1. I would tell them that they need to support ideas & policies that benefit the moral majority and not the top 5-10%. The last 8 years have done nothing for the average working folks. The War, economy, Taxes, health care, etc.. are all things that effect the majority. I believe that the reason these things aren't being address is "Greed". No one wants to give up their goose (who is laying their golden egg) even it is not morally correct. If everyone gave up just a little, the world would be a better place. There is only one candidate who is talking about these concepts and that is Barack Obama.

2. The fact that our ecomomy is so close to a total collapse. I see business's closing every day that have been around for 30+ years and all of a sudden they can't make it. If things continue to get worse our economy could break down and that is scary.

3. Any time people come together for a common purpose and share their stories and concerns works well. It doesn't happen enough. Home Spun is a good attempt. Thank you!
