We're having a Candidate's Debate -- Help me frame some questions please?
the setting is rural New Mexico, we have two gentlemen running for the chance to take on the republicans for the 2nd District congressional seat (vacated by Pearce (R-Oilwhore rubberstamp)

Give me some questions to ask them in the debate. beside the obvious education/military/border stuff

also we've got three guys vying for the Sheriff's office, any rural Sheriff type questions are welcome too!

Thanks!

1. ask them what they plan on doing to bridge the gap
with the upcoming Democratic administration in the White House.

What are they going to do to help out the millions without healthcare.

What legislation will they support and/or introduce to pay down the debt?

How harsh should the punishment be for the convicted greed-based corporate leaders?

How will they restore faith in the dollar?

Will they support the restoration of constitutional freedoms?

2. I just saw this video, and will post it here for you to see too.
http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/20619-war-on-greed-starring-henry-kravis-and-his-homes. It is the basis for my question about the tax loops for coorporations that prevent them from paying the same tax level on their income and less than their maid. Here is my question: Why are the tax breaks not shared?
