What's the most over-looked issue?

[plurality]

[sangh0]

1. Veteran's benefits

.

[DemDogs]

17. Gotta agree

And GWB is vulnerable here.

18. Hi DemDogs!!

Welcome to DU!!

[alcatraz]

20. Corporate crime

If they don't address this, the crooks will screw us. I'm
still steaming from the fact that I gave some of my
hard-earned money to Kenneth Lay because I contributed to the
"Social Choice" mutual fund in my 401(k). This
"socially responsible" fund underperformed last year
because it invested too heavily in Enron.

2. Corporatocracy...

covers all your other issues

[OneBlueSky]

13. yes yes yes yes yes . . .

ending corporate governance is THE issue that encompasses all others . . . and if it isn't addressed, nothing else much matters . . . because as long as corporations control our government, WE DON'T . . .

3. well...

I think you forgot about the economy and unemployment...let's also not forget education...!

[dback]

9. I agree: Jobs, Jobs, Jobs should be #1

Bush can talk all the happy blather he wants about the economy improving, and on paper it may look like it is, if you're focused on the stock market and interest rates. However, even with all these wonderful indicators in place, the United States continues to lose and bleed jobs--and the jobs that people are taking are largely service-industry stuff just to keep the rent paid and the family fed. I live in San Jose, and let me tell you the Bay Area has had some of the worst unemployment stats of the past 3 years.

I'd like to know who these 45% of those polled are who keep claiming the economy's getting "better." Better than raw sewage, perhaps, but still a bunch of garabge.

4. Get back to Minimal government intereference with peoples liberties

[Terran]

5. Homelessness

and the closely related issues of lack of affordable housing and lack of a livable minimum wage.

[RobinA]

6. Right Now,

the single most overlooked issue is the Guantanomo Bay travesty. This should be broadcast from the rooftops until people "get it." That anything like this should be perpetrated by America is unthinkable.

[Cointelpro_Papers]

7. Stem Cells,

so much is possible, so much suffering could be stopped. And we don't do it, for moral reasons.

It is immoral to put your morals above the happiness of countless other humans. It is vain.

[LiberalLibra]

8. I voted "other" because imho "voting issues" surpass all else.....

....without a fair and completely verifiable voting system nothing else matters.

[Zan_of_Texas]

14. Yeah

Agreed. Integrity of voting process has to be #1.

After that, the whole array of corporate control of the world. Of the world's largest 100 economies, over 50 are corporations. Right now, they own the voting machines, and they own our elected representatives.

Along with that, completely unreported, is the role of offshore, nontransparent banking systems (such as in the Cayman Islands) in helping corporations and crooks keep their money and pay no taxes. An amount equal to 20% of all the money in the US banking system resides offshore in those tiny money laundering havens, and it's growing rapidly.

10. corporate corruption and campaign reform go hand in hand.

n/t

[ulysses]

11. corporate corruption

absolutely.

[LWolf]

12. Public Education

I've probably said it too many times already!

[jiacinto]

15. Education in inner city and in rural public schools

nt

[ElsewheresDaughter]

16. ending Pentagon/Corporate governance

[RichM]

19. I wonder if media reform is its own category or a sub-heading

under "corporate corruption." I think it deserves its own category. Most people simply do not understand how this part of the system of obedience-training & conformity-enhancing mind-control works.
