What Should be the Most Important Priorities in the United States Today?

Personally, I believe that the issue of global warming should be Americans' top priority. By handling global warming through recycling, reusing, or simply going green, the Americans will live a healthier life and have a better environment in the future. If we do not avert the detrimental effects of environmental heedlessness and keep our environment safe, we will be sucked into the ozone layer as it continually depletes. This is most important because it affects not only humans, but everything in the world, including plants and inanimate objects.

Secondly, the economic recession should be one of our main priorities also. It appears to be of most troubles to Americans in the United States today. By fixing the economic recession, more job opportunities will be provided. This will provide people with the opportunity to take care of their families better, reduce poverty amongst many elderly and young lower-income individuals and families, and provide more educational opportunities for people by increasing funding for many educational activities. This is more important than gay rights because I believe that you can have all the rights you want, but it means absolutely nothing when you are poor and don’t have the money or job necessary to enjoy them.

The third priority in the United States should be immigration reform. This is the third priority on my list. I believe that there should be U.S. borders by adding personnel land and sea and having new technology set-up to avoid terrorist attacks and overpopulation also. This will allow Americans to have more job opportunities by averting illegal immigrants from being hired for lower pay and doing jobs that Americans should be paid for doing. It will also prevent another “9/11” from occurring and keep American citizens safe from terrorist threats. This is more important than gay rights because terrorist threats are threats to everyone; thus, being a larger problem than the fight for gay rights.

Last, but not least, Gay rights should be the last priority in the United States today. I think that gay rights are a minor issue compared to those listed above. Equality is very important; hence, homosexuals should have the right to get married and Proposition 8 in California should be repealed along with the Marriage Ban Act. Everyone deserves equal sovereignty and the U.S. constitution promises it.
