ok, loungers.... help me out here

[Ava]

i'm going to be working on a viral video project about youth activism and awareness soon, and part of it is going to be me hitting the streets and doing some candid interviews with young people about the election and issues they care about, along with a short on camera quiz section to (hopefully) prove that there are some young people out there who keep up with what's going on in the world today. do you all have any suggestions for the quiz portion of the interviews?

1. Who is the Speaker of the house?

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

2. questions

definitely some questions

[derby378]

3. Ask to see how many amendments in the Bill of Rights they can remember without a cheat sheet

No small feat - I might be able to give you six out of ten amendments, myself.

4. just some thoughts . . .

How do you feel about . . .

the War in Iraq?
Global Warming? The Environment in general,
Education?
Poverty

& the candidates running for President?

If you could give advice to ____________ (candidate) what would it be?

If you were President, what would be your priorities when you entered office?

How do you feel Congress is doing?

Do you volunteer? Where?

What do you think you will inherit in this country/world when you're 30 years old.

5. Great!

-What is your most important issue right now?
-What would you like to see change?
-What are you worried will change for the worse?

Good on you Ava (great questions mzteris!)

6. Do you have a demographic target?

If it's teenagers/high schoolers, I'd make it very simple. "What is your biggest concern with where our government is headed?" "What would you suggest or change if you had the chance?"

I think that would be primal, and good.

7. There's always the 'Name three Hollywood actors. Now name three current US politicians." :P

See how many people can answer the second as quickly as the first.

[Whoa_Nelly]

8. Ask about wire tapping

Ask if they know the amendments 1-10
Ask if they know their rights and what they are


Have them tell you what they know about Obama and McCain


Be to sure ask if they are turning 18 before the general election and if they plan on registering to vote, and if so, will they vote
(maybe have literature/flyer handy to give to those who want to know where they can register to vote in person/online.)
