A simple question...
Here's a question I wish I could ask the candidates, but since I can't I'll ask you guys instead. Pretend you are a Presidential candidate at a debate, and you recieve the following question:
Question: What is the best and worst aspect of the United States of America, and what as President would you do to protect the good and fix the bad?
Here's the twist; I want people to put their answer before they see anyone elses. To do that, use the [/spoiler] tags.
So here's mine:
Spoiler: "I think the best part of our country is our civil liberties; our individual freedom and our right to express ourselves without persecution. To uphold this value I would lobby for the appeal of such intrusive acts as the USAPATRIOT act, and strive for a Constitutional Amendment that provides us with a right to privacy. The worst part of our country is the divisive nature of our politics, and how we target the opponent and not side of the issues he represents. I propose an immediate demonstration of bipartisan politics; I want myself and my opponent to throw a rock concert. Actually several concerts, one in each region of the country. The goal of these events would be simple; to get young voters out of their beds and into the voting booth where they need to be! These concerts would be free (paid for our of my own campaign funds, and if my opponent wouldn't mind matching funds I wouldn't complain), and open to anyone who is a registered voter. Not a registered voter? Well fortunately we would have registration booths right there! If both myself and my opponent were to join together and show solidarity against apathy, I believe it would be a start in the fight against partisan politics."
