Survey+Results

The results to the anonymous survey were very informative and we would like to start off by thanking everyone who participated. According to the survey results, the gender of the president is not an issue to majority of the voters, but no one selected that they would prefer a female president. This proves that male candidates are more likely to be voted for. Many people believe that the government sort of listens to their concerns. More people selected no, than yes. If we are elected to office, we will make a conscious effort to incorporate your needs into our decision making process. Many respondents said they would like their president to be honest, intelligent, and responsible. Nick Parello is all three of those fantastic qualities in a nut shell. Also, voters would like a leader with not only book smarts, but streets smarts as well. One of the main issues we aim to fix is the national debt. People gave the national debt a 9 on a scale of importance from 1 to 10, 10 being most important. When faced with the question of how to eliminate the debt, Americans thought that trimming spending to miscellaneous programs was a very plausible and efficient solution. This shows that the american people want the horrendous national debt to be dealt with and not just thrown aside. As far as the issue of gun control is concerned, approximately a third said that they would rather have less regulations on guns. Some thought that the crime rate and the availability of guns to citizens was related, but one voter made an extremely interesting point when he or she said, "...crimes would still happen if arms were banned." When asked about their view on the war on terrorism, many said we should fight till the end, others said we should form a united group of nations to organize an attack. A majority of respondents to the questionnaire thought that the death of Osama Bin Laden has given our nation a sense of unity and pride. They thought we should act upon this to further discourage terrorism groups in the middle east.
