Patch Is Collecting Questions for the Next Presidential Debate
If you have a question for the candidates, submit it in the comments section below and it could be asked during the televised Oct. 16 Town Hall Presidential Debate.
If last Wednesday’s presidential debate left you with more questions than answers, here’s your chance for the presidential candidates to address the issues that most matter to you.
The next presidential debate will be a town hall meeting format at Hofstra University in Long Island, where voters will ask President Obama and Mitt Romney about domestic and foreign policy.
Patch is asking our readers to participate by submitting questions for the candidates.
All you have to do is post your question in the comments section below and we’ll send it to the Commission on Presidential Debates. The Commission is partnering with Patch's parent company Aol, along with Google and Yahoo, to take questions from web users across the country.
Don’t wait until Nov. 6 to have a say in this year’s election. Share your thoughts in the comments!

A big part of our national debt is due to the extrordinarily high cost of the Iraqui and Afghan wars. War is so costly, both in terms of money and lives. Yet only approximately 5% of our population has someone in their family who is serving.. I am from the generation that saw a military draft. I truly believe that if our young men and women were drafted today, both wars would have been ended long ago, and we likely wouldn't have started the disastrous Iraqui war. I do not propose a return to the draft, but instead, a "war tax" of 5-10% income (or sales) tax each year the USA in engaged in war. I believe it would perhaps "wake up" those of us in the general population who simply ignore the fact that the USA is indeed, engaged in war. Would you support this idea?

A temporary reduction in Social Security payroll taxes is due to expire at the end of the year. Will it be extended and, if not, what will you do to compensate the loss in the tax increase to over 160 million workers?
