Hi guys, I'm working on another project for Youth Noise regarding the upcoming 2008 Presidential election (I can't tell you much, but its going to be huge/awesome/very extensive) and I was wondering what issues are most important to you all; issues that define a candidate for you. Ones that I have so far are: Abortion Gun Control Gay Marriage War on Terrorism Global Warming etc.... What else would you like to see covered?

Ah, I never included the "questioning" people in that. How shallow of me?

quote: 2. Constitutional Issues (Free Speech, Freedom of the Press, etc)
From my polisci perspective, I would call this "First Amendment Rights" instead of "Constitutional Issues." Pretty much everything is a constitutional issue...

I might broaden abortion to reproductive rights/issues to also cover HPV vaccinations, birth control, etc. Looks good otherwise though.

Okay friends, so I think we should narrow it down to 10 topics that sort of encompass everything. Here is what I have, tell me what you think. 1. Abortion 2. Constitutional Issues (Free Speech, Freedom of the Press, etc) 3. Education/ Affirmative Action/ Affordable College 4. Environment/ Global Warming/ Conservationism 5. Gay Marriage/ GLBTIQQ Rights 6. Gun Control 7. Health Care/Social Security 8. Immigration 9. Minimum Wage 10. War on Terror/War in Iraq (remember that these two started out the same) I know that some of these are HUGE topics but we will do our best to cover them as well as we can. If you have a better way of arranging them, let me know. Thanks for your input, everyone.
