ProudP:
Thank you for calling. It is of paramount importance that the media large and small realize that the voters are taking the country back and we are in control not them. My reaction would be the same had this been done to a republican candidate. It’s still wrong, its corrupt and it denies the voters their right to explore every candidate.

The idea of Keyes just shows the poor judgment of the Register and cancels any Iowa caucus power that they may carry.

I called, and made sure the gal , was keeping a count of the calls recieved. Thanks NY , Dusty and everybody for being on the case. How they could blunder this dramatically is yet another example of the Press, forgeting its primary function, to be a voice of the people. Its good they heard from us. Hopefully lessons will be learned. Our response ought to be front page news tomarrow and yes with a mea culpa. I still keep shaking my head that Keyes popped up. I told the gal on the phone – did you see the news that night, it was a freakin joke, and why he got up there..he had the right piece of paper a lease for an office. Well hello , many people., have home offices, to do this to Kucinich is inexcusable.

We can not let them get away with this. The DM Register needs to at least make a public apology.

Keep Calling. This is MUCH more effective than calling the paper directly. The Advertisers will be calling the paper back and complaining.
Same experience here. People didn’t disagree, thought he should have been included and will call the paper.
VERY IMPORTANT the DM Register suffer the consequences of this kind of an undemocratic decision. Perhaps they will apologize in an editorial and give Kucinich a separate platform somehow?
Keep calling.
POST/REPOST on other sites.
Keep Calling

I have called all the advertisers too…although they were highly pissed that I was clogging up their phone lines, they agreed that Kucinich should of been allowed in the debate if Keyes was allowed in the Rethug debate.

Good post and Thanks for the contact info.

I am also for John Edwards, however we should have an opportunity to hear all the candidates, not just the anointed ones of the Democratic Party.

Dusty:
It is so important to me that we stop corporations. I too called and spoke to the news room manager who said their phone are ringing off the wall with people calling in disgust. with Kucinich being kicked.

She said that they were planing on doing a story about it after the debate. Hopefully this will get the message across to the media that they do not run the elections anymore.
