Hi,

I'm a reporter for Wikinews, and I'd like to interview you for our 2008 Presidential election coverage.

We had planned coverage of the independent and third party candidates a while back, and I contacted many of you then, but due to some delays, it was pushed back until now.

Posted below are a series of questions. Most are for all candidates, but the second question is worded two ways, one for third party candidates, another way for independents. Same base question, just the slightest of changes. The questions have word limits, please respect them. I only put these in place to remind you that most voters appreciate politicians getting to the point.

Anyway, whenever you can return this interview to me, I will publish it on Wikinews, and link to it from Wikipedia.

Thanks, Nick Moreau Accredited reporter Wikinews
