Poll question: Most important political issue to you (of these listed)
I chose universal health insurance (because I don't think health care should conflict with food, medicine, and other essentials.) Posted this in the Lounge because it's more of a survey then an in-depth discussion topic.

1. Civil rights, by the slimmest of margins
Because, without our rights, I fail to see how we can win the battle on all the other issues you listed.

3. Yes, I like all the things I mentioned..
but universal health insurance is the first thing I would work on in office. :)

2. keeping peacful relations is important, but
repealing the unPATRIOTic Act is equally as important for the same reasons: both are implemenations of tyranny and empire.

And restoring the republic in the face of these tyrants and feudal lords is the most critical task we have before us, IMO.

4. Like choosing between air and water..
but I chose 'peaceful relations' because there it's somebody else's "air" that would be under immediate and definite threat.

5. civil rights
Edited on Mon Sep-15-03 12:10 AM by saline
for me the bill of rights must be immutable and above everything else. (so rights in general which seemed to fit civil rights best)

7. At this given moment...
I'd have to go with civil rights. I'm afraid that the erosion of our rights will give way to worse scenarios.

All are vitally important, of course.
