Most Important Voting Issue

[Hotwire]

What's the most important issue concerning you in this upcoming election?

 

[Fran]

I'm definitely voting. I live in Michigan, and I'm tired of Governor Jennifer Granholm. She's giving all these promises, "In FIVE YEARS, you'll be blown away." In five years, the whole damn state will be unemployed, and Detroit will be an abandoned city.

The division over the war in Iraq is tearing the country apart and it's ripple effects around the world is causing a multitude of problems we'll have to contend with for years. So I feel that is the most important thing at the moment.

 

[NOFX]

Well for California education, immigration, and health care.

 

[Ben Urich]

The war, followed by social issues (abortion, gay marriage, etc)

 

[Spider-Bite]

budget

 

[jaguarr]

All those issues you listed concern me, but after watching "Hacking Democracy" tonight on HBO, the issue of vote fraud and election legitimacy are really weighing heavy on me tonight.

You fill out a voter registration form and they send you a card in the mail. That is, if you aren't registered already. But if you aren't, it's definitely too late for the midterm elections next week. Some states can register you on election day but that's rare. As far as where to get an application, that I can't tell you. You should be able to find this infor and polling place information on the internet though.

yeah, i live in michigan too. and unlike the rest of the country, our economy seriously f**king blows. i recently went looking for a new job, because my current job sucks, i applied to like 15 jobs, and not a single one could pay me enough to even LIVE from month to month. so im stuck with my super s#!tty job.

and the problem is, with our election (like many elections now a days), choosing between the candidates is like choosing between drowning and burning. i do believe i will be utilizing the 'write in' option.

am i the only who does'nt care for gay marriage.

 

[C. Lee]

Gay Marriage?
Illegal Immigration?
Budget?
Terrorism?
Iraq?
Unemployment?
Health Care?

am i the only who does'nt care for gay marriage.

Let's see....

Illegal immigration.....can take work away from legal citizens, raise terrorism risk, raise taxes, reduce amount and quality of government care, overburden our resources....
Budget.......affects taxes, affects basic everyday products pricing, affects the ability of the government to provide support in many areas.....
Terrorism........can kill me and my family, can cause disruption of everyday services and convieniences, can affect relationships between countries of the world, affects my everyday civil liberties and rights.....
Iraq......is causing the death and mutilation of thousands of young Americans, is causing the death and mutulations of thousands of Iraqi citizens, is causing a rise is hatred toward America around the world, is contributing to the increase in terrorist groups around the world, contibuting the escalating world tensions......
Unemployment.....can directly affect my family and friends quality of life, affects crime rates accross the country, changes the priorties of government assistence abilities, can affect the economy of the world.....
Healthcare......affects everyone's quality of life, affects taxes, affects people's paycheck amounts, affects what government assistance money is spent on, is the difference between life and death for millions.....

......and you are more worried that a couple of guys may say "I do" and live together in the same house for the rest of their lives?

I'm glad they made that 'cause that info is all old news to us "Wacko, crack-pot, nut-job conspiracy theorists", maybe now since "TV said it." some people will wake up a tad.

However, it would've been better to show it on network television as well, but I read in an article that PBS and Netwrok TV were "scared" out of airing it because of the threat of law suits.

This 'no smoking in public areas' stuff.


Will it NEVER end? Believe it or not there are two props on my ballot for smoking. One for in public areas and then another that doens't allow minors into bars with smoking.

..umm..hell-O, minors shouldn't be in bars anyway.

Why is smoking considered so horrible compared to drinking? I don't see Budweiser helping to pay for AA meetings

Makes me want to start smoking myself. :smad:

Iraq is probably the most important right now, followed by the budget. In fact, most of those issues are important...except of course for Gay Marriage. I was just talking about this with a friend today...and it went pretty much like C. LEE described. Out of all the things going on Gay Marriage is the least of our problems...and frankly, I don't even know why it is a problem.

It's just like people up in arms about taking God out of school, not being able to pray in school, or teaching ID in school. Shouldn't we be more concerned with the illiteracy rates, the growing number of dropouts, and how we are basically falling behind the rest of the world in education? I would think that would be more important.
