WHYY has embarked on an experimental project for this Republican convention week. We gave four local individuals access to a digital video camera and asked each one to chronicle a political issue that means something to them. The result: their reports appeared during WHYY's Skybox Live programs hosted from the convention floor, and now they're on this Web site.

• Mike Klingler, an inner-city school teacher, delivers a digital op-ed piece on education reform. Watch the report on RealVideo.

• Simeon Poles, a Temple University grad, asks his friends and acquaintances whether there is a place for minorities in the Republican party. Watch the report on RealVideo.

• Jonathan Black, a retired professor, asks whether religion mixes with politics. Watch the report on RealVideo.

• Lois Downey, a lawyer and "soccer mom," takes on gun control. Watch the report on RealVideo.
