The candidate is at fault. The overly committed (in more ways than one)
volunteer putting this together needs candidates to voluntarily submit
screening questionnaires to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I refuse to beg, though!
If you see a questionnaire on the toolkit page, rest assured the
candidate or her/his campaign has taken the initiative....

Also, a strong advisory (though not a list rule yet):

Members - please try to limit your use of all-caps (LIKE THIS) to a few
words per post. Lots of all-caps has long been considered "shouting" in
Internet circles (so-called Netiquette) and given that we try to be
civil on the list, I try to discourage lots of all-caps.

Also, I would strongly suggest all members be sure to paragraph their
responses - it is really, really hard to read a steady stream of
un-paragraphed sentences...and getting read is why you write this stuff,
isn't it?

Finally, Robert Lilligren's Sierra questionnaire has been posted to the
toolkit page (hey, Sierra Club, look at all the publicity!!):
