If Kerry wins I’ll be happy because:

• The deficit will be cut drastically.
• Taxes will be raised like they need to be to put the balance back into the economy.
• Environmental issues will be fixed, like rejoining the global warming treaty, reinstating the constraints on industrial pollution, and so much more.
• No Child Left Behind will be revised if not thrown out, given more local control to education, the way it’s established in the Constitution.  Maybe they’ll even give a little attention to special education and not hold all but 1% of students accountable to grade level standards.  Children learn differently and have different abilities.  All the research proves it, why write a law that goes against that and tries to do the impossible?  Oh, and I'd like to be considered "highly qualified" after this crazy intense program that I'm going through.
• There’s a chance that we can regain some international credibility that will hopefully come with a fresh face in the White House.
• Welfare programs and health care will be reformed.  It’s not about the dead-beat adults.  It’s about the kids.  I say it again: it’s about the kids.  You tell a child they can’t get the things they need because their parents don’t make enough money or have the job that provides the insurance they need.
• National security.  Bombing countries might do some good in slowing terrorist networks, but it also stirs up a swarm.  We’ve got to have tighter borders to prevent problems, and Bush has done nothing towards that.

If Bush wins I’ll be happy because:

• It’s likely that at least one Supreme Court Justice will be replaced very soon, perhaps making it possible to overturn the abortion precedents.
• Homosexual marriage won’t happen, and laws might be passed against it.  (Please be laws and not constitutional amendments.)
• We might quit losing money to Social Security that we’ll never see anyway.
