2008 was the year of Joe's. Joe the plumber, Joe Six-Pack, Morning Joe, Joe the Biden.

In Texas, we're stretching the Joe tradition into 2009, with "Joe the likely Speaker". Since becoming the consensus candidate (and then the clear winner) in the speaker contest, his time for press has been limited. But we managed to get 30 minutes with the speaker this weekend, to ask him what YOU want to know.

So send me your questions (email address to the right) or leave them in comments. Or @reply me on Twitter. Please include your first name, home city and your question, and we'll select a few to ask Rep. Straus.

As part of the Belo nation, the interview will air in four markets -- Austin, San Antonio, Dallas and Houston. And on Texas Cable News, if you have Time Warner Cable. So it doesn't matter if you aren't from Austin, send in your questions anyway.
