What's your Presidential debate question?
YouTube and CNN are cosponsoring a Democratic debate on July 23rd, and a Republican debate on September 17th. YouTube has just put out a call for citizens to submit questions on video.
Can we get a question about information policy into the debate? What would be a good question? Something about the record companies suing tens of thousands of citizens, from 10-year-old girls to 66-year-old grandmothers? Something about national, affordable high-speed wireless Internet access? Net Neutrality? Internet radio?
If you have an idea for a good question, post your thoughts in the comments, or go all the way and submit a YouTube video (and then post the link in the comments!)

One good question might involve the threat to people's ability to tape their favorite shows once the digital TV revolution is complete. We may not have a broadcast flag now, but so few people are aware of the issue. Worse yet, the folks using digital cable are (or, if the content cabal has their way, will be) stuck with DTCP, OCAP, and DCAS.
It'd be a great way to let America know that their right to time-shift TV programming is under siege.
A simple question who's answer will say a lot about a politicans views on information and media technology.
"What are your thoughts on the constitutionality of the DMCA?"
