You want this year's platform? You're going to have to wait but in the meantime enjoy these thoughtful and thought provoking questions put forth by RNC. Here are some choice questions:

Education:
Should the No Child Left Behind law be reformed, and how? Is there a problem with too much ideological dogmatism in higher education? How should the federal government respond to colleges and universities that insist upon discriminating against the United States military? Do you support homeschooling and school choice?

Energy:
What role should oil, natural gas, and coal play in our energy future? What about clean fuels such as nuclear, solar, and wind power? Given high gas prices, should the gas tax be repealed or should it be increased in order to discourage people from driving cars? Do you believe that higher gas prices are good for the nation as the New York Times recently said?

Health Care:
Would more government control improve the quality of care, your relationship with your doctor, or the prospects for new breakthrough cures? Should our nation be looking more towards Canada and England as models for health care reform, or can we find an American solution that relies on innovation, free market competition, and a focus on individual patients?

Economy:
Do you agree with the other party's position that taxes should be increased and that one of the key purposes of tax policy is to redistribute the wealth of the American people to politically favored groups? How should our tax system be reformed? You may have opinions on how best to create new jobs and keep existing ones from going overseas. What role does wasteful Washington spending play, and how can waste be cured? Do you support increased international trade?

judiciary:
How serious is the problem of judicial activism, and what can Republicans do to address it? Should judicial nominees be required to support the Second Amendment? How should the Senate treat judicial nominees who are determined to insert their personal views into the Constitution? Do you support judicial nominees like John Roberts and Sam Alito? Should a President insist on knowing exactly how a nominee will rule before he makes a nomination? Do you agree with the Supreme Court's decision giving legal rights to unlawful enemy combatants in Guantanamo Bay? What about the recent decision holding that a child rapist cannot be executed under the 8th Amendment? Past decisions on abortion?
