What will your candidate do about Blackwater?
Will your candidate pledge to NOT hire Blackwater USA or any other private mercenary army on foreign AND domestic soil?

If you're not worried about this private army, you aren't watching Ken Burns on WW2 or the History Channel.

Will YOU ask your candidate the question? Get a pledge, if you can. And make news about it by writing your local newspaper editor.

1. Yeah, right. I can just imagine any of the Annointed Frontrunners taking such a pledge
The universe will collapse back into Brahma's belly-button first. :eyes:

5. Who's running the next "debate"? Can we request the question
be asked? It's pretty damn important.

8. Kucinich's views are like night and day
when contrasted with the views of the establishment candidates.

11. Does it?
I haven't watched any debates this time around. Are they actually addressing the points he raises, or just ignoring them entirely, seeing as how he's an 'also-ran'?
