Let's see. In the last 217 years, the Frelinghuysen family's sent 6 members to Congress. And Rodney Frelinghuysen's been representing NJ-11 for 15 years. He ought to be able to stand for a debate against a challenger not of his party. - promoted by Rosi

This afternoon, 1 pm to be exact; a group of people marched to the front the Republican Headquarters in Morristown for a press conference. These people weren't just democrats supporting Douglas Herbert for Congress, they were Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. They all had one thing on their minds...to call on Rodney Frelinghuysen to accept his debate challenge and to respond to invitations from the League of Women Voters, the NAACP, and Sparta United for Education.

With our current economic crisis on his mind Doug emphasized the stakes in this years election in November, could not be any greater. He is quoted saying: "I am here, today, to let my opponent know that the people of this District care about who represents them in Congress. They deserve a leader who will offer answers to their questions and who will represent their interests in Congress." "For their sake, I once again call on you to appear at a series of debates with me so that the people of our District will know where each of us stands on the issues facing them, our State and our Country."
Doug is the leader that will offer answers to our questions, as shown by answers to the debate opportunities; and he will represent OUR interests in Congress. NOT special and political interests.
Not only people involved in his campaign were at this press conference. Doug was also joined by his family, reporters from newspapers all over the 11th district, representatives from the Morris County Chapter of the NAACP, Sparta United by Education as well as Republican voters from the Eleventh District. Doug then reiterated his concerns and called out Frelinghuysen; "Representative Frelinghuysen, I stand in front of your campaign headquarters today united with people from all parties and groups. For their sake, I once again call on you to appear at a series of debates with me so that the people of our District will know where each of us stands on the issues facing them, our State and our Country."
The clear choice for congress in the 11th district is no other than Douglas Herbert; please remember to go place a vote for him on November 2nd.
