My top four are based on what I know about, and then arranged in the order they appear on Billy's list.
College accessibility - Scrap tuition fees and fund it by taxing the rich. Close any possible tax loopholes.
Gay marriage - Make it legal. Simple as. If not in churches then government registry offices. What consenting adults do with each other's naughty bits has no effect, positive or negative, on society whatsoever.
Health insurance - All first world countries implement a national health care system, and fund it, once again, by taxing the rich and closing loopholes. Then use the surplus to fund health care systems in poorer countries.
Prostitution - Legalise brothels. Make them proper, legit business monitored by local councils. This would keep it behind closed doors, away from the moral minority's eyes, and reduce the murder rate. Win win.
