What You Can Do To Get More Voices Heard During The Presidential Election
On July 23, the Democratic Party is sanctioning a Democratic presidential debate sponsored by CNN and YouTube that embraces the potential of web participation. Voters can film themselves asking the candidates questions and upload the video to YouTube. The night of the debate, CNN and YouTube will play those questions for the Democratic presidential candidates.
The only problem is that most of the users who use YouTube have two things that not all Americans have: a video camera and a high speed internet connection that allows them to upload and view video easily online. YouTube, CNN and the Democratic Party are trying to change that by asking YouTube users to record the questions of who don't have an internet connection or a camera.
You can take your camera to a nursing home, community center or to the home of a family members who isn’t connected. Record their question to the Democratic presidential candidates and have those questions uploaded to the CNN & YouTube debate section of the YouTube website.
