Moral issues
Among the most prominent are abortion, gay rights and the definition of "marriage" and "family."
Religious freedom
Restrictions can affect freedom to worship, pray and evangelize.
National security
Military preparedness is a key issue in this election.
Public school system
Issues affected are federal intervention, the teaching of humanism vs. theism and the influence of the NEA.
Private and home schools
Vouchers, federal regulations and curriculum mandates will be affected.
Economics
Inflation affects personal finances and contributions, which affects church and non-profit organization finances.
Christian broadcasting
Under the Fairness Doctrine, controversial issues of community interest must be identified and all sides presented. When implemented, the regulation greatly hinders Christian broadcasting. The Doctrine was rescinded under Reagan, and Clinton tried to restore it.
Appointments
The president appoints an estimated 2,000 or more positions. The next president could possibly appoint four Supreme Court justices.
Free speech
Speaking out against sin conflicts with "politically correct" views. This can affect tax exempt status.
National sovereignty
The influence foreign governments and authorities have over the U.S. will be affected (e.g., U.S. soldiers swearing allegiance to the U.N.).
