Urge Congressman Stark to debate his opponent, Eric Swalwell

The Issue

Holding a seat in Congress is not a right, it's a privilege, granted by the voters. Congressman Stark says he will not debate his opponent, Eric Swalwell, because he will be asked "stupid" questions. (SF Chronicle and ABC 7 News, 7.3.12) Let him know this is not acceptable. The voters deserve better. Congressman Stark must answer to his constituents and debate his opponent, Dublin City Councilman Eric Swalwell, to explain why he deserves re-election. Sign the petition asking him to debate!
