After attacking Weed, Goode hiding from debate
October 2, 2006
Less than one week after releasing an ad attacking Al Weed, Virgil Goode is refusing to participate in a forum with Weed. Goode’s ad did not address his connections with criminal contractors, it only accused Weed of hiding from his record.

“I have never hid from my views or my record, but tomorrow night Mr. Goode will be hiding from his. I was looking forward to discussing the issues with Mr. Goode. He has no problems making false accusations, but refuses to engage in discussion. That’s dissapointing,” said Weed.

Tuesday, October 3rd, the Earlysville Area Residents’ League will host a candidate’s forum. Despite repeated invitations since the beginning of the July, Goode only response has been, “I’ll get back to you.”

“Again, Mr. Goode is neglecting his constituents. It just shows how much he cares for the citizens of Earlysville. They went through the trouble to organize the event and gave both campaigns plenty of notice. All he has done is give them the runaround. We deserve better,” Weed said.

Weed accepted the invitation without condition, and will attend the event Tuesday evening. He is eager to answer tough questions and share his positive vision for central and Southside Virginia. The forum will be from 7:00pm to 9:00pm and will be held in the cafeteria of the Brodadus Wood Elementary School at 185 Buck Mountain Road.

Weed and Goode have received invitations to debate from thirteen organizations. To date Goode has refused outright the Fieldale-Collinsville Rotary Club; has not given an answer to the Albemarle/Fluvanna League of Women Voters; told Longwood University that he would attend a debate only if they co-host with Hampden Sydney; will not personally attend a debate at the Fork Union Military Academy, and told Ferrum College that he may or may not show up.

Goode has yet to give response to four other invitations; WDBJ, WYAT, Morning Star Holy Church, and the Danville American Legion.
