I'm building off of others answers.

Pro-choice
Pro-gun
Pro-gay rights (up to and including gay marriage)
Fiscal Responsiblity (ie. Spend money responsibly, appropriate tax levels for our spending)
Progressive taxation
Pro Social Security Not privatized
Pro Medical care for the elderly and those who can't afford it, free.
Legalize Pot
Anti Patriot-Act
Anti DCMA
Pro Environment. (Mandated decreases in emissions for both power plants and autos. Force all point source emissions to pay into a special federal fund so the federal government can afford to hire GOVERNMENT workers to monitor company smokestacks and effluents. When a company pays for its own monitor, often there is incentive to lie about what is spewing. No to the bullshit of Clean Skies Initiative and Healthy Forest Initiative which actually destroy both's targets more.) Also dramatically increase funding for alternative fuels research and cut out almost all subsidies to fossil fuel companies. Look to the future, not the past. High environmental enforcement. Huge increases in funding to protecting the environmentl from polluters and poachers etc...
Pro Organized Labor (Now with the new Overtime rules about to kick in we will need organized labors help more than we have in decades.
Pro Military Give our servicemen better wages, especially in combat situations. Give back their veteran benefits Bush took away. Keep them from serving in pointless wars. Keep the servicemens gear up to date. Money to body armor and humvee armor, not ABM.
Strong National Defense (Hire first responders, don't fire them Huge influx of funds for port security and cargo inspections.)
Anti ABM systems
Anti-Voter fraud Mandate that all computerized voting machines produce a paper trail. Very strict regulations and policing of all districts that use computer systems for voting.
"I look forward to delivering Ohio for President Bush in 2004."
--Chairman of Diebold corp (a touchscreen company)
Anti Dealth Penalty It's not implemented right and the rest of the civilized world has already rejectd it
Education reforms no vouchers. Reform the schools, give more funding cut out the bureaucracy so the teachers can teach. Federeal laws that bar students and families from suing schools for anything other than sexual abuse and serious injuries.
Pro separation of church and stateNone of this Faith based initiative bullshit.
Free trade Free trade comes to all countries with acceptable human rights and environmental standards, it is a sliding scale downward if you don't have these things.
Pro maintain american ideals Don't prop up dictators and regimes that go against the american way of life. In fact censure them and do your best to cut them off from the entire world community. Screw if we may have some interest in dealing with them. Without sticking to american ideals, this country dies at the heart.
