A few days ago I wrote about an idea for a web-based debate between candidates. When I met with other bloggers in our community, we had plenty of good ideas…but we kept looking at that calendar and realizing we had very little time and no guarantee the candidates would even respond. So we came up with a better plan. We are starting by posting this:
What question would you ask Congressional candidates Stephen Lynch and Mac D’Alessandro to answer if you had the chance? The editors of community web sites from Milton (02186 MyTownMatters), Dedham (MyDedham), and Westwood (Our Westwood) are inviting you to submit your questions as comments below from now until August 31. We will select 10 questions and submit those to both campaigns, then publish their responses online before the September 14 Democratic Primary.
If you are a constituent, go to one of our sites to submit your questions.
I wish I had a time machine to go back about a month because I really think a regional effort like this could make a difference in how we debate issues. I wish I had time to find more sites in the neighboring communities and talk to more people. But we’ll start with our 3 towns and see where it goes…
