What issues, foreign and domestic most important to you?

[eilen]

I was just thinking about the issues that matter to me

Foreign: Getting out of Iraq, rejecting and ending torture, ending any hostilities cooking with Iran,-- frankly I wish we would disentangle ourselves entirely from the Middle East and deal with issues through NATO/UN (maybe I'm naive and ill informed about it).

Domestic: Border, Food, Energy, and Currency security, Economy (which includes the globalism crap that has hogtied labor and manufacturing). Health care and Education.

My dream: The US becomes a self-reliant nation once again, able to provide itself with energy, food and manfactured goods.

My demographic: woman barely over 40.

My voting history: in general, aside from Spitzer and Clinton, I have voted against who ever is the incumbent. I wield the anti-vote. I did vote for Ron Paul in primaries even though he is republican because he was the only one categorically saying he would take our troops out immediately and actually addressed our currency issues and disbanding the WTO, GATT and NAFTA like agreements. I figured here in NY, Hillary would win (which she did).

1. War, Poverty and the Environment. n/t

3. The environment is important to me as well

but I look at it holistically in relation to everything else-- build infrasructure to support mass transit, development of green technology/energy, sane safe organic agricultural practices, etc.

4. Economy and environment.

2. Election reform, media reform, education. Without those,

all others are lost.

5. You voted FOR Clinton for US Senator? Even though....

she had a primary opponent , Jonathan Tassini, who, unlike Clinton, "categorically" advocated taking our troops out of Iraq "immediately"?

I don't quite get ya'.

7. I didn't vote for her in the primary but in the GE.

I missed the primary unfortunately. I was working 12 hour night shifts and was pretty fried.

6. For me its all the big energy complex crisis.

Its the root that has a thousand manifestations, from Iraq to Global warming to the economy staggering under the burden of $4 gas. Its time for us to change.

8. My issue is getting the degenerates of the Republican Party out of our country.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

9. Correct me if I'm wrong, but here in NY you can only vote for someone if you are registered in that

party in regard to primaries. I gather then that you're a registered Republican if you voted for Ron Paul?

10. Domestic Spying and the RAPE of the Constitution

11. Yes to getting out of Iraq and the torture thing, but the rest of your stuff sounds like

the John Birch Society.
