This is a recent trend that I date back to the townhall meetings of 2010 that really woke up the conservative base.

Remember when Arlen Specter was shouted down during a townhall meeting during his last run at the Senate?

Well, now all politicians are avoiding the townhall event, instead opting for "virtual" townhalls held over conference calls on telephones.

And now they are avoiding public debates, too.

I ran against our establishment GOP incumbent governor this year in the primary.

He wouldn’t debate me either.

A gross disservice to We the People, IMO.
