Campaiging in Florida today, Fred Thompson vowed to continue the embargo on Cuba as President, and even said he would have his Attorney General look into a possible indictment of Castro's brother Raul for the shooting down of two "Brothers to the Rescue" planes in 1996:

"Thompson, appearing at the Little Havana eatery in front of a mostly Cuban-American crowd, also said he would maintain the embargo on Cuba if he were elected president."

''Castro is a dictator; he's the head of state-sponsored terrorism............

Firm grip on the obvious, I see.

Fred is going all out for the Cuban vote in Florida. Probably a good strategy in a key state.

Would someone get him to comment on tax policy, and Romney’s proposal. Surely the future of US taxes is more important to voters than Castro’s brother.

You can ask him yourself at Ask Fred:
Fred’s running a different kind of campaign. Part of that is hearing from you. Fred wants questions from Americans. And not softballs. Fred knows there are pressing issues facing our nation and wants to hear your concerns.

We’ve gotten some great weblogs to help us sort through them. Go to GraniteGrok, Weekend Pundit, Instapundit, Right Wing News, Captain’s Quarters, or Redstate and leave a question. The webloggers will sift through the selections and send the best ones to Fred. While he’s on the road he’ll answer a few daily by video which we’ll post to the Fred File.

UPDATE: David Kopel at The Volokh Conspiracy is also asking for questions. He’s specifically looking for legal ones.
