Hello Baha’i friends, what a wonderful show. Please pass the Email along to the station management. Thank you.
Dear WXOJ:
Yours is the only radio station for this event. I’ve invited the top five Presidential candidates to debate. The details follow. The Debate is scheduled for 3-5pm Thursdays, October 2, 9, 16, 23. It is most likely that only one of these available dates will be acceptable to the optimum number of candidates. I will immediately inform you when the candidates contact me, to tell you if they’ll be here. My Email to the candidates is copied below. Thanks for all you do.
Sincerely, Norman Bie

2008 PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE on Issues
Dear Presidential Campaigns (McCain, Obama, Nader, Barr, McKinney):
You are cordially invited to debate the other four candidates at the Amherst League of Women Voters 2008 Presidential Debate on Issues, here in the Five Colleges area of Western Massachusetts. All questions supplied in advance. The first four Thursdays in October are reserved at the Bangs Community Center in downtown Amherst. The Debate runs from 3pm to 5pm. Despite our hope to have all five of you for all four dates, we realize schedules may not permit.
So, here’s our proposal: Let’s get all five candidates together on the one Thursday in October most agreeable to all five.
*If you cannot be here, you are welcome to send your Vice Presidential nominee or another surrogate;
*or you can phone in your answers live during the Debate;
*or you can videotape or audiotape your answers, to be played at the Debate;
*or you can mail or Email your answers ahead of time, to be read at the Debate;
*or we can pick a surrogate or one of your local supporters to speak for your campaign. So, please consider taking part in this simple Debate format.
Please quickly let us know:
1. Which October Thursday do you prefer?
2. Will you attend?
3. Or will you instead send your VP nominee or a different surrogate?
4. Or will you instead send your answers, to be played or read?
5. If none of the above works, we’ll pick one of your local supporters here, or the following surrogate: Republican Ron Paul, Democrat Dennis Kucinich, Independent Jesse Ventura, Libertarian George Phillies, Green Derrick Grigsby.
Thank you very much for your participation. We’ll Email the questions to you Monday, September 15, 2008, at 7am. Sincerely, Norman Bie
