We sent a camera out and asked New Hampshire residents what they'd like to ask you.
Here's the first response:
script iconDomestic 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?

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.

In January, you went to Antarctica along with Senators Susan Collins and John McCain.
Sen. Collins was quoted as saying she returned wanting to". advocate for more support for climate change research and for measures to decrease greenhouse gas emissions.
Sen. McCain said: It's happening. We are doing terrible things to future generations all over the world and the longer we wait to address this issue, the more serious the damage is."
