choose whether or not to have an abortion but that the abortion should be “safe and rare”. He also takes a similar view on Affirmative action in which he supports it but thinks that it must have more funding to protect people’s civil rights. The view he takes on Campaign finance is that of supporting the elimination of gray area’s in legislation and that he backs the McCain-Fein gold Bill. The view that Gore hold’s on other important issue cover’s such things as the crime problem in which he feels that there is no more fundamental responsibility than to make Americans safer and more secure in their lives. The view of Gore on Defense spending is that we need a strong military and calls for continued development of advanced weaponry. He also feels that the drug problem

in America is a major one and that parents need to be there for their children between the hours of 2 and 6 p.m. when children are most likely to get in trouble. Another issue that Gore has a good policy on is the Education money issue in which he feels that there should be increased funding for schools with problems and not avoiding the problem and letting the parents just move the child from a public school to a private school with vouchers. Another policy that Gore would like to put into effect is the Gun control policy in which there would be mandatory background checks at gun shows to purchase a firearm along with supporting the Brady Law. Another issue that America feels is very important is the Health Care issue and the position that Gore takes on this is he supports

quality health care to all Americans, especially seniors and children along with preventative health care education and the expansion of biomedical research for AIDS and Cancer. The issue of Foreign Policy is covered by Gore’s plan of intervention and believes that America should lead the way in promoting freedom and Democracy in the world of interdependency. Along these same lines Gore believes that we should be a “Free Trader” country and plans to open more Foreign markets to U.S. trade. The last major issue that seems to be the main focus of recent events is the tax issue and the Budget surplus in which Gore feels that we need to keep the interest rate low as well as keeping the investment rate high. On this same issue Gore also feels that we need to keep “reinventing

government” to keep wasteful spending down. This issue is very important because Gore also wants to pay down the national debt by taking the budget surplus and paying down the $3 Trillion dollars that we owe. The chances that Gore has For winning the election are very good because most of the national polls hold the race of Bush v. Gore with Bush ahead at between 46 and 49 percent and Gore following with 43 to 48 percent with a 3 to 4 percent error making this one of the tightest presidential races in many years. The deciding factor that many people feel may be the turn around in this election will be the popular votes that Ralph Nader swings away from Al Gore and this may cause him to lose the electoral votes he needs to win this election. This election comes down to the

states that are still up for grabs and the candidate that wins the majority of these states being the one likely to claim the presidency.
