I KNEW that truly weird questionaire they have for volunteers was going to come up in the media. What genius came up with it? It honestly reads like a joke. I was hoping it was a 'site set up glitch' like when Campaign for Liberty's new site had a 'test blog' saying "I am Lando Carlrissian, site administrator...." I assumed it would be taken down.

What is wrong with the questionnaire? It is asked to make sure you share the views of Ron Paul.

The article didn't say anything negative about it...

As part of the selection process, an online questionnaire asks applicants their views on public policy positions using a rating scale of 1 - 5 (from strongly agree to strongly disagree) answering statements like: The 9/11 attacks were carried out by Islamic extremists connected to Al Qaeda who were the sole perpetrators of the damage that day; after a complete audit of the Federal Reserve, the Fed should be abolished; cannabis should be legalized for recreational use; and preemptive, unilateral military action is never an appropriate policy for the U.S.

Interesting. I think it is good to check where people stand on those issues before donating campaign resources to them.
