Dear Congressman Goodlatte, 
It is time to stop refusing to answer to voters and explain your record in debates with your primary opponent Karen Kwiatkowski. 
Mr. Goodlatte, if you wanted a job at McDonald's you would have to go through a job interview, yet you have such contempt for your constituents that you believe you can skip an interview process for your job in Congress. 
Are you avoiding debates because you know that you have made a career of voting on both sides of issues like funding Planned Parenthood and suspending the right to trial by jury?  
Or is it that are embarrassed that for 20 years until April 18, 2012 you refused to sponsor the Life at Conception Act?  
Whatever your reason, you have a duty to debate. 
It is the foundation of a free society to have an educated electorate. 
I urge you to come clean and debate Karen Kwiatkowski.  
You owe it to the electorate to through the job interview process with your management team - the voters.

Goodlatte remains silent while he hides from any public scrutiny of his record. His refusal to face Karen Kwiatkowski proves he thinks he is entitled to his seat without ever answering to the people he serves.

Goodlatte thinks he can hide from us indefinitely but this surge of support proves he is running out of places to duck. We are forcing him to face the reality that he works for us and cannot just ignore the people he represents.

Bob acts like he is royalty. If your record is so great stand behind it in front of the public.

What is he so afraid of? If he has nothing to hide he should have no problem debating her. Show up Bob.

I am sick of career politicians hiding from their own voters. Debate her or step down.

Kwiatkowski is right. Goodlatte is just lazy and arrogant.
