Doug will be taking on Dede Scozzafava, who I’ve described before as “a very nice lady who is too liberal.” How liberal? She’s already getting supportive coverage from The New York Times...

I’m looking forward to a fair and open debate in the upcoming campaign – so that “we, the people” can ask questions, the candidates can give their answers and the voters can make a decision. That’s the way a representative democracy should work.

As we’ve seen this week – especially in the health care debate – that’s NOT the way the Obama/Pelosi liberals in Washington want our democracy to work.

Opponents of government-rationed health care have been compared to Nazis, by individual members of Congress (http://tinyurl.com/kk5j49) and even by the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi (http://tinyurl.com/mkkslu).

The liberals are labeling any opposition to government-run health care as “phony”: http://tinyurl.com/l7uosv

If you oppose socialized health care, the Obama Administration wants to know: http://tinyurl.com/ld9df6

And consider this breaking news from The New York Times: After pressure from the Obama Administration, Rep. Carolyn Maloney will reportedly NOT challenge Kirsten Gillibrand in the Democrats’ Senate primary: http://tinyurl.com/lcy9x2

How about that? The Obama Administration and the liberals in Washington don’t even want Democrats to debate each other.

I say let’s have a debate – because when it comes to taxes and spending, marriage and values, Big Government vs. individual freedom... these are debates that principled conservatives like Doug Hoffman can win.

How will you be taking part in this debate? Speak out in our weekly poll.

And as always, have a great weekend!
