Iraq war - get us out and quit wasting money and ruining lives. This is a money pit we can not afford, and it does nothing positive for the US
2) Our dependence on cheap oil - need to develop an alternative *viable* to petroleum. - no bio-deisel, no ethanol and no hydrogen). Do some research on peak oil (we're in it) and the Olduvai Trench - starts in about 8 years. Cheap petroleum affects more than the price of gas and diesel fuel.
3) Social Security - need to institute a program to keep this solvent - raise taxes 1.5%, remove the FICA cap, means testing for Medicare recipients.
4) Environment - need the same fuel standards on SUVs and pickup trucks. Limit passenger vehicle engines to 80 HP.
5) The Economy and federal debt - need to quit borrowing to spend and raise taxes to pay off our debt. Also need to penalize US companies for outsourcing and offshoring to raise their profits.
6) Illegal immigration - flat out it's allowing criminals into our country who drain the system.
7) Global warming - this will kill off the human species if we aren't careful
8) Affordable medical care for every citizen in this country - socialize it.
