So far, Marsha is silent on the request. Scared, maybe? I'm sure she's dreaming up a great smear campaign but how would she ever get through a debate??

Dear Marsha:
Time grows short; we have less than seven weeks before the start of early voting. The voters of the 7th Congressional District deserve to know if they can lend approval to your voting record or elect me. Your constituency wants an honest debate of the issues that matter most to them. This year it really makes no difference whether one is a Republican or a Democrat. It is important that the representative who is elected truly understands the needs of the people of this district and is willing to take a stand based on principle---not special interest money.
My intent is to accept opportunities for debate anywhere, anytime. Frankly, I will be puzzled if you do not rise to the challenge to defend your record. I look forward to discussing the issues with you in a public forum where the voters may address questions and get real answers. Debates are the best examples of our democracy at work.
I know you will agree with me as to the importance of this election and how we should engage our fellow Tennesseans with a real campaign on the issues. Simply stated, the voters want to know and you have the power to provide them with this opportunity. All we are asking is for you to agree to debate us on the issues.
Ignoring this request for debate, not only from me, but also from your constituents, shows a lack of respect and accountability to the voters of the 7th Congressional District. Elected officials are, after all, public servants and serve at the will of the people.
Respectfully,
Bill Morrison
