If you are eligible to vote in America's 2008 elections, will you (include age)? If not, why? What issues are most important to you?

Older than most of you (except John K). Of course I'll vote. Education,universal healthcare, and stopping this futile invasion/occupation of Iraq.

Of course I'll cast a ballot. I'vve never failed to vote since first becoming eligible in 1960 at the age of 21. The 26th Amendment wasn't ratified until 1971, so 21 was the voting age in 1960. You do the math to figure out my age.
The most important issue is the war. All else pales by comparison. Secondly is whether the Federal govenrment continues to carry out measures to enhance the economy, so that the blessings of liberty can be secured for me and for my descendants.

Yes, I actually just turned 18. I will definitley vote. Too much is at stake for America already.
Our borders need to be amped up with impregnable security, the war in Iraq needs to end, the troops need to be taken out of the Balkans, moral values should be instilled in our society, and a vital free market economy should be held up.

I will vote just as I have each election since I turned 18. Voting is a responsibility that we have as Americans to ensure that our voices are heard. While we may not always come out on the winning side, it is better to try and fail than to never try at all.

Youbetcha! I am 56 and I plan to vote. The most important issue to me is preserving this country's freedoms from those who want to take them away from us. Terrorists are a huge threat on our own soil. I do not want to see beheadings in the burbs or the cities!!

Yes. 30 year old female. The issues most important to me are keeping business within the U.S. (no more outsourcing, and fewer foreign food imports), keeping the country secure (with fences, and more of our National Guard stationed here at home), and making sure that criminals get what's coming to them (be they border fence jumpers, or corrupt politicians/businessmen).

The most important issue to me is lower cost energy. I believe high fuel costs Will cripple our economy.

Yes (I am 19 now, and will be 21 at the time of the elections). The most important issues to me now are civil liberties and foreign policy (I've had enough of war, thank you very much).

Of course I will, I always have since 1981. Stopping illegal immigration and universal health care are what I will be looking most at.
