    Top 3 would be

    1) Border Security in the South

    2) Border Security in the North

    3) Port Security

    After those three, it would be:

    4) Consolidating departments to work more efficently

    5) Eliminating departments that infringe on states rights

    6) Revision of tax codes, abolish the IRS

    7) Bringing home US troops from all over the world

    8) Engineering new technologies for energy independance

    9) Re-establish a free market system, get rid of NAFTA and other New World Order trade agreements

    10) Return integrity and trust to the White House

    The top three things I'm looking for in my future president is...

    1) ending the war in Iraq (where my 20 yr old son is now fighting

    2) putting a stop to illegal immigration ( no more anchor babies)

    3) the deficit (we don't need another big spender in office)

    1. Secure our Borders, homeland security should be at the center of any candidates platform.

    2. The war in Iraq and Afghanistan, a candidate should have a strategy to win and to fulfill our obligation to the new democracies that we helped establish. This should include an aggressive transfer of primary law enforcement and defense over to the Iraqi and Afghan people.

    3. Illegal Immigrants in the country, they must have a plan to enforce labor employment laws and seek out, prosecute and punish employers that hire illegal aliens. Illegal aliens must be held accountable for breaking our laws, they need to be tried and if convicted deported with a permanent ban on their legally entering the US. If you eliminate the jobs and have consequences for illegal immigration, we might have a chance of a large number of illegals going home to try to enter through legal systems, before they are found in violation of our laws.

    1. Universal Health Care - Remove the profit from our suffering.

    2. Education - so much of our future rides on the youth of today.. We fail or children, we fail our country. We fall behind in technology and sciences much farther, everything else we fight for wont matter.

    3. Deficit & Line Item Veto... stop wasteful spending with all the piggyback spending taged onto useful bills...

    Iraq war, health care & illegal immigration. I expect them to give their solutions in detail, not vague answers or strident ones saying what they will do the day after election. I want someone who gives careful, considered answers to the problems in this country. I don't want to hear this person say something today that they didn't say yesterday; just because the polls tell them this is what we want. They should have known before they started on this campaign what the people wanted, not just now understanding after they have been out speaking to the people for months. I want someone who knows what he/she believes in & believes in it enough to stick to it & not relie on a poll to tell them what they ought to believe.
