Vote for question on DOJ helping RIAA, directed to Pres. Obama

By Ty Rogers and Ray Beckerman

The White House has set up a link for questions to ask the President. People can vote on which questions they link.

In searching the questions just now, I came across this one:

Why do you think it's a good idea to side with the RIAA and back a 150k fine per illegal download? What possible business could any kind of government (much less the president) have to do with downloading music?

If you want to vote for that question, or ask your own, here's the link:
