My sister is involved in a video project at school and I promised I would try and help her out by posting her questions in this forum. I hope you don't mind!

She's writing a ficticious campaign ad that involves everyday Americans taking about how their lives have been personally affected by the economy and the Iraq war. (whether good or bad) She's really stressed because she's got a pretty full schedule and may not have the time to actually go out and speak to people (other than maybe a few immediate family members!)

So to cover all her bases, she thought maybe people could respond to the following questions, and then she would write them into sound bites. Her idea is to do some voice overs while showing images of America and the war.

Here are the 2 Topics:

The Economy

Iraq War/ Foreign Policy

Pretend you are being interviewed by an actual reporter:

1.How do you feel about the current state of our economy, and how has it personally affected your life? Do you find it difficult to make ends meet? Do you believe we are on the verge of an economic collapse? What changes would you like to see take place? Please share you opinions/story.

2.How do you feel about The Iraq war and our foreign policy in general? Did you support the war from the start and then change your mind? Or have you always supported it? Has it personally affected your life in any way? Do you believe that our foreign policy keeps us safe or puts us more at risk? Please share you opinions/story.

If you have the time, we would deeply appreciate anything you have to share. No matter how brief or long. I just thought this would be the perfect forum for these questions, as we have such a diverse crowd of Americans here from all over the country. Thanks in advance!
