ZANESVILLE, Ohio, ChristianNewswire -- In response to Congressman Zack Space's refusal to meet face-to-face with those whom he was elected to represent, Coach Dave Daubenmire of Pass The Salt Ministries will begin a round-the-clock vigil outside the Congressman's office in Zanesville, Ohio. Coach Dave, in his capacity as a private citizen, will be sleeping outside Zack Space's office until the Congressman agrees to hold a Public Town Hall meeting anywhere in the Licking, Knox, Muskingum County areas of the 18th Congressional District.

To date, Congressman Space has refused to meet face to face with "John Q. Public" choosing instead to attend invitation only events, hold tele-conferences, while at the very same time refusing to publish a list of his "appearances" on his website.

Coach Dave followed Congressman Space across three Ohio counties last week in attempt to schedule a meeting with him. Numerous requests have been made to the Congressman's office to no avail. Although Congressman Space agreed to meet one- on-one with the Coach in private, Coach Dave refused the invitation, opting instead for a "Public Meeting" where Rep. Space's responses would be open for all to hear.

Statement from Coach Dave Daubenmire

"As a former football player at Kenyon College I would hope that Rep. Space understands the importance of a huddle and the need for everyone to know the play that is being called. I will remain outside his office until he agrees to a 'Huddle' with those he represents, or until it becomes obvious that Congressman Space has decided to 'run his own play' without any input from those who will be footing the bill."
