Outside Of Just Generally Winning The Election, What's The Most Important Issue For You?

[THUNDER HANDS]

If you had to pick just one, what would top your list of most pressing issues in your life right now?

[MrCoffee]

1. The Numero Uno big-ticket item for me is

restoration of the proper scope and authority of the Office of the President.


Everything follows from that.

[THUNDER HANDS]

3. which is why you're supporting Mercer

it's all so clear now. :)

[MrCoffee]

7. It's all there in his platform

"1. The United States Federal Congress has encouraged me to want to become President of the United States so that I can do what the President of the United States of America is supposed to do"

2. I have more than one issue.

Some listed above. But I keep thinking about Justice John Paul Stevens. He can't hang on too much longer. We can't afford another Republican win because Supreme court appointments can affect our lives for DECADES.

[Vincardog]

4. Where is wrestling control of our government from the Parasitic Corporations? How about

returning our government to control of the and the benefit of the people?

[THUNDER HANDS]

5. is that an issue?

actually, it seems more like a judicial issue than a legislative one.

[Vincardog]

9. Do you think the same SCOTUS that forced jr on us is going to offer any relief? Dream on

[THUNDER HANDS]

12. no, i'm just saying

that the entrenched power of corporations dates back centuries, not just decades.

[Vincardog]

19. Remember FDR? Remember the NEw Deal? They were put in check. That is how we

managed to build the prosperous second half to the 20'th century. It was the answer to the "Conservative" policies that caused the last great depression.

[Onlooker]

6. The Supreme Court

The Court is setting back civil rights, workers rights, environmental protection, and so on. It must be stopped. And liberal Justice Stevens is ancient, well into his 80s.

[Lucinda]

10. SCOTUS Is my top choice too...because the repercussions could last for decades.

[Adsos Letter]

8. Other= SCOTUS ... that's the key...

[Afje]

11. Iraq

The cost of the Iraq war is prohibiting that anything else is getting done in America. Which was probably the whole point of the war.

[Lucinda]

13. Great question Magic Rat! K&R

[Fresh_Start]

14. Making government work for the people instead of the corporations

because as long as corporate interests are a higher priority
we are not fixing environment, healthcare, education, labor, tax code, etc

[GreenArrow]

15. other. The items listed in your poll

aren't independent and self-existent. They are interconnected.

[THUNDER HANDS]

18. well, not all of them

I don't think gay rights are connected to the environment or, say, jobs are connected to the war in Iraq.

[GreenArrow]

24. the connections need not be obvious

.

[dorkulon]

16. Public financing of electoral campaigns. The issue to fix all issues.

As it is, electoral campaigns in this country are a legalized system of bribery. Nothing gets fixed before this gets fixed.

[Big Blue Marble]

17. Returning our government to a representative democracy.

When the government is responsive to its people instead of special interests it serves the best interests of the country.
The most important way to get there is pubic funding of campaigns.

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

20. I voted other, for all of the above.

short of bringing down the government peaceably.

[all.of.me]

21. energy n/t

[Kucinich4America]

22. Ending the last 28 years of disastrous corporatism

including the illusion that "our" corporatists are better than "their" corporatists.

"All of the above" are direct or indirect results of the corporatist agenda.

[Mother Of Four]

23. All you have to do is read my sig pic

=========V I voted other because theres a few that are equally important

[11 Bravo]

25. Other: SCOTUS, SCOTUS, SCOTUS!

[Fire Walk With Me]

26. Impeachment and prosecution. It leads to the start of solutions for the other issues.

[judaspriestess]

27. the main issue for me is the overall economy

and my second is Education. We really need to start investing in better education for this country. We need a strong infrastructure and education is at its core.
