Interested in taking part in our inauguration '09 video?

As Barack Obama’s inauguration approaches, we’d like to give our readers — young and old — a chance to share their thoughts about the president-elect on video that will be published at Modbee.com.

We’re asking interested residents these three question: 1. What inspires you about President-elect Barack Obama? 2. What advice would you give to him? 3. What do you think will be the biggest task he faces when he takes office?

If you’d like to participate in the video, come down to The Bee’s offices on the corner of 14th and H streets in downtown Modesto on Tuesday, Jan. 13. From 4-7 p.m., we’ll have a video camera set up in our conference room just off our lobby for people who would like to expound on those questions. It shouldn’t take more than five minutes of your time.

If you have any questions or concerns, e-mail online news editor Brian Clark at bclark@modbee.com or call 578-2362. For more information on the inauguration, go to our inauguration page.
