Ask John Yourself!
Share
UPDATE [1:45 p.m.]: If you missed today’s webcast of John Edwards answering live questions at UNH and from people online, don’t despair. It’s being re-broadcast tonight at 7:00 p.m. on MTV. I don’t want to give too much away, but ONE did play a role and we learned more about Edwards’ position on global AIDS.
Today at noon, YOU’LL have the chance to ask Senator John Edwards a question when he sits down with MTV, MySpace and a college audience at the University of New Hampshire.
No more tired questions from talking heads. You’ll get to submit your questions online in real time and hear them read by MTV correspondents. This is your chance to ask John Edwards – and in the weeks ahead all the other major presidential candidates from both parties – hard-hitting questions about what the next president should do to fight extreme poverty and global disease.
Here’s how to get in on the action:
- Visit our question page for advice how to formulate a question about extreme poverty.
- Watch the MTV/MySpace Presidential Dialogue with John Edwards live today online at 12:00 p.m. EST on MTV.com or MySpace.com/election2008.
- During the debate, submit your question for John Edwards on MTV.com, or through MySpaceIM.
- Use the live polling feature to rate each answer either: ‘agree,’ ‘disagree,’ ‘full of bull,’ ’scripted/canned,’ ’sincere/authentic,’ or ‘well argued.’
- Stay tuned and let’s hear how John Edwards plans to end poverty if he’s elected president.
- If you can’t watch live, it’ll be broadcast on MTV tonight at 7:00 p.m. EST.
Remember to include in your question that you’re a member of the ONE Campaign, a movement of over 2 million Americans working together as ONE to end extreme poverty and global disease and save millions of lives in the world’s poorest countries.

Watched you today at Giggin Goat rest., very impressive! Here’s something I wish you’d talk about because I think it’s important. The millions of homeless teenagers and such. Why not enroll ones that would be eligible, to work our farms and get rid of the illegal aliens. That would give these people something to strive for if they were housed, fed and taught a better way of life. With a little help from the government to the farmers this would stop these kids from becoming hardened criminals. I’m afraid that in the future they will be a threat to society. If you think about it I’m sure you could see how a program like that would work.
Here’s an other question. How about talking about the lousy increase in social security benefits that this administration had to offer. I hear it’s the lowest increase ever. I need more than $12 more a month.

WELL I HOPE YOU GOT MY FIRST MESSAGE AND HOW’S THIS QUESTION? I’D LIKE TO HEAR YOU START TALKING ABOUT ONE WAY I THINK WE COULD HELP PAY OFF THE NATIONAL DEBT THAT BUSH AND HIS GANG HAVE CREATED.
AFTER THE ELECTION, AND I KNOW THE DEMOCRATS ARE GOING TO WIN. I THINK THAT ALL THOSE COMPANYS THAT PROFITED FROM BUSS’S WAR BE BROUHT TO TRIAL ON CRIMINAL CHARGES. WHATEVER PROFIT THEY ACHIEV ED OVER AND ABOVE NORMAL SHOULD BE PAID TO THE GOVERNMENT TO HELP IN REDUCING THE NATIONAL DEBT.
