MoveOn.org Political Action: The Debate Must Go On

The Debate Must Go On

John McCain actually asked to "suspend" Friday's much anticipated debate with Barack Obama so that he could posture on the financial crisis.

This isn't presidential behavior. It's a desperate, reckless move that actually threatens to make it harder to resolve this crisis. And of course, presidents have to be able to handle lots of important issues at once--they can't panic and take their eyes off of one urgent priority when another one pops up.

Can you sign this emergency petition to the Commission on Presidential Debates urging them to hold strong and make sure that the debate go forward on Friday, as planned?

A compiled petition with your individual comment will be presented to the Commission on Presidential Debates.
