Mark Wilson, Candidate for Senator

Written by: Sandy Gourley on Apr 8, 2006 9:16 PM EDT

I heard some very distressing information regarding Mark Wilson's visit to the Tri-Cities Friday night to a local Democrat club's meeting.

I know there are many who support Senator Cantwell, but I am having some trouble understanding why someone would invite Mr. Wilson and then be very rude and disrespectful toward him. I mean, if you don't want to hear what he has to say, then he shouldn't have been invited.

Mr. Wilson is a very intelligent man. I have personally spoken with him on several occasions and he has come to the 4th CD membership meeting and was warmly received, even though there were Cantwell supporters.

I guess, what bothers me the most is, why would anyone, especially a candidate want to even come here to the Tri-Cities, on an invitation especially, and be treated so rudely? I would be most interested in someone explaining that to me.
