Perry reta a Pelosi a un debate

The Hill:

Rick Perry has challenged House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to debate him next week about his plan for a part-time Congress.

In a letter to Pelosi (D-Calif.) obtained by The Hill, the Texas governor wrote: "I am in Washington Monday and would love to engage you in a public debate about my Overhaul Washington plan versus the congressional status quo.

"I think it would be a tremendous service to the American people to see a public airing of these differences," he continued. "Let the people decide. If Monday doesn't work, perhaps we could find a time in Iowa over the course of the next month to discuss these issues in front of the people of America's heartland."

Perry is running as a Washington outsider, and in a speech on Tuesday he called for "a part-time Congress where their pay is cut in half, their office budgets are cut in half, and their time in Washington is cut in half."
