3. Those are some good ones. I'd add repealing the tax cuts.
I know that's supposed to be the death knell for candidates...but we all know how unfair the tax cuts Bush implemented are. It's time to end the largesse towards the ultra-wealthy. And it would address the huge deficits we're facing right now.

5. We can't take our focus off of Iraq - the other issues are critical as well, but
we need to bring our troops home and begin healing our reputation and standing in the world.

8. I had originally planned to put
Universal Health Care as the choice. I have changed it to read that way now.

11. No, I asked what "issues", realizing that
Edited on Fri Nov-23-07 09:02 PM by jimshoes
there will be several issues that will be more important than others. I'm trying to get a feel for what our DU community feels is most important so we can hit back at the non issues that get thrown out there and will be trumpeted by the gasbags on MSM. I don't want to keep getting sidetracked by made up issues or other right wing trickery. The need to focus is important.
