UNITED STATES SENATE CANDIDATE BRUCE HERSCHENSOHN OFFERS BOXER A CHANCE 
TO DEFEND HER POOR RECORD IN CONGRESS AT MONDAY PRESS CONFERENCE IN 
CENTURY CITY.

NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA -- Bruce Herschensohn, the GOP candidate for 
the United States Senate seat, extended an invitation to his opponent, 
Barbara Boxer, to defend her political views and her record in Congress 
at a Monday press conference in Century City.

"I have said repeatedly throughout this campaign that I do not want to 
attack you unless you are present so you have the opportunity to defend 
your liberal positions.  I've stuck to my pledge since June 3, despite 
your unwillingness to do the same," said Herschensohn.

"I know, Barbara, that you believe strongly in your views.  You office 
has announced that you will be conveniently nearby for a luncheon in 
Beverly Hills on Monday.  So please join me at the press conference.  You 
will have the opportunity to respond immediately to the analysis I will 
apply to your record an philosophy," said Herschensohn.

FULL TEXT OF LETTER BELOW:

Honorable Barbara Boxer
U.S. Congresswoman
Barbara Boxer for United States Senate
7060 Hollywood Blvd, Ste 514
Los Angeles, CA  90028

Dear Barbara,

What I really want you to do is follow the advice of the editorial in the 
Sacramento Bee "to stop bobbing and weaving and give Herschensohn the 
face-to-face battle he wants.  The winner would be the people of 
California."  That's what I have been saying all along.

But you continue to refuse, so therefore, I'm holding a press conference 
on Monday, October 5, at 11:00 a.m. at the Century Plaza Hotel in Century 
City.  The purpose of this press conference will be to discuss your 
record in the Congress and what your proposals and philosophy will cost 
the American taxpayers.

I have said repeatedly throughout this campaign that I do not want to 
attack you unless you are present so you have the opportunity to defend 
your liberal positions.  I've stuck to my pledge since June 3, despite 
your unwillingness to do the same.

I had hoped sincerely that the tone of this race could be one that would 
benefit the voters of the state, not the candidate with the best 
one-liners.  Unfortunately, it takes more than one candidate to affect 
the tone, and you are not willing to work with me on making this a truly 
great race that would bring change to political campaigns. 

I know, Barbara, that you believe strongly in your views.  You office 
has announced that you will be conveniently nearby for a luncheon in 
Beverly Hills on Monday.  So please join me at the press conference.  You 
will have the opportunity to respond immediately to the analysis I will 
apply to your record an philosophy.  As you know, this would attract vast 
press attention all over California.  My staff will be in touch with your 
office to assist with arrangements.

However, if you refuse to attend, I have no option by to define your 
views for you -- to let the voters of California know what a distinct 
choice they have between your liberal views and my conservative views.

Please join me.

Sincerely,

Bruce
