The things that are important to me that I would want attentin paid attention to are : reducing the federal budget deficit, controlling illegal immigration, and bringing some kind of control to oil prices, even if it is only on oil prduced domestically. The Republican Party had full control of the governemt for 6 years, and have done nothing on these problems. I do not know if the Democrats will have any better luck on these problems, but I do know that the Republicans have proven to me that they will not, they had 6 years and the budget ballooned, the size of the federal government ballooned, and not only was nothing done about illegal immigration, it was encouraged by the current administration and the presumptive republican nominee with the guest amnesty proposal.
