John Dennis Challenges Nancy Pelosi To A Televised Debate On Issues That Matter To Voters In The 8th District Of California

Congressional Candidate John Dennis personally delivers formal debate invitation To Pelosi's San Francisco Federal District Office. San Francisco, CA -- Congressional candidate John Dennis personally delivered a formal invitation to debate to the offices of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, located in the new downtown Federal Building (California 8th Congressional District, San Francisco, CA).

The written debate invitation, which included a request for response from the Congresswoman by Wednesday, September 22nd, was accepted by a staff member and delivered to Pelosi's District Director.

"The voters need to compare and contrast our positions on the critical issues facing the district and the nation," John Dennis said. "They need to know why she has turned her back on our district and reversed her position on many key issues. Ms. Pelosi has never explained these reversals, ranging from her support of the Patriot Act to voting to continue the Afghanistan war to supporting bank bailouts. Voters deserve to see how we compare on issues that affect every citizen in our district. This can only happen in a formal debate aired throughout San Francisco."

The John Dennis campaign will be posting a "Debate Watch" clock at the Campaign website. It will track the time it takes for Congresswoman Pelosi to respond to John Dennis' invitation. The Campaign will also post an online petition for visitors to sign which will urge Pelosi to accept John Dennis' invitation.

“Families, homeowners and small business owners are struggling under mounds of debt and taxes,” added Dennis. “The wars wage on, the federal government continues to recklessly spend and the economy is not getting better. Under Pelosi’s leadership, Washington has created failed policies and excuses that need to be debated in a fair and honest forum.”

The John Dennis for Congress campaign offered to cover the logistic expenses of a televised debate, in order to save taxpayer dollars.
