Mostly NOT BEING ATTACKED BY TERRORISTS!!!
I reach this conclusion because we are allowing our civil liberties to be eroded one by one in exchange for the promise of protection. Rather sad, really.

' Maricans have a sense of solidarity, of unfearful calmness,
and a 'joy of life', pretty nuch outlined in the Declaration of
Independence - Ben Franklin, George Washington, etc. were
REALLY smart, clever, thinkers, and somehow put their finger
on important issues that empower people to live with purpose,
secure in the knowledge that they are living free to do so.
A few hundred years have clouded that goal, but, compared to the rest of the world, it still is entrenched in the day to day lives
across the country. If you ever get a chance to read the
actual writings of some of these founders, you will be amazed at what they thought, and accomplished back then. Try and get
the "originals" ,, in their own handwriting if possible. Amazing stuff, and it still holds true today.

For everyone I know the most important thing is to have and hold onto world peace and to impeach Bush right now.
If every country would put their best foot forward towards world peace then there wouldn't be terrorists trying to destroy another country or bring another country down on it's knees.
Every American wants and deserves an honest president who will keep his/her word and work for the people of this country as is the job requirement anyway but so few ever do their job the right and honest way.
We need someone who we can trust to keep us all safe from war and work for world peace for every country as well as here.

Well i'm not speaking about myself but from what I see of Americans, the things they find are important are money, family, success, and excitement.

The ability to be educated, self-sufficient, and in control of my life so that I can change my life in the blink of an eye in case of an extreme emergency like Hurricane Katrina.

Having a government you can trust to work for legal Americans.
Security at our borders, airlines, shipping.
Being able to afford medicine, utilities, housing, health care.
Hope, that America can be great once again.
