We the undersigned are fed up with politics-as-usual, including poll-driven sound bites crafted behind closed doors by for-hire political marketing professionals.
These do not add to any real understanding of the issues at stake. The American people deserve better. We are not buying a bar of soap. We want real debates on issues of importance.
We agree with Richard A. Viguerie and other conservative leaders that American foreign policy and the Iraq war are crucial issues that deserve in-depth discussions.
It is obvious from the Republican presidential debates held so far that you both have strong but divergent opinions about these vital matters. Both of you are knowledgeable and articulate on the subject.
You have the capability to recreate the famed Lincoln-Douglas debates on the foremost issue of our day. Let's do it!
The sponsors and co-sponsors of this petition will be contacting you to request that you agree to a one-on-one debate on the issue of American foreign policy and the Iraq war.
We the signers of this petition strongly urge you to accept that challenge.
