Won’t you please come home, John Carter?

Mary Beth Harrell will be meeting voters in John Carter’s home town of Round Rock next week. Will Carter be there, or will he be too scared to show his face? From Harrell’s press release:

I’ve asked my opponent, John Carter, to join me in a Town Hall Meeting on September 18, 2006, in his hometown of Round Rock.

My campaign is arranging these public forums at our own expense. It takes money to rent the hall and publicize the event. So please make your contribution today!

You know that my opponent has consistently refused to participate in public candidates forums, including the one arranged by the local PBS station, KNCT-TV. Carter told the Austin-American Statesman that I’ve not “earned the right” to debate him and he would determine her “credibility.” Several newspapers in their congressional district have criticized Carter’s refusal and statements.

We are organizing Town Hall meetings around the district and inviting Carter to participate. We need your help so please make your contribution today!

Even his hometown newspaper, the Round Rock Leader Press, told Carter to show up for these forums. “The newspaper’s editorial stated that “the citizens of District 31 deserve a debate” a face to face airing of the issues.”

So with your help and contribution, we will continue to challenge Carter to show up for the voters.
