Three Political Priorities

Here's an interesting question. After signing up to receive Jeff Merkley's senator newsletter, you are asked to pick which three political issues you most care about from the following list.
Abortion/Reproductive Rights
Afghanistan / Iraq
Agriculture
Animal Rights
Arts and Humanities
Banking
Budget
Campaign Finance Reform
Children and Families
Civil Rights
Crime and Drugs
Defense
Economy
Education
Elections and Congressional Affairs
Energy
Environment and Public Works
Foreign Affairs
Health Care
Help With a Government Agency / Casework
Housing
Immigration
Indian Affairs
Insurance Health
Interior/Forestry
Judiciary
Labor
LIHEAP
LGBT Issues
Medicare/Medicaid
Military, Retiree Health Care
Small Business
Social Security
Taxes
Trade
Transportation
Veterans
I chose Civil Rights, Elections and Congressional Affairs, and Taxes. Civil Rights because scripture so often asks us to work for justice. Elections and Congressional Affairs because a republic is only strong if voters can find candidates who represent them well. Taxes because that is an issue I have studies somewhat which is ripe for big changes.

Which three would you chose?
