Let's list the issues. (UPDATED)

[rn79870]

Let's see if we can come with a 12 to 20 or so valid concerns (problems?) now facing our country. We'll boil these down to 10 +/- in another thread and ask for input on the resolution of these issues. Then we'll match the suggested resolution with the candidates resolution and we'll see how we really stack up.

Please don't be too general with your post. I.E. "the economy" really adds nothing. Instead "Social Security funding," an economic issue is more beneficial.
