its funny that all the people you want to ask questions are likely to respond from developed or developing nations with access to the equipment to make a video what about the rest of us who want to ask world leaders questions but cant make videos not forgetting the tens of millions who don't know about the campaign what does it help really???? my questions won't be heard or answered we'll still be hungry and silent and underpriveledged
