So the Guilford County delegation will hold their
annual Take it to Raleigh meeting in a couple weeks. But maybe you don't want to schlep to the Melvin Municipal Building; maybe the meeting time conflicts with your weekly Canasta game; maybe American Idol Season 8 is really just that compelling.

My friends, I'm here to help.

If you have a question for one of the ten honorables who represent Guilford County, send them my way. The easiest thing to do is leave a comment on this post, but I'll take them by e-mail too: mark.binker@news-record.com.

A few ground rules:

• *I may actually consider a question aimed at someone who represents Alamance, Davidson, Rockingham or Randolph if it's a particularly good one ... I'm capricious like that.

• * I am not going to lobby for you. If your question is something like, "Would you please support a bill to name March National Fuzzy Kitty Month," keep it. However, something like “Why do you support or oppose legislation to make March National Fuzzy Kitty Month” is dandy.

• * I will not deliver insults veiled as questions.

• * I reserve the right to reject any question because it's been asked and answered repeatedly, because it makes no darned sense or because I'm feeling cantankerous that day and that's just how it is.

Otherwise, fire away. Do you want to know how a legislator feels about a particular bill? Do you want to know how they prefer to get questions from the public? Do you have a question about something on their campaign finance report? Are you just looking for a good restaurant tip and think they might know a place?

Let's have 'em.
