The Bob Barr campaign sent letters to both the Commission on Presidential Debates and the Obama campaign requesting inclusion in Friday night’s debate in Mississippi after John McCain said he would not attend due to the importance of “fixing” the economic problems we face.

Of course, these letters were predictable and will likely be ignored, but I again applaud the campaign for fighting for every opportunity to get the freedom message out to the American people.

Most of you have probably heard that Sen. John McCain is temporarily suspending his campaign and calling for a postponement of Friday night’s presidential debate so that he and Sen. Barack Obama can go to Washington and cast a vote to spend $1 trillion of your money bailing out Wall Street.

The University of Mississippi, the host of the debate, and Sen. Obama are proceeding as scheduled. We here at Barr HQ are encouraging Sen. Obama to do just that, however, we are asking for a favor.

Russ Verney has sent letter to both the Commission on President Debates (view letter) and the Obama campaign (view letter) asking for Bob Barr to be included in Friday’s debate. In his letter to the CPD, Verney wrote that including Bob in the debate would allow them to proceed as planned and that “Congressman Barr’s participation will provide a substantive and vigorous debate of the issues facing our nation.”

Keep it up Bob. Read the rest here.
