ONE Question
Okay, so the last debates before Super Tuesday are being held in the next two days on CNN. January 30th is the Republican Debate and January 31st is the Democratic Debate. And, since we are the coolest (i.e. most technologically advanced) generation, we get to submit questions to the candidates through an online tool on Politico.com.
Well, I just looked through the 626 questions in the “foreign policy (not Iraq)” category on the Democratic side and, to my dismay, only found 4 questions that relate to global poverty!!
So I know this is a last minute blog, but they are still accepting questions for the democratic debate. I really encourage you all to get on there and either write a question about extreme poverty or vote for one! It literally takes a minute, and I think it’s a great way to show the candidates that we care about this issue and perhaps get the issue talked about on a nationally televised debate!
Oh, and if you need an extra push: you can snag some OCC points for each question under the “make your own action” category!

Hey, I added a question about the millennium development goals. Go vote for it!!

Awesome, I just voted for your question! If anyone else wants to vote, just organize them by category, look in the foreign policy category and find #1452 on Millennium Development Goals. Vote for mine too, it’s #1511!
