- The Supreme Court: The President nominates and the Senate Judiciary Committee says "yea" or "nay." The majority party in the Senate controls the approval process.
- Health Care: House Republicans have voted 31 times to repeal the health care reform law. If the GOP wins a Senate majority, there will be no stopping Congressional repeal. For many Americans, that means farewell to health insurance, coverage for pre-existing conditions, and much more.
- Women's Reproductive Rights & Health: Will contraception be available in health care plans or will employers be able to refuse to offer the option? Will we continue to make a controversy over birth control? Who decides what prescription drug you can buy, your doctor or your pharmacist?
- Immigration: Will we have a fairer and more effective system or will we have injustices such as deportation of parents whose children are American citizens? Will minorities be targets of profiling or will they be able to live freely as Americans?
- Taxes: Although tax rates on the top income earners are lower than at any time since the 1950s, will their rates go lower still while the middle class and poor make up the difference?
- Infrastructure: Will the Tea Party prevail in starving the federal government of resources needed to maintain bridges, roads, power grids, water treatment facilities, and schools?
- Education: Will America meet its commitment to educate its children or will we perpetuate the two-tiered system that fails the majority of American children and places America below China and India in math, science, and literacy?
- Seniors: Will the contract with seniors be honored or will Medicare and Social Security be privatized as the first step toward elimination?
- Science:Will science be respected or will our policies be based on personal religious belief? Will our schools teach creationism on an equal basis with evolution? Will we deny that global warming exists?
