Russell Simmons and Dr. Benjamin Chavis of the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network, have teamed with renowned doctor and author Deepak Chopra to write an open letter to the candidates involved in the 2008 Presidential Election. The letter poses six specific questions about issues such as diversity, poverty, global warming and the war in Iraq. The letter pointedly asks each candidate what they intend to do to address these pressing issues and offers them the opportunity to have their responses disseminated, unedited, to millions of concerned voters.
