Speaker Boehner takes your questions on YouTube as U.S. budget stand-off continues
Wednesday, February 23, 2011
With many U.S. states facing budget crises, and the President’s recent budget proposal being met with skepticism by Republicans, the financial health of the U.S. is capturing interest around the world.
As the budget debate heats up on Capitol Hill, we invite you to
submit your questions
for one of the most vocal opponents to President Obama’s proposed budget plan - Speaker of the House
John Boehner
(R-OH).
Speaker Boehner will sit down for a special YouTube interview next week, in which he’ll answer your top-voted text and video questions about the budget and spending, as well as other hot topics like the economy, jobs, health care and foreign policy.
Visit
www.youtube.com/speakerboehner
and use the Google Moderator gadget to submit your question and vote on others. Or you can tweet in your question using the hashtag #askthespeaker and it will automatically be eligible for voting in the queue.
A few things to note when asking your question:
Video questions are highly preferred (though we also accept text). Videos should be about 20 seconds long and be sure to ask the question directly.
Speak clearly and try to film in a place with minimal background noise. Keep the camera as still as possible.
Feel free to be creative (use props, charts, etc.) to help your question stand out. If you have time, find an interesting backdrop that may help reinforce your message.
Submit your question early. The final deadline to submit is Sunday, February 27 at midnight ET.
We’ll post the final interview next Friday so stay tuned to see if the Speaker answers your question.
