    Default What issues do you want YOUR President to address?

    The 2004 election is a year and a half away. When considering who to vote for, what issues are important to you?

    An added note: don't feel you have to be hip on politics to reply. This is about the role you think those who govern you should play. What matters to you?

    What's most important to me?

    The protection of civil liberties
    Education reform
    Corporate control & limits
    Universal health care
    End to the Drug War
    A new attitude towards peace
    We all imagine ourselves the agents of our destiny, capable of determining our own fate. But have we truly any choice in when we rise, or when we fall, or does a force larger than ourselves bid us our direction. Is it evolution that takes us by the hand, does Science point our way, or is it God who intervenes keeping us safe.

    So much struggle for meaning, for purpose. And in the end, we find it only in each other. Our shared experience of the fantastic. And the mundane. The simple human need to find a kindred, to connect. And to know in our hearts... that we are not alone.

    Why do I care? I will submit the popular concerns to several canidates for President and if they respond, post their responses on this website.

    I'm not really politically savvy, but these are the things I care about:

    -Equal rights for Gays and Lesbians (sodomy laws, employment discrimination, etc)
    -Funding for programs like Head Start
    -Funding and policing for children and youth services
    -Relaxing the laws that affect us in the sex industry AND perhaps enforcing some of the pertinent laws
    -A different take on foreign relations - a good neighbor type attitude.
    -Acountability for the medical profession.
    -Acountability for people and groups that are killing the earth.
    -Someone who will force the Dept of Agriculture to do something about puppy mills.
    -Someone who will support the "Kill Them With Kindness" campaign (http://www.crean.com/kindness/)

    Okay, I'll shut up now...

    I'm not politcally in-the-know either, but here goes:

    EDUCATION! Coming form a European background, we are so far behind. A lot of citizens from other countries think us Americans are ignorant. Sometimes they aren't too far off!

    The planet is an important issue. Too many species are becoming extinct, rainforests are disappearing, etc.

    Making sure abortion is kept legal and every Woman has a right to choose
    It's better to be looked over, than overlooked.

    It would be nice if Historical Education became a priority in school curriculum, and schools recevied funds for this end.

    I find it interseting that so far, the concerns are mostly internal ones. My biggest concern is North Korea, the mid-east, and the terrorists who would do us harm. I'll take my local educators to task for the eductaion--or non-education--of our kids. I don't think the government can do anything else to screw up our schools. Study after study has shown that so far, money per student is NOT a way to improve the system--that is just what the unions want you to believe. If we are for CHOICE when it comes to our bodies--i.e., abortion--then we should be for CHOICE when it comes to schools--i.e., vouchers.

    I do not get involved much with talk about politics, hell i don't vote. Sometimes glad i don't.
    But to say..
    I am in support of better earth care.
    stronger..strict laws for pet ownership (dogs) in ALL areas, where laws should apply to an owner. Right now we are facing dangerous dog laws, that 'should' apply to 'dangerous owners'. My pit bulls may suffer from the laws that may be enforced here in Florida. In South Florida Pit bull dogs are already banned.

    Better heath care for All, children to elderly.
    Better programs/funding to support our growing children.

    I have to agree with Lena's issues, as well as education reform, healthcare reform, BUDGET CONTROL, and get Baby Bush the hell OUTTA THERE!! Also a few other things relating to foreign policy that I better not mention here, but a certain metal-group album title comes to mind

    I do tend to be rather extreme in my stance on CERTAIN foreign issues.

    I'm with dreamer - keep the social causes and the handout programs and give me a tax reduction! - and a REAL one, not one that sounds good but really doesn't exist after you do alternative minimum tax calculations. After that you can invade Iran and Syria - the best way to keep our civil liberties from being eroded further in the pursuit of terrorist threats is to "neutralize" the terrorists where they live and the governments which support and partner with them!
