If you could talk with an economist whose financial theories are currently under consideration by Obama's banking reformers, what would you say?

At BSTV, you can ask your questions and talk directly to experts, celebs, and policymakers in real time about any of the serious issues raised in our shows and comedy sketches. These free Live Debates are about making TV interactive and getting YOU involved in the controversy and debate.

We are scheduling Alec Baldwin, Chuck Norris, Michael Moore, Tea Party organizers, famous authors, economists, investment bankers, meat suppliers, genetic engineering experts, banking risk experts…take a look!
