Hi! For an essay on voter demographics, my teacher is having us do a survey of voters. If anyone could answer these questions for me, I'd greatly appreciate it!
1. What was the last election in which you voted? Why did you vote?
2. Were you satisfied with the voting choices in the election?
3. In what party do you align yourself?
4. Does party selection influence your vote? If so, to what extent?
5. Please list/explain 3 key issues that link you to the party you claim.
6. What do you think are the 3 most important issues facing voters today? (examples can include abortion, homeland security, international trade, stem cell research, environment, etc.)
7. Please list/explain 3 issues you think the other party has gotten wrong.
And this is OPTIONAL, but if you'd like, you can include age, gender, education, religion, and occupation.
I know there are some sensitive questions asked, so if you'd prefer to email answers, please email them to nothingnewsincerocknroll[at]yahoo[dot]com
Thanks!!

1. What was the last election in which you voted? Why did you vote? I voted in this past November election, and I did because I ALWAYS vote.
2. Were you satisfied with the voting choices in the election? Somewhat. Though my local election didn't go as I'd hoped, I'm happy with the Democrats in Congress.
3. In what party do you align yourself? Democratic.
4. Does party selection influence your vote? If so, to what extent? Yes it does---I'd NEVER vote Republican.
5. Please list/explain 3 key issues that link you to the party you claim. 1) They're NOT Republicans.....
6. What do you think are the 3 most important issues facing voters today? (examples can include abortion, homeland security, international trade, stem cell research, environment, etc.) The war, human rights (same-sex marriage & women's rights), and yes, the environment.
7. Please list/explain 3 issues you think the other party has gotten wrong. 1) Using "Christianity" and "good morals" as a save-all, 2) Trying to ban same-sex marriages (human rights-hello?), 3) EVERYTHING.

1. November 2006. Because it's my civic duty and responsibility.
2. Generally speaking, no.
3. Usually Libertarian.
4. Seldom.
5. Personal responsibility, limited government, reduced taxation.
6. Environment, Economic Security, Federal Government Expansion (not necessarily in that order).
7. The other party (meaning the two dominant ones) have lost their sense of civic responsibility, and are easily bought and paid for by special interests. They spend more time and money trying to gain re-election than actually contributing to the welfare of their constituency.

1. yes, several times. Because some Democrats paid in groceries and beer for everytime we did it. Only where the electric voting machines don't print out the actual recording of each vote...
2. nope, there were no penguins on the ballots, and the write-ins were, like, blanks, not worthy...
3. There's a party? Count me in! I think that I am one of the 74% who are Libertarian, but, I am a Veteran Libertarian, and only Dems, Repubs, and NonAffiliated are allowed in Florida...
4. Yes, I run fast and far from any organized criminal activities.
5. The Bill of Rights: to speak openly, act freely, think wisely, and move about the country without illegal invasion of my private books and papers: the Rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, without onerous taxation.
http://fairtax.org http://cagw.org are two more.
6. Fairtax at http://fairtax.org Bridges to Nowhere at http://cagw.org and Borders, Language, and Culture!
7. Taxation, Freedom (why, 5 years after 9-11 are we FINALLY demanding passports for all Air travelers?), Borders, Fences!
Age: 60, M, BA, Retired USAF , unemployed computer scientist, Veteran of all Campaigns in VN, and also, some undeclared, un-announced 'actions' that pre-dated Desert Shield (1991)...
Addendum: War on Drugs, AGAINST, because too many innocent folks are being killed, indicted, and their lives and reputations ruined, in the fervor to crush some very sick people.
