Pose candidate questions mainstream media won't

Sen. John McCain

Three members of the U.S. Senate: John McCain, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. One of them more than likely will be your next president, with all of the power to direct economic, security and foreign relations policies that goes with it. And no one is asking them the questions you want answered about mortgage rates, homosexual promotions in public schools, the war on terror and other issues.

WorldNetDaily is offering you an opportunity to define those issues, and pose those new questions to the three considered the frontrunners in the 2008 presidential election: Republican McCain and Democrats Obama and Clinton.

At Forums.WND.com, the home page for such interactive features at WND.com, three new pages have been created allowing readers to suggest the questions American really wants answered by McCain, the Arizona senator who once served timed as a prisoner of war and now is the standard-bearer for the GOP; Obama, the newcomer from Illinois with his charismatic persona; and Clinton, who is counting on her years of experience working with husband Bill Clinton while he was president to fetch attention.

Sen. Hillary Clinton

Clinton already has been first lady of Arkansas, first lady of the United States now wants to be the first lady president.

She credits herself with advocating for children and families ever since 2000 when she moved out of the White House and moved into the office of New York's junior senator. She also says she's a national leader on homeland security.

Do you have questions about the Rose Law Firm billing records, the Clintons' relationship with Hollywood entrepreneur Peter Paul, or what really happened in Bosnia?

Sen. Barack Obama

Obama is serving his first team in the U.S. Senate and boasts he has traveled to Russia. He also says he has worked on "tackling the challenges of a globalized, 21st century world," and he has dedicated his efforts to the poverty exposed by Katrina, campaigns of genocide in Darfur and the "role of faith" in politics.

He talks of change and addressing the issues that will define America.

This is your opportunity to ask questions about his repeatedly renewed endorsements from a racist organization as well as Obama's longterm relationship with a pastor who calls on God to "damn" America and accuses the U.S. of spreading AIDS.

Sen. McCain has served in Washington since being elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1982, and many times has stepped across the aisle from his Republican moorings to work with Democrats and others. For example, he's worked hard on campaign financing as well as global warming.

Now's your opportunity to pose such questions as: "What is the compelling evidence you have seen to suggest man-made, catastrophic global warming is a legitimate threat to the world and that there is something governments can do to prevent or minimize it?"

While your venting about the presidential candidates, be sure to take a look at WND's other Forums, including the new debate over incandescent bulbs that lets you tell Washington just what it should be doing.

And don't miss the chance to offer a suggestion to the Operations Spike Forum, newly updated for 2008.

That's where you can offer suggestions for the most under-reported stories of the year, a compilation WND has been assembling since 1997.

These are the stories that are ignored or glossed over by all but a few news agencies, stories that deserve far more attention than they are getting. One recent post there, by "erniedavidson," had the makings of every editor's dream: content, controversy and brevity. That posting? "Ron Paul."

Also online at WND Forums:

• Chuck Norris Laughlines allows you to list your favorite jokes about the action star. Pull from the 50,000 or so floating around the Internet on hundreds of sites or create your own. Let's just say we're creating a vulgarity-free zone – all the "Chuck Norris Facts," all in good taste.
• Then there is an old favorite for long-time WND fans – "Mr. President!" This is the only forum in the world where you get to pose questions to the most powerful man in the world and we actually ask them ? at least some of them. Come up with a good one for George Bush and you may hear it asked at the next press conference by our White House correspondent.
  
• Have you ever felt like you should be running WND? Are you a news junkie? Are you on top of breaking news? Well, now you can actually help us stay on top of it all by posting the hottest stories on the "You Be the News Editor" forum. You won't just be informing those reading the forum, you may be informing WND editors who will check it along with their other stops on the Net. Who knows? This could be your big break into the news business.
• Then there's BlogNetDaily. This one has been a long time coming. This is your place to sound off about what's happening in the news. Care to comment on the big story of the day? Maybe you want to say something about your favorite – or least favorite – columnist. This is the place.
• Next is "Assignment Desk." Not to be confused with "You Be the News Editor," where you post breaking news first, this feature is where you post the assignments for the WND news team. We can't promise we'll get to them all. But, if we don't, maybe some other enterprising news organization will. Is everybody missing the boat on some big story you know about? Let us know at "Assignment Desk."
• Every news editor at WND will be grateful for your participating in "Your Best Poll Ideas." It's not easy coming up with an original poll question seven days a week. So we're soliciting your help at this forum. Make sure you ask the question and provide a balanced set of answers if you want to see your poll on the front page.
• And there's the WND Daily Poll. Sometimes you want to have your say, too. That's the purpose of "Comment on Today's Poll," which is linked on every poll. First take the poll, then click on over to the forum.

One requirement of participation in these moderated polls is that you avoid any inappropriate language. ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX may not have standards, but WND does. If you wouldn't want your 6-year-old daughter reading it, don't bother writing it.

There also are forums called "Ask the Candidates," where you can pose questions for presidential wannabes, the self-explanatory "Great Global Warming Debate," and the Rick Warren debate.

Check out all the new WND Forums.
