I resolve:

To limit my use of "Obama" in the title of diaries
To continue the struggle to improve the economy
To recognize capitalism is not the solution to every problem
To write at most one diary a day no matter what DK allows
To work to fix health care and move towards single payer health care
To fix laws governing financial institutions
To keep social security, Medicare, and Medicaid
To build a better more caring society
To improve education through a number of different means including but not limited to more pay for teachers; smaller class room sizes; more time for teachers to prepare classes; national guidelines; reducing standardized testing; focusing on the students and their needs; less administrative overhead; ridding us of no child left behind and race to the top; using information technology to deliver better more accurate text books; . .

To fight for dramatically lower defense spending
To fight for birth management including but not limited to providing free birth control (condoms, pills, shots, vasectomies, tubal ligation, . . .) for all who want it; paying men to have vasectomies; paying women a whole lot of money to have tubal ligation
