CONSTITUTION PARTY CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE DAN FRANK INVITED TO WGAL-TV ROUND TABLE DISCUSSION

INCUMBENT PITTS FAILS TO CONFIRM PARTICIPATION

LANCASTER COUNTY, PA - Constitution Party candidate Dan Frank has accepted an invitation from WGAL-TV to a join a 16th U.S. Congressional District roundtable discussion on Tuesday, September 23rd at 12:30 PM. Joining Frank at the WGAL-TV Round Table Discussion will be Democrat Bruce Slater and Independent John Murphy. Conspicuously absent from the list of confirmed attendees is Republican incumbent Joseph Pitts. As late as Wednesday, September 17th, Pitts, who has a 97% record of voting with the Bush administration, has not even given WGAL-TV the courtesy of a confirmation.

"I am excited at that prospect of discussing the pressing issues of the upcoming election with my fellow candidates", said Frank. "I am thankful that WGAL-TV has recognized the importance of Third Party candidates to the electoral process."

During his tenure in the House of Representatives, Mr. Pitts has supported every so-called free trade agreement and increasing H1B Visas, both causing serious damage to the American work force, even at a time when our economy is in peril. "I do not believe in throwing the American worker out on the street and making them compete with cheap foreign labor in the name of so-called free trade, Mr. Pitts talks about 'zero sum understanding' on free trade, perhaps he can explain this to folks who have lost their jobs and to the folks facing this possibility" lamented Frank.

Mr. Pitts has also voted in favor of squelching our civil liberties under both the USA Patriot Act and the Military Commissions Act. Mr. Pitts is now seeking his seventh term; however, he has broken his pledge to serve only five.

Dan Frank on the other hand is looking to infuse some new blood into Washington. Frank has been endorsed by Constitution Party Presidential candidate Chuck Baldwin. Recently elected the Vice-Chairman of the Lancaster County Committee of the Constitution Party, Frank is dedicated to representing the needs and concerns of all of the people of Lancaster County. Frank's core values are keeping jobs in America, reigning in government spending and keeping America safe at home by securing our borders now.

Frank concluded, "Apparently free elections are like free trade, raise $500,000 from special interest, then there is no need to go through the democratic process of debating, the seat has already been purchased."
