>I am outraged that
your Network NBC has refused to let Kucinich
in the Las Vegas presidential debate. It concerns me when
networks
decide our democracy for us by airing or refusing to air candidates for
political office. As an American who has taken the oath 6
times to
protect the constitution with my very life, I have decided to continue
the fight against corporate anti Americanism who chose to silence those
political candidates they disapprove of.I will refuse to buy any GE products, post this on all of my
blogs and send this out to my entire email book and ask everyone else
to do the same until we are insured that NBC will give ALL political
candidates equal coverage.

NBC Pulls Plug on Kucinich in Las Vegas Debate

Dennis Kucinich campaign for President is fuming mad at NBC.
Despite
meeting requirments the network set to participate in the debate and
getting invited to participate, the network changed their criteria and
now plan on only inviting Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John
Edwards to their debate on January 15th.
The Kucinich camp wrote in a press release:
Less than 44 hours after NBC sent a congratulatory note and
an
invitation to Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich to participate in the
Jan. 15 Democratic Presidential debate in Las Vegas, the network
notified the campaign this morning it was changing it announced
criteria, rescinding its invitation, and excluding Kucinich from the
debate.
and added:
In an email to the Kucinich campaign at 2:35 p.m. on
Wednesday, January 9, Democratic Party debates consultant Jenny Backus
wrote:"Congratulations on another hard-fought contest. Now that
New
Hampshire is over, we are on to Nevada and our Presidential Debate on
Tuesday January 15. This letter serves as an official invitation for
your candidate to participate in the Nevada Presidential Debate at
Cashman Theatre in downtown Las Vegas. You have met the criteria set by
NBC and the Debate."Todd notified the Kucinich campaign this morning that the
network
had decided to change the criteria and limit participation in the
debate to only three candidates.
What do you think of the corporate media hand picking the
candidates that are heard on a national platform?

Period.
