To: Terri Lynn Land

Why has Terri Lynn Land gone underground?

In a representative democracy candidates for public office need to show that they have the aspiration to serve the public. Her habit of dodging questions from reporters, the public and the opposing candidate suggests Ms. Land's motives are for anything but public service. Ms. Land: come out of hiding and debate Gary Peters if you hope to represent Michigan in the United States Senate.

Why is this important?

It seems that representative democracy is on the wane in the United States and is being replaced by advocacy groups with unlimited funding. To have a candidate like Ms. Land refuse even one debate with her opponent means either she is incredibly scared to air her views until after being voted into office or she simply does not care about the voters at all.
