What is the most important single issue for you during the Mid-Term elections?

There was a point when i just stop caring about what the government is doing nor do I buy into the whole illusion of an american dream. I use to spend countless hours fighting causes, watching money being wasted on organization with selfish people lining their pockets instead of addressing the agenda.
I stopped watching the news and reading the paper. I watch the weather because thats the only thing I'm really concerned about. If we get attacked by terrorist I won't know about it until after its happened. I have a wind up radio I'll listen to if that happens.

I don't put money in savings, I dont buy stocks any more and I damn sure won't do 401K or any of the other retirement choices. Screw that.

What I did was pay off a large portion of my land. Buy seeds, water filters and things to sustain that doesnt rely on electric. I invested my time and money learning how to live in harmony and survive on the earth. I don't want to be dependent on corporations and government to protect me. I am committed to my causes but work actively in my surroundings. Things I can see, touch and watch. Animals, teaching, environment and people. More grassroots then anything else.

I am really having a tough time with the billionare candidates running! Our race for govenor here in CA is just nuts! The GOP candidate (Meg Whitman of EBay fame) has spent more $ trying to be elected out of her own wallet than most of us make in 4 decades!! Maybe more! However, she is in the soup now due to an undocumented house keeper that was in her emply. GOOD! Whitman has never held a public office, nor has she voted most of her adult life.

I am saddened to say that the single most important issues for me at mid-term elections is to find someone who will uphold the constitution and not attempt to hijack it in order to turn the US into a theocracy.

If I could just find someone to vote for who would respect the bill of rights, I would be ecstatic.
