DATE: Friday, October 20, 2000 TIME: 8:00 p.m. PLACE: Ronald Reagan Building & International Trade Amphitheater (Washington, DC) Peter Baker, a reporter with The Washington Post, wrote an opinion piece today noting that the word “impeachment” never passed the lips of Bush and Gore in either of their debates, saying that “both candidates and their parties have entered into a conspiracy of silence on a topic sure to divide them and the public.” Mr. Baker’s opinion piece ran in today’s edition of The Washington Post. In order to address the impeachment and other major corruption issues facing this country, Judicial Watch is sponsoring an Ethics in Government Presidential Debate. Judicial Watch announced yesterday that Jim Bohannon, nationally syndicated radio talk show host on the Westwood One radio network, has agreed to serve as moderator for the debate, which will take place on October 20 in Washington DC’s Ronald Reagan Center at 8:00 p.m. Bohannon joins panelists Paul Rodriguez (Insight Magazine), Ellen Ratner (Fox News contributor), Joe Farah (WorldNetDaily.com), Blanquita Cullum (Radio America) and Armstrong Williams (nationally-syndicated columnist and radio host). “It is not often that I agree with a liberal reporter of The Washington Post. But Peter Baker is right. The refusal to debate ethics by the major candidates is unhealthy for the body politic. Indirectly, Peter Baker makes the case for the Judicial Watch Ethics in Government Presidential Debate,” stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman. For more information on how to attend this debate in Washington, DC, as well as Judicial Watch’s Ethics in Government Conference on October 20 and 21, 2000, respectively, call 1-800-790-9065 or visit Judicial Watch’s web site at www.JudicialWatch.org. |
