What would you ask the candidates?

Where do the candidates stand?

There’s lots of talk by pundits and politicians about how the mom vote matters, let’s help them walk the talk by sharing our debate questions that we’d like to see addressed.

Please use the form below to let us know you're going to submit a question to to the next Presidential debate (this coming Tuesday). We get calls every day from reporters, and this way we can let the media and the pundits know just how many moms are asking questions--and thus give your question an added punch.

As soon as you hit "Next" below, we'll redirect you to the official MySpace question submission form for you to type in your question. And, speaking of questions: We put some sample questions for you to ask on this page below the "Next" button. Feel free to cut and paste any of those questions into the box. Thanks for keeping the pressure on through the election!

Need ideas? Here are some questions you might ask the candidates:

* Right now, the birth of a child is the number one cause of a "poverty spell" in America, and 1/4 of families with young children are living in poverty. Do you support a policy to provide paid family and medical leave to parents following birth or adoption of a new child?

* Nearly 1/2 of all full-time, private sector workers in the U.S. have no paid sick days. Do you support a policy to provide paid sick days for workers to use when they or their children get sick?

* In most American families, both parents work outside the home. Please tell us what your administration would do to help parents secure excellent, affordable childcare?

* Studies show that moms are paid 73 cents and single moms are paid about 60 cents to the dollar for doing the exact same job as men. Do you support the Fair Pay Restoration Act and the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act?

* A child is born every 41 seconds without healthcare. What kind of Health Care Policy could Americans expect in your administration?
