WASHINGTON – Do you have what it takes to ask the really tough questions of the leading presidential candidates?

Are you an aspiring video journalist who is sick and tired of the softballs tossed to John McCain and Barack Obama by the Big Media stars?

Would you like to make a quick $1,000 just for exercising your First Amendment rights?

This may be your big chance.

WND is willing to pay top dollar to anyone willing and able to ask the tough questions – the really tough questions – still going unasked in this presidential campaign.

For some time, WND has been collecting "the tough questions" for McCain and Obama on two reader forums. Now it's time to start asking them – and WND needs your help.

(Story continues below)

If you've got a video camera and can get access to McCain or Obama before the presidential election, WND will pay you $1,000 for exclusive rights to one or more of these tough questions and answers:

For McCain:

• "You say you are for energy independence, Why then were you one of the few Republican senators who voted against drilling at ANWAR – legislation that could have spared all the pain Americans are feeling at the gas pump right now?"

• "Are you prepared to defend the Second Amendment and veto any moves to reinstate the so-called 'assault weapons ban?'"

• "How can a man who formed the Gang of 14 to defeat President Bush's next judicial nominees be entrusted by Republicans to select good judges as president?"

• "Will you complete the building of the border fence between the U.S. and Mexico?"

For Obama:

• "You suggested recently that taxpayers should pay reparations to blacks and native Americans for injustices of the past. Is that a campaign promise?"

• "Do you still believe we can save as much fuel by filling tires as drilling for new oil? Or have you seen the light?"

• "Prior to your brief career in politics, which job has best prepared you to cope with the challenges of being president?"

• "Do you still believe it should be illegal to offer life-saving treatment to babies born alive after unsuccessful abortions?"

These are just sample questions. Perhaps you've got a better one. If approved by WND, we'll still pay you $1,000 for the exclusive rights to the video of the question and answer.

So, what do you have to lose?
