i do not have a political affiliation i never agree %100 with one so why should i follow them.  I think of my own ideas and believe what i would like.  The most important issue is national security and terrorism, because without our own security and having invaders, nothing else can ever be accomplished.

I would urge you to become an active voter but remain independent of either of the two main parties.  Take a look at the Libertarians.  They have pretty sensible ideas for the most part (and some wacky ones too, just to keep you from getting bored).   There is a lot to be said for not joining anything until you feel it as a calling.  Hang loose and watch.  \n\nBTW, as an old fart, I adore young people who take an interest in how things are run.  You are the future and I'm glad you are awake.  Good luck.

+ There are no full lists. There are big holes of no information, only partial lists. What country are you asking about? Are you assuming that everyone on here is from the United States? What war, the US does not participate in all wars? Try Canadian Veterans association if you are from Canada. Try the Mexican Veterans association if you are from Mexico, etc. etc.

Don't know much about Canadian politics, but to all of you who think Canada unimportant - remember that the vast majority of Oil that the US uses comes from there. Be more respectful to your neighbours.

Get involved. I've written my congressmen and 2 senators every time they voted on legislation involved with the war to either show my approval or disdain. Make sure they hear your voice. Some may write you back, Some may not. Register to vote or, if you can't, get involved with candidates (no age limit to do this) and maybe even join a Young Republicans or Young Democrats group. Volunteer for a candidate. Just get involved. As much as possible.

I like to know about the candidates and their parties before I vote.  I like to vote for both the party and the candidate.  I don't vote Conservative but if there is a good NDP candidate I may vote for them usually the Liberals get my vote.

Canada is a beautiful place, been there several times. I have several friends that I communicate in this forum from Canada. I'm a compassionate Liberal myself, but America is best lead by Democrats. I'm not against fighting for our Country when it comes down to it, but invading Iraq without WMD's wasn't a valid reason. I don't agree with George Bush nor his father before hims actions and direction they have lead America too.

FRG meetings and participation are totally voluntary.  I personally reccomend getting involved with yours....but if you have had a lot of issues with the unit I can't blame you for not wanting to be a member.  My husband and I just got up to Alaska, and I joined the FRG just so that I had other women to be around, at least once a month! LOL(My husband left for Iraq only a month after arriving here)  You wil be amazed...you can meet some really great people; of course, there will be the b*tches too....we have one member who informed us at the last meeting that we needed to start finding childcare for meetings, she obviously has NO children!

I am so suprised that no one responded yet...\n\nHere is food for thoughts...\nToyota decided to build a new plant in Ontario Canada.\nThe financial incentives where less than all the other states solliciting them...\n\nThe reason they chose Ontario ?  Les social expenditures, specifically due to Health Care Cost in the USA regardless of the State...\n\nSo now, the right wingers in Canada are not as quick to privatize the whole chabang, it has suddenly become an asset...\n\n\nMarch 8th\nKo_Luk,\n\nFirst of all Canada is not Broke, Canada is the Only G-8 country that has generated surpluses for the last 6 to 10 years...  and the issues pertaining to health care are not simply financial... They are the same issues that the US mixed reslults privatly and lucrative managed health care systems need to deal with.\n\nHowever here is other food for thoughts, and why the issues these countries have are not basis to deny a public funded health care system, first the issues Canadians have are certainly not to go back to a privatly and profit base system but rather addressing issues as to how to actualize the system with the current realities (more medications wich now account to over 50% of the bill, aging population, offer and demand in terms of waiting lists and priorities) in other words, what are they getting for their taxes and not how the system can be scraped (which in the US, is often a subject of discussion).\n\nCanadians may pay taxes yet, they are very very aware that health care taxes are much less for better "overall" services than what you get with a 5000$ ++ upscale incusrance policy covering a limited geographic area and even certain levels of specific care...\n\nSome of the issues: Florida currently needs over 20 000 full time nurses to fill in almost every single hospital and health care organizations... Pensylvania, California, you name it, and the issue is there... I personnaly know of major issues that are quite similar and worsed to the Canadian system and that is simply due to COLLUSION (Insurance companies who own hospitals). Yes, I know of many hospital who create a dynamic of restrictions (insurance policies) that delay and create waiting lists that are similar and in some cases worsed than the Canadian Public system... But between you and me, there should not be any waiting in a lucrative base system if you PAY for it, won"t you agree ???\n\nDoctors and Nurses have issues of work overlaods even in the LUCRATIVE private sectors... Many of these doctors, are shifting and now supporting lobbies to demand a national health care system...\n\nI have seen much "private" hospital with exactly the same issues who need to "hide" the blank spots that deal with delivering services...Florida, Penn, Georgia, Texas, Ca, etc...\n\nFinland, Sweden, Swisserland even Spain have public health care with far less issues than the countries you mentioned, they have made social base choices... In sweeden for exemple: No one can bring a doctor to courts.... However, their records of performance are public... This said, you can imagine the liablity pressure and the cost it intails.... It was a choice the population made in order to favor a more equitable and fair delivery of health Care...\n\nEven rich people in most of the countries you mention, will often stay in their respective countries for health care treatments...\n\nSo the issues you brought up are "Bean Counter Accounting" to deal with very complex issues while there are major social transformation that demand "Creative Accounting" in the first place...

Canada is socialist, so I doubt a true Republican would move there.\n\nBUT, if I lived anywhere else, it would be to Canada. They have a superior health, education, and social system.

After what happened at Ipperwash, the OPP are being a little bit more reserved, especially considering all of the media attention Caledonia is getting.\n\nWe need to get back to public order, similar to Oka Quebec. bring in the military to control the situation, then work on a peaceful solution.\n\nRottontothecore: does this mean we should give the entire North America back? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.?!?!

I think anyone that appreciates the potential of this country would gladly join in.  What you want to do is what politicians of every level should already be doing.  Instead of republicans being thick headed and thinking that they can change the world into one big happy family, and democrats criticizing everything but never having an alternative option or independent thought that isn't brought on by what the latest poll says they should do, they should be trying to solve the problems together.  No more fighting, time to get to work.  I think lots of people would want in on it.  Especially if it wasn't a forum for one side or another to bash the other, rather a way for people to come together with ideas and remedies to our problems.

A proposal to do what??  You probably need a friend or somebody in the US or EU to get you started in whatever you want to do.  Or spend some time over here til you get whatever going.
