Mr. HVFVGPD Zirkle,
Due to your outrageous and hurtful comments toward African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Americans of all cultures, we decline any debates.
Your antics have caused the Republican Party (a party so many have sacrificed so much to build) great embarrassment and we refuse to stand next to you on a debate stage to avoid even the slightest appearance that you belong to the same Republican party that we do.
The Puckett for Congress campaign will do much better by going into the individual counties and sharing Luke's positive vision for the future. Luke is focused on talking about how to turn our economy around, lower the costs of health care, and defend our borders against terrorists and illegal immigrants. For you to focus on an issue like segregation, an issue so sensitive to so many people, an issue heroes of ALL races have given their blood, sweat, and tears to fight for fair opportunity, is not only irresponsible and foolish but borderline sick.
The Puckett Campaign will work hard with the Republican Party to rebuild any relationships within the African and Hispanic American Communities that you may have jeopardized by your statements.
Best Regards,
Kb

Kyle:
We now have less than 2 months before the primary. What's your campaign's position on debates? I can probably be available any night except Friday night for a debate in any of the 12 counties.
Very truly yours,
Tony Zirkle
