Everyone keeps asking the Presidential candidates: what's your plan for health care, the war in Iraq, global warming?

Year after year these critical issues aren't being addressed because wealthy special interests have more say than the average voter.

So a few days ago, I recorded my question for the YouTube/CNN debate on July 23rd: Which - if any - of the candidates support full public financing of elections?

CNN's debate moderator, Anderson Cooper, has until July 22nd to decide which questions to use.  Send him an email and ask him to choose our question.

There are too many problems that we should be fixing already - the environment, the health care system, our energy policy - but powerful special interests stand in the way with millions of dollars in campaign cash.

It's time to put the power back in the hands of the voters.  It's time to free lawmakers from the influence of big money and deep-pocketed donors.

Presidential candidates, I want to know: Are you willing to stop the money chase?
