How will your life personally change with a Kerry presidency?

[lebkuchen]

For me,

1. Work will become much less stressful because Kerry will work to rescue our soldiers from the Middle East nightmare Bush has created.

2. I'll be able to keep my job because bases in Germany will stay open.

3. I'll have more job security because it will not be subject to Bush's plan to remove due process/arbitration rights.

4. Kerry will reverse Bush's termination of contracts begun under the Clinton administration to improve base housing and general base support infrastructure, which will improve morale and the general comfort level for all on base.

5. I'll be able to buy a house.

6. I can hope to recoup the losses in the stockmarket that occurred on Bush's watch.

[DemNoir]

1. I am looking forward

To not grinding my teeth all day.

[Parche]

2. Kerry

There will be no more fear
The economy will get better
People will be free,and walk around without the threat of fear

[flamingyouth]

3. I look forward to not being in a perpetual rage

And to being able to watch the SOTU addresses again.

[coloradodem2005]

4. Unlike when I graduated College....

...when I graduate from graduate school, I actually should be able to find a job. A real job.

[cmf]

5. I will be at much lower risk for a stroke or heart attack

since my blood pressure will go down.

[Jacobin]

6. I'll be able to go to Europe without

being so fucking embarrassed that a lunatic runs our country.

I will be able to know that someone with a brain will be making decisions on the Supreme Court appointments, the budget, economic policy overall, and that we are more likely to be able to deal with muslims who want to kill us in a more effective way.

I'm hoping he won't do the draft so my sons won't have to go to the Middle East for stupid reasons and get shot at.

A rational president can make a big difference.

[Nite Owl]

7. Maybe I'll be able to get

a good night's sleep for the first time in four years and not have to worry about my sons getting drafted. It will take a while for this economy to turn, Bush* has dug quite a hole.

[livetohike]

8. The Kerry administration

will restore good environmental policies including the protection of our wilderness areas.

We will have leadership for a change. One that is respected in the world and one that builds partnerships instead of destroys them.

The American people will have hope again. We will get on the right track with education, health care and job creation. All of the domestic issues that were ignored by Bush Co. will be addressed by the Kerry administration.

We will be led by an intelligent and compassionate administration.

Personally, I will be able to find meaningful employment and I will be able to hike in a wilderness area without worrying that it may be the last time that area is protected.

[medeak]

9. will have to listen to husband

grumbling about paying more taxes...but personally will be coming out of deep dark spider hole and into the sun.

[lebkuchen]

12. Denmark has the highest taxes

and the lowest unemployment in the world. Tell your husband that with a Kerry administration, we can work to reestablish free enterprise and true competition in the US rather than no-bid contracts to our leaders' former companies. This will improve the quality of everything in our lives, including our security.

[medeak]

13. think he's envious

of those no bid contracts ;-)

[lebkuchen]

15. He might consider moving his business to the Maldives for tax purposes

like Halliburton, Marriott, and B of A have. 'Course, you might end up with Tom DeLay as your neighbor. Yuck!

21. Unless you're in the very tip top 2% of Americans income-wise,

then let your husband know he won't be paying more taxes according what Kerry is saying. The tax change would affect only the very, very top income-reporters. I'm not sure any of us on DU would qualify.. we're talking Dick Cheney-rich... not upper middle class. Also, when the economy improves, and the funding to the states improves.. we'll be paying less hidden taxes (as Howard Dean was so clever to point out during his campaign).

[medeak]

28. over $200,000

is what Kerry is proposing. That's not exactly Cheney territory. Granted...have no issue with it..would rather taxes go to fund healthcare rather than war machines.

[Texasgal]

10. I will finally be free of

taking xanax everyday......

[unfrigginreal]

11. My blood pressure will come down.

[fudge stripe cookays]

14. I'll be able to enjoy my home and my family....

and not constantly worry about whether I'll be moving to Canada in a few months to a few years.

And I'll never be complacent again. I'll work my ass off educating young women whenever I can.

