How to get impeachment into the July 23 Democratic presidential debate

On July 23, the Orange Revolution begins and CNN and YouTube will host a debate among the Democratic candidates for president at which they will be asked questions submitted by the public via YouTube videos. Although CNN editors have the final say over which videos are selected, a site called Community Counts has been set up to allow everybody to vote on the questions they want asked. You can see all the questions and vote for your favorites at http://www.communitycounts.us/?q=demdebate.

We're happy to report that the video question Impeachment of GW Bush; Necessary to thwart future abuses? posted by lonelygirl15 is currently the #1 most popular video and is opening up a commanding lead. Let's keep her video in first place and see if we can get a bunch of other impeachment question videos into the top ten!

You can vote on the videos by going to the Community Counts site and clicking on ANSWER if you want the question to be answered by the candidates or IGNORE if you don't think it should be posed to them. You can use the search box to find other videos about impeachment; please vote ANSWER for all of them!

If you have a video camera (even just a basic webcam) you can submit your impeachment questions at http://www.youtube.com/debates.

Here's one we'd like to see asked:

Vice President Cheney probably told his chief of staff, Scooter Libby, to commit the crime of exposing the identify of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame. But Scooter Libby lied to the Special Prosecutor, and President Bush commuted Libby's 30-month prison sentence at Cheney's urging to keep him quiet. Should Dick Cheney be impeached for conspiring to expose the identity of a CIA agent and for obstruction of justice?"

You probably have others. If you don't have a camera post your impeachment questions in the comments below for others who do have a camera and might be able to record them. Remember that these videos should be addressed to the Democratic candidates for president, and the deadline is July 22. Here are some more tips from CNN/YouTube:

* Be original
* Be personal
* Choose your focus -- you can address one or all of the candidates
* Keep it to less than 30 seconds
* Make it look good -- speak loudly and keep that camera steady
* In your question or video description, include your name & home town
