I personally feel that campaign finance reform must come before everything else, even if it means a constitutional amendment to overturn the Citizen's United decision.

I agree with setanta. For me, voter suppression is up there also.

I agree. I don't know how I overlooked that issue. That is clearly a (very important) issue.

I certainly agree about voter suppression. That's naked elitism, and an attempt by Republicans to assure electoral success when the gerrymander and other devices have failed.

The one issue I consider "Most Important" is the environment. And in an eco-stalinist utopia the rightful preeminence of this issue would directly or indirectly lead to the solution of every other problem on the list.

This is the number one issue. Until this is fixed nothing in the US government can run effectively. It affects and hinders progress on every other issue. We need to return congress to the people, as it was intended.

I would have to say all of them are important to me, health care and supreme court appointments ranking the highest. Also agree with Setanta on voter suppression.
