3. Questions to ask our representatives, candidates for office,
and the political parties that want our money and our votes. How much do they
know and how willing are they to give us the details about where they stand
and why? Ask your elected representatives any of these Life Issue questions:
Do you think candidates should have equal time on TV and radio
to explain their ideas in detail to the public? How would you improve on the
TV "debates?
Have you and will you support limits on campaign money? If
so, what kind of limits? Why or why not?
4. Talk about your ideas with friends, family, and co-workers.
You can use these questions to start exchanging ideas:
Do we think that money given to candidates should be limited?
Do we think that candidates' own money should be limited?
How can a new candidate reach the voters and try to get their
support? What can we do to help?
Since TV is by far the best way to reach people, how can we
make sure that the candidates do their own talking so that we can judge their
ideas and their ability to get them across?
5. When you know which party, which activist organizations
