- The Bush Administration misled congress regarding Iraq, condoned torture of prisoners, spied on Americans, and refused to comply with subpoenas. Will an investigation into potential war crimes be held? Will Bush be given amnesty for his actions?
- Civil unions may provide rights similar to marriage, but segregation ensures differences between hetero- & homosexual partnerships--assigning same sex-couples second-class status. Will President Obama end separate-but-equal treatment of same-sex couples?
- While it's critical to promote policies that help prevent unintended pregnancies and make abortion less necessary, how will the Obama administration ensure the right to a safe, legal abortion is made more accessible and unrestricted?
- The past several months have made it clear that religious ceremony and tradition is marginalizing and repressing civil marriage for many citizens. How can church and state be separated in civil marriages--both opposite and same-sex?
- President-Elect Obama opposed the Protect America Act, but voted for retroactive amnesty to telecoms providing warrantless wiretapping. Will other organizations that assisted Bush in illegal activities receive amnesty to restore stability and ensure intelligence?
