and how slowly are rights are being taken away. FISA is just a small part of it.

And that means NO to Hillary as Veep!

It's always been - imho - an illegal war.

TRUST

The return of widespread quality public education.

That is the key that unlocks so many of the worlds issues.

I can make a valid argument on any problem that could be solved with an educated world.

I could start with educating women in 3rd world nations-It lowers the birth rate, increases employment and decreases poverty. Helps eliminate hunger and lowers abuse by men.

This leads to less strife, less aggravation and less helplessness in the world. In other words, less terrorism.

That's just 1 example...I could go on. BTW, great question.

raising the middle class and restoring the American Dream as a promsie for anyone that works hard and plays by the rules

Education of course.

Disability rights and everything that falls under that, including reform, SSDI, education etc. It's one of the biggest issues that made my decision to support Obama.

The Most Important Issue:

It's not taxes, the economy, the war, our civil rights, our personal liberties. It's not the Democrats or the Republicans; Liberal's or Conservatives; It's America and what is necessary for her to survive. It's what are we willing to sacrifice for the good of our nation? What are we willing to give up. Are we willing to sacrifice some personal liberty to insure her safety? Obviously not. Are we willing to dig a little deeper to insure her fiscal health and security? Obviously not. Are we all willing to go out and volunteer to do what must be done to insure America has a strong and vibrant future in the 21st century and beyond? Doubtful. Instead of asking what we will get from the Next Administration; why aren't we asking what America needs and then see that she get's it? Instead of "us against them" why isn't it "all of us for America?" America isn't just a place, a nation, a name on a map. It's a concept where all citizens worked together to build a life that we could all be proud of and feel secure in. It's a feeling that you have when you see the excitement of a youngster watching their first parade on the fourth of July. They may not know why; but their excited just the same. It's the feeling that you get when you watch fireworks in the summer sky; or see the Statue of Liberty after returning home from a trip; or watching the sun rise over the rim of the Grand Canyon. It's knowing that people that you never met and will never know have given their lives just so you could sit on your front porch or in your back yard and complain about your national leaders without fear.

That's what I would write about. America.

Ignorance breeds ignorance and that is a major problem in America today. That is how GW got elected twice.

how they differ from conservative values, and why its important to think about the big picture in this election.

why vote the party line? because who wants to waste another 4 years of their life under a republican president who will only dig us deeper into ruin!

We need to Educate the masses in Science, Math, English and other languages (no Obama a person should not be forced to learn Spanish, but they should be given options to learn many languages, the onces they choose), our History and the History of the world (the true History, trust most of what we thought about Latin America (at least when I was growing up, even in college was all wrong) and the Arts (We forget how important this is as a culture, we should encourage Americans to remember their Culture and Heritage, to be proud of who they are, where they came from, to have pride in all those things that make them Americans (Latino Americans, European Americans, African Americans, Asian Americans) because by remembering who we are and where we come from, we know where we are going and that makes us so much stronger.

We also need to teach Tolerance, accepting different cultures and beliefs, experimenting with different cultures so we start learning to understand each other.

Only with Tolerance, Understanding and Knowledge can we transend and become a new, stronger, better, more powerful and great America to truly bring us into the 21st Century.

Nothing counts like the ability to tell whether or not somebody is full of it.

of rights, erosion of peace and erosion of environment - a concept GWB peddles.

I think we should launch Operation Freedom of GWB Minded People.

Vet someone that can do take on these Violators of Erosion: answer is: GORE! :)

BO and Gore (Economic sensibility, experienced, focused).
