The main driving point for me in this election is that the next President is going to nominate a few Supreme Court Justices...that's my only worry. A bad S.C. can make policy that will affect the US....basically for as long as there is a US.

Ditto... but I'll add stem cell research support and the job market.

The discrimination that keeps me and the person I love from being able to pay the marriage penalty tax.

The aging of the baby boomer generation is a major issue in the US now. In seven years, millions of baby boomers will start to turn 65 and retire. Social security, medicare, and health care will be strained. I really don't think that we as a nation are ready to handle this mass aging and retirement.

We've got Italy as an example of what to do and not do.

For me, the big issue right now is the issue of gay marriage. I know several gay people who are in steady, long-term relationships. I see Britney Spears as more of a threat to the sanctity of marriage than they are.

My biggest issue is keeping the hands of white Christian males off my body and the choices I make regarding my body.

I also want to follow the First Amendment--freedom of and from religion.
