Roll executive power back at least to how it was pre-9/11, overturn Citizen's United, and make drastic cuts to the military in order to invest in communities and improve people's material conditions.

let's not forget about probably the most important part- punish these people so severely that not a soul will ever consider doing this shit ever again.

Said investment in communities also needs to involve a significant improvement to our education system.
