Democratic Senate candidate Joe Sestak issued the following response to Republican Pat Toomey's statement about a candid exchange on health care.

"Pat, I look forward to such an exchange; how about a great town hall on health care?  Does the evening of September 2nd, in your home town of Allentown at Muhlenberg College, work for you?   We'll have a great discussion of the health care reform effort.  I want to show you the light on the public health care option! What do you say?"

Statement is in reference to Republican Pat Toomey's statement on August, 20th, 2009:

"Yesterday, Rep. Joe Sestak and U.S. Senate candidate Pat Toomey had an informative exchange about the current health care proposals being debated in Washington.
 
"Regarding the exchange, Mr. Toomey commented: 'I think Joe Sestak and I would agree that having a candid debate about honest policy differences is a refreshing change from attempting to interact with Arlen Specter, whose position changes by the day.  Pennsylvanians deserve the kind of straightforward and respectful dialogue about critical issues that Joe Sestak and I are prepared to give them.'"
