Hey everyone! Just wondering what issue(s) you feel most strongly about--that you'd be least likely to compromise on if you were in congress. If any options weren't mentioned, of course feel free to share. You can vote for more than one issue, by the way.

Thanks!
mackinac

Taxes (against)

No compromise on:
Withdrawing our military forces from the entire Middle East by refusing to be the enforcers for the international petroleum industry.

Lesser concerns over industrial outsourcing, unjust tax system, crony capitalism distorting financial arkets, failure to bring "Liberty and Justice for All" to actuality, others

Illegal immigration. Lets get these people settled down and working. They will stabilize the housing market and solve social security.

A flat tax.

I'm against our military involvement abroad and illegal immigration at home.
I also believe we should end the war on drugs. The al Queda poppy fields should be burned before we leave and the hashish industry in that land should be rebuilt for those poor buggers.

I don't care pro or con about abortion and gay rights and find educational spending to be a waste.

Illegal immigration. Would also love to see a massive overhaul in public assistance.

Education spending. This is a WASTE of tax dollars at the FED and STATE levels. Parent should pay for their own kids education out of pocket or with loans.

Parents with children should be paying MORE not LESS for their offspring. No credits or deductions for having kids. They are a luxury and parents should be responsible for paying THEIR tax burden on society until they are of legal age.

Personally, big federal government/government intrusiveness is most worrisome followed closely by a lousy domestic US energy policy because I think it's the way out of a bad economy. Do it all. Puts people to work in both blue and white collar jobs. Let the market and consumers decide the winning energy strategy for prosperity. Quit letting the administration pick the winners and losers regarding energy.
