Last Call To Grill The Candidates
November 13, 2007, 9:32pm
The first round of questioning at 10Questions.com, a site co-sponsored by AirCongress that is collecting video queries to present to presidential candidates, is about to end. You have one day to ask your question.
The results so far: 188 questions and 92,500 votes from 27,000 voters. The top videos so far are about “network neutrality” and whether America is “unofficially a theocracy.” Activists on both of those issues have heavily promoted the questions. The third question is about “non-religious voters.”
The rest of the top 10 questions, as of now, cover: medical marijuana, wiretapping without warrants, transparency in government, “corporate personhood,” campaign reform, the voting system, and the two-party system.
So far, Democrat John Edwards and Republican Ron Paul have committed to answering the top 10 questions. If you don’t like the list, go vote and do your part to change the line-up.

I would like to alert all those wanting to reach their candidate to check out Straight2theCandidates.com.
Our set up a) allows you to simply film yourself directly via our
platform with your webcam, b) allows you to address a particular
candidate directly (and not all candidates at once), c) enables you to post/look at the questions by category, d) and does not skew the ranking by indirectly favoring the most recent submissions.
I would invite you to check out the video function in particular, and then send Romney
(or anyone else) a message by clicking “video” once his portal loads.
After that, have your friends and colleagues vote the question up in
the rankings to make sure it gets to his (or her respective) campaign!
