Subject: RE: BS: An End to American Politics as Usual?
All presidential candidates, Republican and Democrat, are being sent the following questions in an email campaign by Unity08. It will be interesting to see who responds and how they answer. This should trigger the first national coverage by the popular press of this movement.

"1. Please list 2-3 bipartisanship efforts that you clearly remember as making a positive difference for our country.

2. Name three currently-serving elected officials, not of your own party, whose contributions to the public good you most admire.

3. What do you consider the three most crucial challenges that the next president will confront? Are any of them likely to be met fully without some significant bipartisan cooperation?

4. Will you commit, if elected, to appointing at least three members of your cabinet from outside your own party?

5."Yes" or "No - would you consider running for president in the general election with a vice presidential candidate from outside your party?"