FSC

[bemildred]

16. I may become employed again ... nt

[Codeblue]

17. Well I'll still be worried about whether Im moving to Canada

because even though Kerry may be so much better than Bush, I really think we're getting our hopes up far too high.

A lot of people here are making life in America under Kerry out to be some sort of utopia, but no, that will never be.

Kerry is smarter and better than Bush for sure, but I still dont trust him to do what truly needs to be done to get this country back on the right path.

[lebkuchen]

19. Not expecting a utopia, but a democracy

That's almost as good, isn't it?

[hippiegranny]

18. i will no longer suffer jammed fingers

from stabbing at my radio every time i have to hear so much as a word from the monkey's mouth.

[catmandu57]

20. I can go to the mailbox without fear

Every day I dread seeing a letter from Social Security telling me that because the govt. is broke I'm on my own and that maybe a local church can hekp me out.

[supernova]

22. I hope to be working again

and from that will spring:

• Saving money. Being laid off, my savings have taken a beating as I've just tried to cover basic bills.
  
  
• Remodeling. Being able to once againg dive into the house remodling world. I live in the family homeplace and haven't been able to do it justice... yet.
  
  
• Feeling hopeful. Not really related to a job per se, but being able to just breath easier about the world. I've been so tense the last four years. I really would like to stand down the vigil.
  

[CrispyQ]

23. I won't worry so much about . . .

1. the diminishing of separation of church & state;

2. repealing a woman's right to choose.

It will also be great to have a president who I can listen to & not cringe in embarrassment at his mangling of the English language!

[graywarrior]

24. I'll feel like I won the lottery

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[ibegurpard]

25. I have no idea

I'd have to wait and see how he approaches governing. The people who have these ideas in their head about how everything will be just great if Kerry wins concern me...this is exactly the same mindset that hurt the left after Clinton's election. People thought we had defeated the radical right and went back into political hibernation.

[zydeco]

26. It will be so nice to have an administration that is

more concerned with the well being of America instead of the current thieves who are interested in the raping of America. This country is in a state of disrepair and we need some intelligence back in the White House.

[Obamarama]

27. I can go to Canada as a tourist, not to take up residency....

n/t

[MISSDem]

29. My blood pressure won't go up

every time I read the newspaper.

[Johnny Arson]

30. I'm working minimum wage until I get out of school..

An increase there could really help me out.

[luvgrrrl]

31. my life will change with luv

well when i heard about kerry saveing the hamster i knew he was all about luv. whereas the republikkkans are all about money making and halliBURPton. and lieing to everyone about so-called terror weapons just so they can scare us into voteing for them but they cant scare me now, i watched kerry and edwards and they were so filled with luv and they will change amerikkka from being a fascist state to one that is respected worldwide all the way into the arab states which we have caused to hate us with our halliBURPton nonsense. this will be my first election so i am truely excited to vote.

[Butterflies]

32. I'll smile more

:-)

[proud patriot]

33. I believe it means affordable Health Care for us

Both my husband and Myself are without Health insurance.

I believe the small business tax cut will help us .

My water will be clean , my forests will be safe
our coastline will be safe .

I will feel more confident in the economy when I see
efforts to live a sustainable life .

as the economy strengthens more people will be able
to afford fixing the dents in their cars and are business
will grow .

I will feel safer , with more funds available for
ports and cargo containers . Also I believe Kerry
knows better than bush who to defeat the murderers
who wish to kill Americans .

[NoBorders]

34. I'll feel less ashamed when I travel

in the world, to be a US citizen
I won't be as paranoid about my rights/privacy once Ashcroft is out
I'll worry less about the destruction of the environment
I'll have hope that I'll be able to afford to send my children to college

[clipse]

35. For me......

I feel there won't really be as much of a change as for most. I am not really effected by our bad economy currently. I am afraid though that some firearms of mine will become banned after Kerry gets elected. The only thing I don't like about Dem's is the agenda against responsible firearms owners.

Oh and I won't get drafted. :D

[ramapo]

36. I won't feel sick

I haven't recovered from Selection 2000. I've tried not to let the current state of affairs get to me but I've failed.
