Cazayoux refuses forums because of his “busy schedule”

Civic groups such as the AARP and the League of Women Voters have been trying for months to organize debates.  When the Baton Rouge Business Report asked Cazayoux if he would be willing to schedule a debate, his campaign responded: “it will be difficult to change our busy schedule“.

At a forum in Livingston Parish, Cazayoux sent his Legislative Director (paid for by your tax dollars) to speak in his place. At a forum in West Baton Rouge, he only sent a campaign worker to record the forum attended by both other candidates, hoping to capture a “gotcha” video for his next attack ad.

Since being elected to Congress, Don Cazayoux has been too busy cozying up to Special Interest groups in Washington DC for an open dialogue with voters in Louisiana.  His liberal supporters have financed attack ads that lie about Bill Cassidy, which may explain why Cazayoux wants to avoid an honest discussion with questions from voters.

One of the attack ads led to The Advocate noting that the “demonizing of anyone who criticizes Social Security’s current state isn’t in the interest of the nation or its retirees.”  Cazayoux has made clear that he is not interested in the interest of the voters of Louisiana.  How else can you explain that over half of his campaign contributions came from out-of-state Special Interests?
