Great Debates 2010 – Bernero and Snyder got their invitations today

Democrat Virg Bernero and Republican Rick Snyder can square off in an hour-long debate on statewide public television at the time of their choosing this fall.

All they have to do is accept the invitation.

The Great Debates 2010 coalition of 20 statewide business, labor, education, government, and nonprofit interest groups represent literally millions of Michigan voters.

We sent invitations to Bernero and Snyder this morning.

Please urge them to participate so voters get to see vigorous, nonpartisan, face-to-face discussion of the issues this fall.

    PLEASE HAVE A DEBATE. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO HEAR WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT OUR STATE.

    I don’t see Bernero doing it. There is no way he can win a debate against Rick. I’d love to see it if you can make it happen.

    That’s great, you’re doing another debate.

    Now, why haven’t you invited Stacey Mathia from the US Taxpayers Party? Ken Proctor from the Libertarian Party?

    They will be on the ballot this November.

    Will you be extending an invitation to the Green Party or the Natural Law Party when their candidates are announced?

    If you are truly non-partisian, then these candidates should be invited.

    If not, then an explaination from The Center for Michigan is required.

    Stop on by my blog http://www.bonsaifromtheright.blogspot.com or click on my name to get there from here. We need to get active. I have a lot of Progressives on my blog that could use some smack downs of common sense. If you like to debate the issues stop on by. I’d like to see what you think about the issues.
