Billy Long now Dodging Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce Candidate Forums

Small businessman and Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce member Billy Long is now running from the friendlier Chamber of Commerce candidate forums. The Chamber invited congressional candidates Scott Eckersley and Long to the forums. Eckersely agreed to the forums and said he would be available and they gave Long nine dates to choose from in order to participate. Nine dates and the Long campaign couldn't agree to one date. This reinforces the idea that Billy Long is dodging debates like a hippie dodged the draft.

The Chamber asked candidates to "present their ideas and key policy priorities" and then take questions from the audience. Obviously, the idea at this point of Billy Long taking questions from a public who is growing more aware of his political ignorance of the issues facing our great Republic scares the Long campaign. Which is probably the reason the nine dates were't convenient enough for Mr. Long.

The following is the list of dates, exposed by Fired Up Missouri, which the Long campaign couldn't come up with one that met Billy's busy schedule (downstream).
