Like every election cycle, "the issues" that people latch on to as their most important concern come to the forefront. However, in the past, many of the issues like education, healthcare, gay marriages, etc... are spoken with great length leading up to the election but just fade away with the American memory in the days following an election.
So before we choose our candidate to represent our respected parties, what are the most important issues to you?

Right now.. I think we need "fiscially responsibility" more then anything.
