“I have spent nearly all of my professional career in the private sector, rescuing failing companies, balancing budgets and creating jobs,” Cain said. “I look forward to sharing these experiences and the common sense solutions I have always employed during the ATRF and Daily Caller debate in Las Vegas.”

Cain also urged his fellow Republican presidential candidates to accept the invitation to participate in the debate.

“Now is not the time for political games. It’s time to get serious about our anemic economy and the millions of Americans out of work because of it. People deserve to hear from all of us,” Cain said. “Governor Romney, saying you’re a businessman simply isn’t enough. I hope you will participate in this debate to showcase what experiences and vision we each have, and which of us would be able to best help stabilize and grow our economy.”

Herman Cain has participated in the two previous presidential debates hosted by FOX News/ South Carolina Republican Party and CNN/ WMUR/ The New Hampshire Union-Leader.

He has signed the Americans for Tax Reform Taxpayer Protection pledge, which vows to oppose any tax increases or elimination of tax relief.
