FRANK WOLF IS A COWARD!!!! HIS CORPORATE OWNERS HAVEN'T GIVEN HIM PERMISSION TO DEBATE JEFF BARNETT BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY HE CAN DEFEND HIS RECORD OF SUPPORTING THE WEALTHY, DENYING THE WORKING CLASS AND MIDDLE CLASS AND KOW-TOWING TO HIS POLITICAL MASTERS IN D.C. WHO TELL HIM WHAT LEGISLATION TO SUPPORT AND WHAT TO OPPOSE AND DO NOT ALLOW HIM THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROMOTE ANY IDEA OF HIS OWN. HE HAS ALLOWED HIMSELF TO BECOME A LAPDOG, A SHADOW OF HIS FORMER POLITICAL SELF, MEANINGLESS EXCEPT AS A CONSISTENT VOTE AGAINST THE INTEREST OF THE PEOPLE OF THE 10TH DISTRICT , OF VIRGINIA AND THE NATION. THIS IS THE POLITICAL REALITY HE HAS CREATED FOR HIMSELF, AND WITH HIS REFUSAL TO DEBATE JEFF BARNETT HE HAS PUBLICLY DECLARED HIMSELF NOT WORTHY TO CONTINUE REPRESENTING THE 10TH DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA!

Barnett Calls for Open Exchange of Ideas
Rep. Frank Wolf, the 10th District’s 30-year incumbent Congressman, has refused an invitation to participate in debates across the District, the Barnett campaign reported on Wednesday. Barnett wrote to Wolf last month, proposing one debate in each County of the 10th District.
“In June, I challenged my opponent to make politics more about people – the people he represents,” Barnett said. “I suggested we debate in every county of our District because I think that voters – wherever they live – deserve to see their candidates debate the issues that matter to their communities. Having those discussions is one of the obligations – and privileges – of public service. It’s disappointing that Frank Wolf doesn’t agree.”
“Now is the time for our leaders to be discussing their differences openly,” Barnett continued. “Our economy is recovering from a staggering recession. Traffic is gridlocked. We are fighting two wars. These are times of great trial for our nation and our district, but they are also days of remarkable promise. The choice voters make this November will shape our future in profound ways. With so much at stake, it’s a shame that Frank Wolf would shy away from open debates about solving the problems we face. The 10th District deserves a Congressman who will stand up to the challenge of new ideas. The 10th District needs new leadership in Washington.”
“Frank Wolf’s office told us that one debate and one candidate forum would probably be sufficient, but the 10th District is demanding more accountability,” said Marc Abanto, Barnett's campaign manager. “Given Representative Wolf's opposition to much-needed Wall St. Reform and his longstanding support of big oil, it's no surprise that Frank Wolf is trying to limit the number of times he must publicly defend his record. Jeff Barnett will spend the month of August doing what Frank Wolf won't: having an open and vigorous discussion with voters.”
Elections shouldn’t be one-sided conversations. Frank Wolf might not be willing to talk to voters directly, but I am,” Barnett promised. “That’s why I am putting together a series of town hall meetings all across the District. I am committed to an honest discussion with Virginians of all political persuasions about our future. “The Barnett campaign has scheduled eight town hall meetings. The full Town Hall schedule will be available on Thursday, July 22nd.
