As a former homeless girl and someone who just recently has the privelege of insurance (that she can afford) - HEALTHCARE. It's a fundamental need, like water, and shouldn't be structured based on "economic worth."

Also, sustainable agriculture and access to nutrititive food. I may be biased as a vegan, but much more potable water and grain goes to producing a fraction of food for the wealthy that is second-hand. That grain and water could go directly to four times (or greater) the people it goes to now.

Don't Ask, Don't Tell - you may (tenuously) have a choice as to whether or not you want to enroll in the military (would you like to go to college, poor kid?), but your life has the same value as another. Your family suffers the same as any other family and should at least be given the same solidarity, support and respect. Since when has lying and secrecy been promoted as a patriotic and American value? Oh..wait...

xosqueak. No taxation without representation?
