  Well, I think that is a good one, but one that more people would like 
to see (I'm guessing here) is if he plans on legislating morals as
President, and a few examples of his business polices he has at EDS
could be referred to.

  Yeah, he should address the issue of availability, and details of how
this thing would work.  He used the CBS call-in as an example, so I'm
assuming it will be televised, in a neutral enviroment, views presented 
from both sides on an issue, and a toll-free telephone number provided.  
You can say that not everyone has a TV, but that is kind of a lame excuse.

  I'd also get him to clarify what exactly would be done with these
"voices of opinion"- would they be tallied?  Would an actual vote be 
decided on the air?    

>Mr Perot, what is your electronic mail address?
 
   THAT would be cool; I could see his mail spool overflowing 5 minutes
after he gives it out. :-)

   Maybe we can get him to start reading the net; after all, he is the
one advocating an electronically-linked society!
