Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (ah, that was fun to write) has put forward a "hundred hour plan" for the first weeks of Democratic control of the house.  During the first hundred hours, Democrats will:

• Raise the minimum wage.

• Put in place an ethics plan that "breaks the link" between lobbyists and legislation.  

• Protect the nation by implementing the recommendations of the independent 9/11 Commission.

• Eliminate the clause that prohibits the government for bargaining over drug prices.

• Promote stem cell research.

• Cut interest rates for student loans.

• Roll back subsidies for oil companies.

• Protect Social Security.

It's a good start, and if we do this, it will show not only Democrats, but Independents and Republicans that this congress puts the people first.  However, if you don't mind, Madam Speaker, I have some suggestions for the first hundred hours... and the second.
