I'm going to see John Kerry in Charlotte Friday!
It's a roundtable (ticketed event) and I plan to ask him a question or two.

If you have any questions you'd like answered, I'll see if some of them are brought up and will report back.

Dang...I'm really stoked about this. I've never met a President before, not even before he was elected!

1. ask if he will address the corporate aspect of the occupation of Iraq
and how it relates to the uprising there, as their people are far more aware than ours of the corruption and plundering taking place, along with the British-colonial style laws dictated by Bremer before he left as they pertained to the creation of a flat tax, corporate unaccountability, and an above-the-law status for occupiers taking up employment slots desperately needed by the Iraqis.

also, see if he will condemn, or at least promise a full and open investigation into the effects of, the usage of depleted uranium. it is poisening the environment there, killing civilians, harming our troops, and in general is an inhumane warcrime in and of itself.

2. I 've thought about asking him about depleted uranium

DU is the Agent Orange of modern warfare and it's hazardous effects are becoming more and more clear. That's a good question and if somebody else doesn't ask it first, I'll make it mine.
