1. No war unless the U.S. is directly attacked or barring a 2/3 vote in both houses of Congress. This includes the wars that haven't actually been wars, like Afghanistan and Iraq.
2. Abolish judicial elections
3. Addition of Puerto Rico (providing they democratically allow for it) and the District of Columbia as states, with the congressional representation therein implied.
4.(This will never, ever, happen, but it's on my wishlist) Removal of the 2nd amendment.
5. Ending the death penalty.
6. Healthcare as a right.
7. Automatic registration of all citizens to vote
8. Term limits of 16 years for Supreme Court justices. In the event of a justice's death he/she is replaced by a nominee from the judiciary committee members of the party of whoever the president was who nominated the deceased justice. The replacement justice serves out the remainder of the deceased justice's term
9. Abolishing gerrymandering through impartial redistricting committees
10. Ending the standards by which treaties are U.S. law.
11. Corporate personhood is over, SuperPACs are illegal, and maximum contribution to a political campaign is $100 for the primary, and $100 for the general election. Every citizen gets a $100 tax credit for political donations, like they have in Oregon.
12. Minimum mandatory tax rate of 70% on marginal tax rates.
13. Maximum wages, although what amount I can't be certain of off the top of my head.
14. Abolition of the electoral college.
15. Abolish caucuses in primary elections, have mail in ballots in both the primaries and general in all states.
16. Mandatory voting in general election with a penalty of a small fine.
17. Instant-runoff voting in all elections, both statewide and federal.
