Today Charlie Brown asked John Doolittle to participate in a series of debates throughout District 4 in California. Will John respond?
Charlie is challenging the ethically challenged John Doolittle for the 4th Congressional district seat in California.
Charlie (for those of you who didn't meet him at YK2006 or see his earlier diaries here) is a 26 year veteran (Lt. Col. USAF Ret.) and is one of our fighting Dems. More about Charlie can be found at www.charliebrownforcongress.org if you'd like to see his letter to Doolittle and what Charlie stands for.
John is, well, let's just say that John is "bestest friends" with Jack Abramoff, Tom DeLay and Richard Pombo. Doolittle is the only Congressperson who has not returned the tainted Abramoff money or donated it to some worthy cause. Nope--he's keeping it!
Furthermore, Doolittle has the distinction of being the only Congressman involved in both the Abramoff scandal and the Randy "Duke" Cunningham scandal. A glowing recommendation if I ever saw one.
Charlie has asked John to meet him for a series of debates to be held throughout the District-- including one in the Truckee/Tahoe area (my region). The debates would be broadcast live on radio and television in order to make each candidate's viewpoints known to the public at large. Charlie would like at least one (if not all) of the debates to be "Town Hall" style, where we the people could ask questions of the candidates.
Please take a moment to ask Congressman Doolittle to accept Charlie's challenge and to participate in the debates. You can email Rep. Doolittle at contact@johndoolittle.com or by mail at 4120 Douglas Blvd. #306-283 Granite Bay, CA 95746.

We owe it to ourselves to become a more informed electorate and John Doolittle owes it to us, the voters of his district, to accept Charlie's challenge.
