SOCIAL: No debate on Friday??? No way!

[Liz Pallatto]

Hey folks,

Got this email from Credo that I am passing on.   I can't believe this.
Now more than ever, we need to get people information about the two
candidates so they can decide.

Here is the link to the NYTimes article where McCain is saying he is
thinking about postponing the debate.

Here is the credo sign up.    I don't know if I really ever think these
things work, but a bunch of my friends work at Credo and I just am so
bummed, it seems worth it.

Subject: Tell McCain and Obama: We need a real debate on the economy.

Dear Friend,

John McCain thinks we don't need a presidential debate on Friday night. We
disagree. We need a real debate on the economy, and we need it now. The
presidential candidates should hold their debate Friday as scheduled, and
address the proposed $700 billion Wall Street bailout.

We've been hearing a lot this week about how our economy is in a crisis -
maybe the worst crisis since the Great Depression. Politicians on the left
and the right have made all kinds of claims about exactly how much or little
we should panic and what that means for the policies we should enact.

*We reject the notion that canceling the debate is the best way to focus on
the economy.* We have a monumental decision to make this November, and we
deserve a robust conversation on the defining issues of our time.

I just signed a petition calling on Senators McCain and Obama to debate
economic issues this Friday -- I hope you will too.

Please have a look and take action.
