What are your top three most important issues?

[Celeborn Skywalker]

What are your top three issues that you care about the most?

Mine are:

1. Withdrawal from Iraq, along with general change in US foreign policy.
2. Establishing a single payer national health care system,
3. Labor issues (Repeal NAFTA, minimum wage, etc.)

[proud2BlibKansan]

1. 1. the war 2. the war 3. the war

Seriously:

1. the war

2. NCLB

3. health care

[Greyhound]

2. #1 issue - corporate "reform".

#2 The explicit expression that our bodies (particularly women's) are ours and we alone have the right to decide what to do with it.

#1 will solve, or allow us to solve, all of the others.

#2 is needed to clarify, and preserve for all time, this inalienable right.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

3. My 3

Verifiable election results.

Ending the occupation of Iraq and redeployment.

Prosecuting the criminals in the cabal and restoring the Constitution.

[Matsubara]

4. Number one - return income tax brackets to Pre-Reagan rates.

Number two - Single-payer national health-care with a MINIMUM of courporate involvement.

Number three - repeal of NAFTA, paired with tax penalties on companies that offshore, PLUS a requirement that US companies with facilities overseas must pay at least the US minimum wage.

5. #1 Get the hell out of Iraq. #2 9/11 Truth #3 Medical Marijuana n/t

[REP]

6. Follow The Goddamn Constitution (eg, Habeus Corpus etc)

End the goddamn war

Keep George Bush the fuck out of mine.

[hang a left]

7. My first issue is government reform

I would like to see term limits. Federal financing of elections and a thorough dousing of the beltway.(With gasoline and fire if we have to)

I want a return of the Monroe Doctrine. And a dismantling of the media empires.

Through the electronic voting machines into the harbor. A national holiday for elections. All business closed!!!

[OneBlueSky]

8. 1) protecting the environment 2) regulating corporations 3) ending war (of all kinds) . . . n/t

.

[Swamp Rat]

9. levees, healthcare, and

levees

[Hangingon]

10. My priorities...

First, a satisfactory solution to the Iraq situation and the rebuilding and transformation of the military.

Second, a sane immigration policy. STop the flood and return jobs to US.

Third, overhaul NCLB to provide adequate accountability while ending abuses.

[Raine]

11. Environment, environment, environment

and I will vote accordingly.

[Jamastiene]

12. I second that. n/t

[Coventina]

26. If we destroy the planet, everything else becomes moot.

EARTH FIRST!

[Celeborn Skywalker]

28. That's definitely an important one. (nt)

[sam sarrha]

13. stop the war, paper ballots stop the hemorrhage of jobs/tariffs

[B Calm]

14. 1. The endless war 2. Labor Issues 3. National health Care &

saving the environment from global warming

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

15. Here's mine

1. Out of Iraq-work on peace, not war
2. Environmental/energy issues-this is our last chance, folks, to keep this a livable planet
3. Making government responsive to the interests of the people instead of corporations

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

16. 1. Peace, 2. Health Care, 3. Education

1. Get out of Iraq. Get out of Afghanistan. Resist the temptation to go into other countries: Somalia, Sudan, etc.

2. Force negotiated drug prices, establish minimum single-payer universal health care.

3. Remove emphasis on preparing for "da test" so we can teach basics, reading, riting, rithmetic. Re-introduce arts, physical fitness. Re-introduce shop and other work-prep programs. Face facts: some will be left behind, but if we have work-prep programs and health care, life is still good.

[RestoreGore]

17. the climate crisis, the climate crisis, the climate crisis

In no particular order. We address that and the underlying social effects and we then begin to fix everything else wrong with this system including addressing the corporatism that stifles truth not just about that, but everything else by returning this Earth to balance. Nothing will be solved in this world by continuing to just throw money at it thinking it will go away. The time has come whatever your issue is to address the social, economic, and political walls that have been inmpeding progress for decades.

[The2ndWheel]

18. Environment

Mass production

Corporate control of food

[ThomWV]

19. Impeachment, The Debt and Housing Bubble, Theocratization of Government

The war is ending,for us, even as we speak.

[Graybeard]

20. Supreme Court in my top three....

....and other appointments to the federal judiciary.

[RepublicanElephant]

21. 3. healthcare 2. war 1. FAIRNESS DOCTRINE!!!

[bdamomma]

24. There are so many to list. My three are:

1. The War in Iraq and Afghanistan/Foreign Policy
2. Domestic Issues
3. Global Warming

[Rosemary2205]

25. Saving the middle class and a total overhaul on US foreign policy.

Saving the middle class means
1. Single payer healthcare - or at least put a major smackdown on the insurance companies to begin with.
2. Education - Destroy NCLB and get some decent money available for college.
3. Protect Social Security forever.
4. Protect 401Ks and pensions from corporate raiders.
5. Put the smackdown on banks on credit card companies regarding their preditory lending practices.

US foreign policy
1. Actually work with the rest of the world instead of dictating to them.
2. Work out fair trade instead of free trade agreements.
3. Punish US companies who misbehave in other countries.

[Cameron27]

27. Mine are:

Withdraw from Iraq
Health care, single payer
The environment

[Annces]

29. healthcare, outsourcing, minimum wage

[proud patriot]

30. 1) the war 2) reducing carbon emissions 3)national health care

[PaulLev]

31. respect for the Constitution

This leads to:

1. Withdrawal from Iraq (no declaration of war - plain and simple)
2. Muzzling the FCC and its crackdown on broadcasters (goes contrary to the First Amendment)
3. No Supreme Court interference with elections, as in 2000 (violates Federalism principles)
