Candidates forum in Smyrna

The Murfreesboro Post is announcing a forum for candidates for bart Gordons open seat that will be held in Smyrna.
Voters in the 6th Congressional District of Tennessee now served by retiring Rep. Bart Gordon will have a chance to question candidates hoping to win that seat at a forum set for 4:30 p.m. Saturday, May 1 at the Lancaster Christian Academy in Smyrna.

“This is a chance for anyone in the district to probe those asking for the opportunity to represent them in Washington,” Rutherford County 9.12 Project Tennessee member and forum organizer Mishelle Perkins said.
It should be noted that all CONSERVATIVE candidates who have qualified will be invited, so there is a slant to this forum.

Maybe I'm way off base here, but why would I bother going to such an event if only one side of the argument - the conservative side - is being invited?

I was thinking the same thing, but figured some might be interested. So when I said 'open forum' it should have been 'mostly open forum'. ;)

This is based on a questionnaire filled out by candidates...there is a Democrat... also its an open forum..you can send questions in to be asked to them....and why is it you dont have your own "side" of an argument...you might learn something about government going to an event like this instead of leaving a comment with obvious contempt for the whole situation
