Your Say: Warm up for the presidential debate

• Jobs are at the top of many people's list of concerns.
• This campaign has been filled with lies and mistruths.
• How will the candidates spur economic recovery?

We asked readers on Twitter and Facebook what they would ask the presidential candidates:

Can you help me get a job? I have been unemployed since April 2011. I have a wife and three kids, and one more on the way.

For Mitt Romney: Name three Obama regulations you would withdraw immediately.

This campaign has been filled with lies and mistruths. What can be done to unite America and bring back truth, not truth according to someone's perception, but real truth?

Letters to the editor:

To Mitt Romney: The last Republican president left our economy in a recession, with millions of jobs lost and our financial and housing markets in near collapse. If you are elected our next president, what will you do differently to ensure the situation does not repeat itself?

To President Obama: Your presidency has enjoyed a couple of years of slow job growth. What is your plan to keep the job engine humming or even possibly to increase the rate of hiring?

What would you do if the situation involving European banks worsens? What would you do if the Euro crisis worsens?
