An aide said he supported one policy, but I’d like to hear it from him and I’d also like to verify that he isn’t just playing semantic games:

Note that Fred Thompson has released a document more detailed than Romney’s in which he explicity supports this policy:

I appreciate your appreciation of my masterful use of poetic linguistic form, I work hard to be concise yet entertaining (often failing but trying).
I truly believe that we would be better off with more women running things, however, Hellary is a poor choice. Her election would set women back far more than anything I can think of. Why? Because after her nobody would ever want another.

behavior analytics. very interesting. alias, i will address your post this weekend.

I have a question about America’s small businesses and the issue of Net Neutrality.

Net Neutrality is the principle upon which the Internet was created. It says the Internet should be a free-flowing marketplace where each website is equally accessible to Internet users — and the economic marketplace and marketplace of ideas can decide the online winners and losers.

But some phone companies have said they actually want to be the gatekeepers who decide which websites open properly on people’s computers, rigging the Internet’s level playing field.

Many groups, including the Christian Coalition and Gun Owners of America, have publicly called on elected leaders to support Net Neutrality because it protects free speech online. But my question today is about small business.

My buddy, Gary Maricle, is a small businessman in Albuquerque. He owns a chili shop as well as 20 chili-related e-commerce websites like http://www.NMchili.com. When I asked him about this issue, here’s what he said:

“Small businesses like mine depends on a neutral Internet, where the website of a small entrepreneur can be viewed just as easily as the site of a big corporation. A neutral Internet allows businesses to compete on merit, not based on which company can afford to pay gatekeepers like AT&T to have their site open more quickly than their competitors. We need our public leaders to declare their support for Net Neutrality so that small businesses and everyday families have an equal right to communicate online as giant corporations.”

Gov. Romney, will you pledge today to keep the Internet marketplace gatekeeper-free by supporting the principle of Net Neutrality?

Thanks,
Adam

I’d like to see Mitt answer a question about Net Neutrality. I’ve blogged about this at TechRepublican with the conservative argument FOR and AGAINST Net Neutrality.

Keep up the great work,

David All

We can help do this at Veodia. Send us a note and we can help set it up.

My hot topics I’d like the candidates to address are:
1. How will you help accelerate US research in more sustainable energies (green, hybrid, biodiesel, etc)?
2. How can you see the federal government helping with the fledgling domestic automotive and manufacturing industries?
3. How can new technologies be integrated into government agencies to hold government workers to more accountability for their decisions?
4. With the introduction of web 2.0 innovative technologies in the consumer and corporate space, how do you see these improving the public sector?

27) National ID cards
36) eVoting… and the lack of a paper trail
38) Warrantless Internet wiretapping for the NSA
39) Legal immigration

And I would add one more to the debate:

64) Centralized media ownership (e.g. Clear Channel, especially considering Bain’s involvement) and monopolies in general (e.g. the cell phone oligarchy and subsequent lack of consumer freedom)

thank you.

2- I believe Romney made some negative comments about the democratic ‘internet-format’ debate – can’t find the reference just now, but I recall some sarcasm about not wanting to answer questions from a bunch of bloggers or sock-puppet videos (referring to the youtube question submissions). I’d like to hear his opinions on the relevance of ‘new media’ .e.g blogosphere vs. traditional news sources

3- in the michigan debate Romney made some references to ‘helping’ the region. He has ties to Detriot – what would he do to subsidize US automakers and how do you square that with allowing free-market competition so the best/greenest technologies will win?

4- Does he agree with allowing “intelligent design” aka creationism to be taught in schools, or that any state would require mention of ID as a valid alternative view in science classes?

5- I’d love to see Romney’s reaction if Ron Paul’s name gets mentioned a few times – compare and contrast himself with RP. In particular, how is it that RP has more cash-on-hand than Romney at this point, making him the #3 candidate by that measure?

1. With the increasing convergence of the internet and politics it would seem as though it is not improbable that one day voters in the United States will vote online. What are your thoughts on this? Specifically, do you think that dramatic effect this would have on campaign financing essentially make it implausible? (i.e currently the “horse race” system of politics reinforces the person/party who raises the most money, a digital revolution would essentially negate this aspect of politics, thereby marginalizing current power brokers)

2. You said, “If it means we have to go into a mosque to wiretap or a church, then that’s exactly where we are gonna go, because we are going to do whatever it takes to protect the American people.” How does this interact with the freedom of the internet? Specifically, how does this viewpoint differ from that of the Chinese government, which controls the content available to its citizen on the internet under the guise of national security? Doesn’t a free market approach–which you advocate–mean that the freedom of information and association are paramount?

- His position on “Net Neutrality”

- His position on Internet Commerce taxing

- His position on Government Education System vs Parents: Who is ultimately responsible and who is there created as a support system (looks like recently those roles have been reversed).

I look forward to this podcast. The President faces thousands of issues when in office, not just the big ones. And they will sign legislation on thousands of issues, not just the big ones.
