1. Should require that IT professionals be licensed to practice

   This will ensure quality of the profession as the broad scope of IT services is always evolving. In addition, IT activities that are exempt today, may eventually shift into a practice area like research and development which will require more expertise.
   
   Secondly, it will restrict the amount of individuals who can work in the field and encourage competence, dedication and integrity which are highly needed especially in areas like IT security. We cannot discount the fact that IT security plays a huge role in public safety with heightened public attention towards issues like identity theft.
   And finally, these professionals must adapt to a rapidly changing workplace-restructuring, downsizing, outsourcing, and privatization. And licensure will help them transition easily to other positions.

2. Equal rights for everyone - gay, straight, black, or white

   This is 2008 and it's time to respect everyone as the humans that they are -- the human beings with wants, needs, hope and dreams just like you. We as a nation and as humans must recognize the importance or equality under the law.

   Woman can vote, we have an African American president, it is time that we as a country stood up for the rights of homosexuals.

   Desegregation might never have happened if African-Americans had been forced to win their human rights through referendum. History tells us you can't protect minority rights through majority vote; minorities are, by definition, unpopular. That's why civil rights need institutional legal protections that can't be undermined by populist backlash.

3. Make software companies liable for security flaws

   As suggested by Bruce Schneier, security will not be taken seriously by software companies until it is in their economic interests.

4. Chief TECHNOLOGY officer? Who gives a shit.

   Seriously. Who gives a shit, we have bigger things to worry about. The Commander in Chief will have much more of an active role in any of this than a CTO, who can't veto bills, or legislate... LAME.

5. Make early voting and absentee voting easier

   As showed in this election, many Americans would prefer to vote earlier than election day, or vote via the mail, than to turn out on election day due to other obligations such as work. While many states already have absentee voting, some swing states such as virginia did not have absentee or allowed early voting and it disenfranchised many voters who could not take that time off to vote. With this being said, all states should have early voting set up 1-2 weeks before elections at easily accessable public locations so people who want to vote earlier when election day is not on a week day can do so.

   Absentee ballots should also go out in the mail 3 weeks before election day with a voters guide so election votes can be tallied faster, and thus make the results and jobs easier for election officials.

   Also if possible, make it so that when you apply and recieve for your drivers license (when you turn 18 of course), that it automatically makes you eligible to vote if you are a U.S citizen. (This makes id theft harder, as well as makes it so that voter fraud is that much harder)

9. find a way for Obama to keep his Blackberry

   Seriously, we're in the year 2008 and we can't get a secure email device for the PRESIDENT? That's so antiquated it's ridiculous. Sort it out and get him whatever he needs to do his job, and anyone in Congress for that matter.

11. Automate the transportation system.

    The transportation system in the United States is a nightmare. It causes people more grief than anything other than the health care industry.

    It is not unrealistic to think that more than 50% of urban-metro transportation could be automated within 20 years.

    Doing this would save countless lives, improve quality of life dramatically, and make much more efficient use of energy.

15. National Science Standards for Schools

    Almost every developed country on this planet has adopted national science standards for their public education system. These standards are typically set by a group of scientists and educators to avoid the politicized process that takes place in many states (for example in Texas these days). The United States has fallen behind in our science literacy and we need to promote better science in our education system.

17. CTO by consistent decision criteria based on Obama priority

    Lead by establishing consistient decision making criteria to be used by CTO decision makers (and by reviewers of the decisions - quality/improvement). The criteria should be based on Obama Policy & priorities, enabling consistent and sustainable decision making for Technology initiatives in support of, and directly porportional to Mr. Omaba's Policy goals and Priorities. If the CTO is able to collaborate with Mr. Obama to establish such criteria, they could be used to create transparency in the process, increase participation, and in effect empower "the franchising of Mr. Obama's priorities" - so greater collaboration is possible, yet Mr. Obama's ability to Navigate is maintained. The ripple effects of the consistent decision making could work like reinforcing waves to magnify the effect toward Mr. Obama's prioritized direction. Feedback, growth & improvement would be built in and create the opportunity to move toward cause==>effect==>cause type leadership & management. :-) Thanks for listening !

18. Completely re-invent the educational system

    For example:

    With the advent of the Internet, there is no longer any need to make large numbers of kids converge on factory-like buildings.

    Instead, each neighborhood can have several learning resource centers, manned by staff that are trained to help students of all ages connect with the teachers and resources they need to learn. Some of which are local, and some of which may be on the other side of the planet.

    Many resource centers can be housed in residential buildings, helping to create an increased demand for homes as a bonus. This will increase their value and restore lost equity.

    Additional learning centers can be located at places of work, research centers, non-profits, performance centers, etc. Anywhere there is access to people and materials that will help the learning process.

    Teachers can be incented by receiving part of their pay and retirement income based on the long term productivty of their students. Experts in each subject area can decide on the top ten metrics for success in their field. Teachers would recieve bonuses based on the number of students who acheive these goals in their careers.

    Our old ideas about what an education consists of must change too...our children's future will be very different from our past.

19. End the occupation of the Confederate States of America

    For almost 150 years the Confederate States of America has been under occupation of the imperialist United States of America. Now as the United States grows more corrupt, imperial, and anti-Christian, it is more important than ever the South become independent. The Confederate States was founded on strong Christian morals(slavery was not the cause of the Civil War, Northern Aggression/Imperialism was). From an early age children are brainwashed into thinking all Southerners were immoral slave owners. The federalist Yankees have even tried to take our flag off of the South Carolina capitol building. The Patriot has taken away liberties guranteed to us in the Constitution, and the right to bear arms will go next. The government supports the massive mudering of baby children. Greed of the big corporations caused the economic collapse and movement of jobs over seas. Illegal immigrants stream over the border, causing an increased tax burden for southerners.

    If these flaws in the United States could be fixed, I would be proud once more to call myself a citizen of the United States. But until they are, I will keep my Confederate flag a flyin' and live or die for Dixie.
