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?
