John Edwards Answers The 10 Questions
December 12, 2007, 9:38pm
Democrat John Edwards has become the second presidential candidate to join the voter-generated video debate at 10Questions.com — and the first to answer all 10 questions selected by users of the site. (Republican Mike Huckabee was the first to participate, but he answered only nine of the questions.)
The No. 1 question as chosen by 10Questions users focuses on “network neutrality,” a term used to describe the push for a government mandate on communications network owners to treat high-speed Internet content equally.
“What we have to make certain,” Edwards said, “is that the Net does not go the way of broadcast television and commercial radio, where only a few corporate voices are heard.”
Here’s a link-heavy guide to the other nine questions and Edwards’ responses:
- Is America a theocracy? (Answer)
- Should the federal government allow medical marijuana? (Answer)
- What will you, as president, do to protect Americans from wiretaps without warrants? (Answer)
- Would you agree to campaign reforms designed to take well-funded special interests out of politics? (Answer)
- Will you pledge to abolish “corporate personhood“? (Answer)
- How would you make the government more transparent and increase media and public access to the White House? (Answer)
- What will you do to fix our election system, and should Election Day be changed? (Answer)
- How much do you pledge to reduce the size of government in your first term? (Answer)
- How do you defend the existence of the “unconstitutional” two-party system?(Answer)
