Dear Church of Reality Members,

I am in the process of creating a candidate questionnaire. These are questions sent to political campaigns asking candidates where they stand on specific issues. I plan to give one of these to Bill Clinton when I see him this Friday. I just started writing questions and this is what I have so far. Looking for ideas.

2008 Candidate Questionnaire

Dear Candidate,

The Church Reality is a religion based on believing in everything that is real. We are the Reality based community and we consider Reality as something sacred. If not for Reality, we wouldn’t be here. Our membership has strong Reality based values and our religion requires its members to vote. Our view is that if you don’t vote then you don’t really care about Reality. We identify ourselves as Realists and we put Reality first in our lives.

We would appreciate it if you would take a few minutes to fill out our candidate questionnaire so we can let our membership understand your views so that we can determine if you will make a good leader.
