This election being my first election to really have any effect or interest on me, I have been doing a lot of researching (and asking my parents questions). I still have not made any type of decision on who I will be voting for, but I have started to think about what is important to me.
Health Care is probably one of my number one issues that I feel needs to be taken care of. There are so many people in this country that are uninsured and sick. I myself get sick often and have already have had multiple surgeries and treatments. Luckily for me my parents have provided me with great insurance, but when I graduate you from college I will be on my own and that truly scares me very much. What I have learned and heard from McCain is that he too cares very much about that issue and that is very important to me.
Education is just about next on my list of important issues. I adore kids and hope to one day teach them Spanish. I think that the education system is really not horrible but it could always use some help. I want to the new generations to want to learn, and be able to learn to the highest ability.
I am still very undecided about the election, but I have no officially registered to vote and have McCain and Obama's campaign pages bookmarked on my computer. Before I took this class I was really lazy about this elections and now I'm getting really into it and even more excited to learn more!

Elsa, the importance of the topics you mentioned are paramount. Healthcare, education and the like are the building blocks for a civil society. Both presidential candidates know this, so both are trying to please everyone. Hopefully you can learn enough about both candidates to make an educated vote in November.
