Tune in to the debates

Thank you to the American Legion Post 133 of Perryville for holding a forum available to all congressional candidates last Tuesday. Democrat Tommy Sowers and I discussed issues concerning our district, state and nation. Republican Jo Ann Emerson did not attend. Following a delicious meal, Legion and Auxiliary members allowed us to present our motivation to campaign for the position. Audience members asked us about veterans' affairs, caring for returning veterans and their families, military strategy, illegal immigration and entitlements.

During the discussion, Tommy and I found common ground, such as the need for congressional term limits and for energy independence. We also presented our differences on health care and salvaging Social Security as well. Tonight at 7 p.m. we will be joined by two more competitors. Please watch our exchange at 7 p.m. on KFVS's CW channel or listen on the radio to KRCU. Visit larrybill.com for details on my solutions.
