New Ad: CINDY SHEEHAN Appeals to Clinton to Debate Jonathan

Submitted by Stephanie Cannon on August 31, 2006 - 9:04am.

Hillary Clinton continues to show little respect for voters and democracy. She is hiding from her record, refusing to debate Jonathan in an open forum. We're taking our case to the voters beginning with this radio ad appeal from Cindy Sheehan. Click here to load the ad in your MP3 player or click the arrow below >

After you've listened to the spot, please donate as much as you can so that we can spread our word to the voters by airing this ad on radio stations throughout New York.

Newspapers all across the state, including The New York Times and The New York Post are saying that Jonathan Tasini and Hillary Clinton should face off in a debate so that voters can make an informed decision on September 12th. As the Times recently noted, the incumbent has dodged the chance to agree to debate but, then, says, "She should change her mind. In a year when New York has very few competitive elections, voters are going to get very little chance to hear serious discussions from the candidates. Since Mr. Tasini is running an antiwar campaign, it would be very useful for New Yorkers to have a chance to hear the two Democratic candidates debate that one issue."

The politicians are our representatives, so if she refuses to debate, she is snubbing us and I take that as a personal insult. Why vote for someone if they refuse to debate to allow us to hear their views? What is Hillary Clinton afraid of?

I would have preferred an ad in which Mr. Tasini rather than the somewhat flaky Cindy Sheehan addresses the listeners, and I also would have preferred one in which he put forth his ideas instead of criticising the votes of Sen. Clinton, which are familiar to Air America listeners.

Excuse me, but what was your last statement based on? How can you say Cindy Sheehan is a flake? Cindy has devoted her life to seaking out injustices and continues to make great strides with her mission. She has her facts, she has strong arguements and in my opinion represents those of us who otherwise don't feel our voices are heard. If I understand her message properly, Cindy just wants a debate. Our politicians, which including Senator Clinton, need to start talking because we are ready to listen. If we don't continue to challenges those in authority then we will continue to have bad representation in the White House. That's the whole point in Democracy right?

You might want check your grammar the next time you want a post to be taken seriously.

Well let's see if we could donate more money to his campaign so he could get out more messages!
