“Meat On The Bone” Runoff Challenge
Background: With Georgia in a Senate runoff, candidates should most importantly show a general, non-scripted understanding of public policy issues. It occurs to my friends that every adult we know in the nation can hold a two- or three-minutes discussion about what our nation is facing. It’s no time for fluff and cotton candy. We need candidates to put some meat on the bone—some have while others haven’t.
Problem: We have heard enough about the personal histories of candidates; that has been covered ad nauseam and at great expense—cast the first stone.
List: Projectlogicga.com and the O.P.E.N. 2020 Network put together a list of 20 issues early this campaign season.
Challenge: We challenge any and everybody to pick out four, five or more issues and post your brief opinions. Then, we hope you will challenge people in your social media orbit to do the same.
Objective: The Meat On The Bone Challenge will show candidates how simple it is to prove their grasp of public policy.
Goal: With one week before Thanksgiving Day, 200 responses in seven days would be nice; 2000 would be nicer and more than that would be a real public service that positions us as the people to see for real grassroots action in the final push for voter turnout.
