Franker-Leach debate last Saturday
From: Franker for Congress Campaign
Franker-Leach Debate last Saturday
The Dave Franker-Jim Leach debate at Kirkwood College in Cedar Rapids
this past Saturday was a clear victory for the Democratic challenger
Franker.
Watch for it soon on Iowa City (Channel 4) and Cedar Rapids (Channel
18) City Cable. For those in the other 13 counties, please contact
www.frankerforcongress.com and we will send you a copy as soon as it
becomes available, which should be just a few days.
Dave pointed out numerous recent Leach votes in Congress that the
Republican himself couldn't even recall.
Dave forced Leach to go on the defensive about his deciding vote in
favor of the Bush-Cheney prescription drug bill giveaway to the drug
industry.
Dave then unequivocally defended Social Security from any privatization
and explained how Leach's "individual accounts" were nothing more than
different words for privatization.
Dave noted the history of special education underfunding and the
deleterious effects of "No Child Left Behind's" impending sanctions and
negative labeling of Iowa teachers, students and schools while Leach,
unbelievably, said that there was no connection between special
education and "No Child Left Behind."
Next up: Franker vs. Leach on IPTV's "Iowa Press" show on Friday,
October 1, 7:30 p.m. with a replay on Sunday, October 3 at 12 noon.
