Go To 10 Questions for Presidential Candidates
Blackprof is a Sponsor of the 10Questions Presidential Forum, and we urge you to visit the site and post your own video questions for the presidential candidates.
During the first round (October 17 to November 14), anyone with access to YouTube, MySpace Yahoo Video, or Blip.tv can submit a video question. Videos will be collected on the main page where anyone can vote for or against them. (We’ll occasionally post on video submissions by blackprof readers—just let us know about them in the comments section to this post). At the close of round one, there will be an audit of the top vote-getters, after which the top ten videos will be presented to the candidates. During round two (November 17 to December 31), the candidates will be asked to post their replies to the top ten questions, and you get to vote on their replies. The candidates will have until December 15 to post their answers; you'll have until December 31 to vote on them. We will announce the final results at the end of this round. There are more detailed instructions on the 10Questions Presidential Forum site, but the main requirements are that the question be directed to all the candidates and use appropriate language. Obviously, shorter is usually better.
The 10Questions Presidential Forum is being produced by techPresident (disclosure: I am a contributor at techPresident) in cooperation with The New York Times editorial board, with support from MSNBC.com and sponsorship from a cross-partisan group of bloggers (For a full list, go to the Sponsors page). On a personal note, I’m happy that the list includes a significant number of blogs that focus on issues important to people of color, including AfroNetizen, BlackProf.com, ColorOfChange, Culture Kitchen, Latino Pundit, Racialicious, Pam’s House Blend, and VivirLatino. Most Americans do not live in the early primary and caucus states, and this platform provides one avenue for us to have more of a voice in the primary debate.
