Your examples should be as balanced and fair as possible also. In other words, try to find examples from a candidates from all political parties. One student from your school will be allowed to ask a question of a candidate at the next debate. The debate organizers have devised a contest to choose the lucky student. To enter the contest, you have to write the question you want to ask, as well as a justification for the question that explains why the issue is important to voters and why it matters to you.
Entries are limited to one typed page.
The candidate will read the winning entry before the debate, so the background information that you provide will help the candidate understand the purpose of your question. The debate organizers will select the winner based on the originality of the question, whether others would be interested in the question, and the persuasiveness of the explanation that is included. Write your entry for the contest. Originally Posted March 27, 2001.
