On some of the other listservs, there has been a discussion on what people would want to ask candidates (regardless of party) regarding their views on adult literacy (such as adult literacy priorities, funding, etc). I am wondering what questions you may have specific to women and literacy that you would want addressed to the 2008 presidential candidates. I would be willing to pass your questions to a group called the "Literacy President Group". For the 2004 Presidential election the Literacy President Group generated the questions and sent them to both the Bush and Kerry campaigns.  Their responses were posted on the Literacy President Web page:

The Literacy President Group is gearing up for the 2008 Presidential election.  They are starting early so they can reach candidates who will be campaigning for the New
Hampshire, Iowa, and other early state primaries.  The goal is to reach each
candidate many, many times in key early primary states, so that adult literacy
is on their campaign agenda, and so that for whomever is elected, regardless
of political party, adult literacy will be a priority.
So, do you have any questions for the candidates regarding women and literacy that you would like me to pass on?
