Why do you feel you must impose your own religious beliefs upon all others, including reducing a woman's freedom of bodily autonomy-- though keeping men's freedom of bodily autonomy-- especially when your religious beliefs are proven not those of the majority of American citizens?

Since all of the Republican candidates want to get rid of the new health care law as fast as they can, what is their plan for the uninsured and how would it be administered? Do they all plan to go back to "the way it was?"

Most public school disricts are fixated on standardized test scores. Any teacher not " teaching the test" is subject to criticism from students and administration who have been brainwashed into thinking the standardized test results are more important than regular teaching. How would you change this mentality? What would you do to enhance teacher performance?

Why are you against labor unions, Public employee labor unions in particular? The unions are made up of hard-working Americans who have contributed to the success of the free enterprise system, and are responsible for America's once strong middle class. Union members fought and in some cases died, so that ALL workers in America would have decent wages, safe working conditions, health care, education and on-the-job training, and adequate retirement benefits. CEOs did not create the middle class, unions did.

We believe your not living in the real world of the average American citizen. You wish to tear down the Obama Care Program wwhich covers their onlyInsurance Program. Your Health Care is provided for you by the US Govt. which is us who is paying your salary as well as your benefits But don't want to help the middle class & the Poor!! I think in the long run, the Obama Care program will be less expensive than Private Ins. which will cost 127% per cent more than it did 2 years ago. I think your Playing Politics to advance the Republican Goals of taking Care of The Rich & "to Hell with The Middle Class & Poor

I believe most of the actions taken over the last few years economically were to benefit American business. I would like to see more action toward the "people" as our government is supposed to represent. Will you value the individuals instead of big business? The bail out would have best served individuals who could then have supported business who would have survived. Instead, individuals are daily being minimalized. What will you do to bring this nation back to a "land of the people"? What can I tell my high school students about the future?

As a leader of our country. How do you plan to separate your personal religious beliefs from deciding on the greater good of our country?

Mr. Romney. You make over $57,000 dollars a day for doing nothing but keeping your money in the Cayman Islands. That is over $400,000 dollars a week for doing nothing, but living off the wealth of your massive investments. I would like to know what you think a fair wage should be in America. If the average American’s work was worth just 1% of what you make for doing nothing, then the wage would be $100 an hour. Would that be excessive for hard working men and women?

How do the Republican presidential candidates plan to fulfill all of their promises to fix the USA economy problems. If they are not successful, will they consider themselves a failure to the American people?

When is the, "Grand Old Party," going to confront reality, and serve the interests of the majority of the country? We need a strong Middle Class to have a strong economy, yet all of the verbiage is about weakening the Middle Class and creating a more privileged aristocracy. Remember the lessons of history. We need to grow the economy not pander to the wealthiest few Americans.

Since our country is based on Freedom of Religion allowing all citizens the opportunity to practice and embrace each of many religious faiths and non-religious beliefs, how would you as the President of the United States lead the people to feel the freedom to safely worship or not worship in their own way while not forgetting the separation of Church and State in governing this country. When topics such as abortion, equality, evolution, tolerance and issues related to all diverse people including gays, Muslems, atheists and non-whites which have religious roots are being discussed why should your religious beliefs be more significant?
