"This can be can be a crash course in what people should demand from those pursuing the privilege of elected office," said Jason Rzepka, MTV's Vice President in Public affairs, who hopes to inspire a new generation of citizens who demand the best in politicians.

The public release will take place at the Republican National Convention at the end of August.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/R8S88fwHwdY/
