com' Subject: INVITATION TO A PUBLIC DEBATE, ARMORY PARK, MAY 01, 2013 March 18, 2013 Arizona Star Reporter Ms. Perla Trevizo Re: Invitation to Debate Dear Ms. Trevizo: In the public interest, would you be so kind as to extend my offer to debate the issue of Open Border Policy, Arizona SB 1070, etc. with the leadership of the Pro-Raza, End Deportations demonstrators, in Armory Park, on May 01, 2013? Im quite certain none of us wants a repeat of the violence we saw on April 10, 2006. I recently joined the National Institute for Civil Discourse, a national organization which promotes civility in discourse. Perhaps I can get them, or one of their satellite groups, to set appropriate guidelines, and rules. Perhaps they will even moderate the debate. Yours Truly, RW

To facilitate ANY possibility of civil debate in Armory Park on this contentious issue, May 01, 2013, I believe

the enthusiastic support of the National Institute for Civil Discourse, affiliated with the University of Arizona, is necessary. After all, fostering civil debate on political issues is the stated purpose of the foundation. Would you please be so kind as to contact NICD Director Jane Prescott-Smith? Her office is only one block from Armory Park!

I would also like to extend an invitation to Pima County Legal Defender and leader of Derechos Humanos, Isabel Garcia, to participate.

Thank you for your interest. RW Roy Warden (roywarden@hotmail.com) 3/21/13 To: claudiamaria@myexcell.com Claudia, this is an EXTREMELY IMPORTANT breakthrough...IF we can bring this off. Will you participate? RW Prescott-Smith, Jane M - (smithjp) From (smithjp@email.arizona.edu) This sender is in : your contact list. Sent: Fri 3/22/13 3:47 PM To: Roy Warden (roywarden@hotmail.com) Mr. Warden, Would you like to meet on Tues at 2 pm at Breuggers? I will bring some materials that I hope will make it clear why we dont really think of debate as the best approach to civil discourse.
