The American Civil Liberties Union released its "Actions for Restoring America". This includes a plan for the next president in the first day, first 100 days, and first year of the administration.

Stop torture, close Guantanamo, and end extraordinary rendtions
First 100 days:
1. Warrantless spying.
2. Watch lists.

6. Real ID Act.
7. Abortion gag rule.
8. Ban all workplace discrimination against sexual minorities by the federal government and its contractors.
