There is an effort to duplicate the CNN-Youtube partnership that brought questions from netizens to the American primary election presidential candidates. The site Peopo.com is spearheading the effort in partnership with other media entities. More information here.
Having felt the nascent power of and feeling of community from foreign bloggers in Taiwan through the recent get-together in Hsinchuang (and through on-going and growing contact online), I now feel strongly that foreigners should try to participate more fully in society and communities here. We should have a voice.
As such, I encourage you to consider recording a video question for DDP candidate, Frank Hsieh (謝長廷) and his Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) rival Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九). If you need help with the Chinese on the site, I can help you.

Maybe I should ask Hsieh or Ma why only 11 Americans have been able to be naturalized in their country while 10,000 Taiwanese are naturalized in mine every year (including, possibly, one of the candidates). Or why I can't get a local credit card even though the Constitution of Taiwan ensures that people in Taiwan will not be discriminated against based on their race.
Yes! Need me to record you?
What we really need is a NAAFP -- National Association for the Advancement of Foreign People.
