMO.

Dang it, woman.....links!
We ignoramuses demand links!
(So's we don't gotta look it up.
Interesting suggestion, btw....very geeky.)
I'm changing my law to the banning of this one.
Government can track our every move if everything is electronic.
Paranoid much?
Yes, indeedie!
I'm so sorry. You are right, I should have put a link to the wording.

(Thank you.)
