Things I want to Know from Political Candidates

Here is a list of some questions I want to ask all candidates. It's a bit sad that we have to ask, but things are different now. It will be good if your candidate publishes his/her answers to these questions.

I do not mean to be encyclopedic and all readers can add questions at will.
