Need Opinions Please!!

[Aptastik]

I have a journalism assignment due tomorrow morning and I need to get people's opinions on the presidential election.

All I need to know is who you're supporting, why you support them, and what issue is most important to you.

I also need your name, what city you live in, how old you are, what your occupation is and either a phone number or email address in case I need to do a follow up.

Feel free to PM me the info if you prefer not posting that info on the board.

Any help I could get would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks DU!!

9. Aptastik! Kinda of lazy journalism you're practicing, no?

Why don't you go someplace people were watching the debate, and interview them in the flesh? Better hurry!

15. sorry, but I don't give on personal information to strangers, even on the internets, even on DU.

If this is for a class, and is due tomorrow, perhaps you should have been working on it already, not coming to strangers at the last minute?

[Aptastik]

16. OK

I know I have a low post count, but I am a donor. Thought I could get some help, didn't realize that a name, city, occupation, email was suspicious or asking too much. Sorry to bother you all.

18. I see you have been posting in photography group. Try there perhaps

There has been an infiltration recently of people at odds with DU progressive mentality. Since most of us don't know you, have never heard from you, asking for personal info without having a relationship already is a bit much. Sorry, but there it is. The few ruined it for the many. People have acquired stalkers, had problems at work and home, from posting personal information and better safe than sorry. Good luck.

17. Why'd you wait til the last minute to do your assignment?

And what will you be doing with this personal info you need from us? :shrug:

19. Circumstances

I had a wedding to go to this weekend and planned on getting back home early enough to do some interviews. However, I got stuck in traffic and didn't get back until right now. I was going to do some interviews before class tomorrow but was hoping to get a few more on here in case I couldn't get the 6 required.

As far as the info is concerned, I just need it for the article. It's not going to be published, just an assignment. I don't really need a phone number, just an email will be fine. I only need to get back to the person in case I need to do a follow up.

I'd try the photo group, since more people know me there, and I will, after all, be running the June Photography Contest, but the posting becomes pretty infrequent this time of night.

Just thought I'd give DU a shot for some help, but I guess on a message board this large, suspicions run high, especially with all the trolls.

If anyone feels like helping, I would appreciate it. But I understand if no one does. Again, sorry to bother.

20. instead of asking for email, use DU private messages for followup

I don't know who I will vote for, it depends on who gets the nomination. In my state the Democratic choice will be determined not by my vote. I will support whichever Dem gets the nomination, prefer not an Occupation Supporter. Most important issue is a group: Supreme Court nominations, Civil Rights, ending the Occupation of Iraq, Health care.

My name is uppityperson, you can contact me through DU pm.
