from Grayson -----My opponent is skipping tonight's debate

[babsbunny]

Dear Barbara,

That means the only way voters will hear about the issues in this race is if you talk to them.

You can start calling whenever you like, but we really need people to start calling today from 4 p.m. - 8 p.m. Eastern Time.

Can you sign up for a shift for today?

4 p.m. - 6 p.m. Sign up now
6 p.m. - 8 p.m. Sign up now

We'll give you suggestions on what to say, and a reporting tool so it's easy to let us know how it's going. If you have any problems, please email [e-mail] and we will get right back to you.

Thank you.

Truth,

Alan Grayson

P.S. -- If you don't have time today, please sign up to make calls on another day between now and Election Day, November 2. Every voter you talk to will make a difference.

Sign up now.

3. Webster to rally supporters while debate goes on.

'Republican Dan Webster will make the first stop on his five-day “F150 Pickup Truck Tour of District 8″ tonight in a final push to rally support before Election Day.

He’ll be at Central Florida Christian Academy in West Orange — his strongest base of support — at 7:30 p.m.

At the same time, the other three congressional candidates in the race — Democrat U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson, Peg Dunmire of the Florida Tea Party and independent George Metcalfe — will be deep into their final debate. Webster has refused to debate, saying he wouldn’t be able to stay positive if he had to share a stage with Grayson. At a previous debate, his absence was represented by an empty chair.

Webster’s choice for a campaign stop, the Central Florida Christian Academy at 700 Good Homes Road, is the same place he announced his candidacy back in April.

The debate, which is sponsored by Barry University, the Orlando Sentinel and WKMG-Channel 6, will be held at the Winter Park Civic Center, 1050 W. Morse Blvd. Doors open to the public at 6:30 p.m., and the debate kicks off at 7 p.m.'

4. Alan Grayson is a bully says Daniel Webster....

If indeed Grayson was a "bully"(which he is not) a strong principled man (which Webster is NOT) would stand up to him - that's how one deals with a bully, not by running away.

Of course Democratic Alan Grayson is NOT a bully - but he does want answers about Websters lying degrading attacks on him, and Grayson also believes that the people in their district should hear exactly what Republican Daniel Webster's platform & agenda will be.

That's the real reason Webster is running away!

It seems very clear to that Webster is using this tactic to avoid exposing his positions on the real issues. We don't know where Webster stands on anything, including Social Security which republicans want to privatize for corporations to make their usual trillions of dollars - Webster (as many other republicans also running this year) believes he can just win without telling us nothing.

And of course there will be a moderator directing at any debate - Webster could of had any moderator of his choice - But the REAL reason Webster refuses to debate Grayson.....is simply Webster does not have any real answers to any real problems or issues we all face and this is his way of sneaking away from the debate and being exposed and instead pointing the finger at Grayson as the reason for Webster's own ineptness!

This is truly a very cowardly & cheap shot by the republican Webster!

5. Webster must think he is ahead...

or he would be happy for another debate.
