VOTE    check on a candidates previous voting record and see what his/her real agenda might be... don't get lost or confused by tv commercials,hand shaking,photo-ops,newspaper articles by a reporter with his own agenda,one time 'popular' crusades, or shiny hand bills and lawn signs. Get politically active and find out what the real issues are.................then...VOTE

No, we should not ignore this. I do believe that everyone has a right to come to this country to make a better life for themselves, but I believe that you should have to earn this right. Living with the rights that we do have is a privilege.

I would first make all americans realise that this great country build on solid christian foundations realise that we have gone astray from the biblical principals and the convictions of our founding fathers. I would call for a fast and ask the nation to rededicate itself to God and cleanse the nation of all ungodliness and get rid of all idolatory and sin and once again urge people to honour God and follow what God wants us to do.

Eliminate corruption and politicians. Put taxes to legitimate use.  It's a simple formula but i think it will work.

No, not much except pad their pocket books. They can do that right. What we need is a citizens movement. We need to take back the country from these neo's

Get rid of religion, republicans & democrates. Once all that is gone we, the people, can start dealing with the real problems on this planet & taking better care of it & us in the process.

Invectives, diatribes and ranting screeds do nothing to help any of us.\n\nThe issues are what is important. The direction this country goes in is important. How we get along with each other is important.\n\nBut I must ask the question. "What can I, as one person, do to stop the madness?"

1.  Make it private\n2.  explore it\n3.  Flat tax is fair\n4.  Need it\n5.  keep improving them\n6.  stop it - fight there not here\n7.  We get screwed - fix that\n8.  don't give it much thought - have cars\n9.  Stop welfare and urban violence\n10. Support our Vets\n11.  END IT - every able bodied person should work - stop giving money to lazy girls who have babies just to get welfare.\n12.  Anti abortion\n\nREPUBLICAN - All 6 of us in this house!\n(actually 1 son is married and not living here but if you count his wife - it is 7 of us and our parents and brothers & sisters.  There are NO Democrats in our immediate families)

It sounds like you are an independent American capable of thinking and wanting what is right for the country. Now if we can just get our "leaders" to listen maybe we can fix this country.

democracy is the best, but could stand some improvement. it lets the people help decide what they want. beats having a million unhappy citizens
