Dear Secretary Clinton and Mr. Trump,
Our country is reeling. There have been too many incidents of black men killed by
police officers. Protests. And now the ambush in Dallas that resulted in the slaying of
five police officers
One of you will soon be our country's leader.
We invite you both to Dallas to talk about your vision for a path forward - a path
forward specific to these events. And the sooner the better.
Our community, and much of America, is grieving. There is anger. We as community
leaders and you as potential world leaders must assure that anger’s purpose is served
in justice.
We at The Dallas Moming News are prepared to host this conversation. We are the
largest and most influential source of news and information in North Texas.
Let us be clear. This is not a debate or a town hall; it is a search for solutions. It is
important for Americans to understand how you would lead the country forward, what
solutions you have to offer and what actions you would urge others to take.
How would you, as President of the United States, lead the country away from
violence and racial tension toward peace and prosperity?
If you accept this invitation, we will move quickly to secure an appropriate venue and
work closely with your teams on logistics and security. We pledge to do everything we
can to make this a smart, informative and groundbreaking conversation
Please confirm your attendance at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely, a
Mike Wilson
