I've been watching the politcal wheels of each party start to seriously spin (and do donuts in each other's lawns), and I got to thinking about what my own angle should be in analyzing the options for who SNL is going to make fun of for the next four years.

For me, for the first time ever, I'm asking "what is our country doing for (or to) my children?"  I'm done worrying about what the country does for me.  "Ask not what your country can do for you..." 

But it wasn't immediately obvious to me (at 6am) what my desires of the government for my children should be.  I mean there are some obvious ones; 

quality and timely healthcare (no real complaints there),

education (don't dumb down the system to bring the lowest kids up one notch and the highest down five),

and media (I'd like the government to take a closer look at what they are allowing our kids to see).

Does anybody else have any parent-driven issues that drive your vote on election day?  Or is it parent-driven at all?
