We sent a camera out and asked New Hampshire residents what they'd like to ask you. Here's the first response: |
| Domestic Spying Return to index of stories... |
Last December, the New York Times revealed that President Bush had authorized a domestic surveillance program that included eavesdropping on Americans. Do you think that should be stopped - or specifically authorized? |
| Medicare sot Return to index of stories... |
Moving now to what a lot of people are talking about -- Medicare and the new prescription drug plan. Here's what one voter had to say: There is a big painted bus touting Medicare Part D - the pharmaceutical plan - it's now touring the state, trying to enlist seniors - most of whom have been very reluctant to sign up, you were one of the few Republicans who voted against that plan in 2003. |
