NBC Un-plugs Kucinich from Presidential Debate

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, NBC changed the criteria, excluding Kucinich from the debate.

When "big media" exert their unbridled control over what Americans can see, hear, and read, then the Constitutional power and right of the citizens to vote is being vetoed by multi-billion corporations that want the votes to go their way.

–	Kucinich Campaign Spokesman

General Electric corporate family member NBC has rewritten its criteria for including candidates in debates specifically to exclude a real peace candidate, Dennis Kucinich. Of course GE is a major weapons manufacturer so peace threatens its profits. This is a shameful and transparent example of how big media can exert huge influence over the election process.

What we can We the (little) People do about this? Lots.

For starters, contact your congress member and your local media. Here's a link that make doing just that real easy:

Second, take a minute and tell GE that your angry about this underhanded maneuver and that you will boycott GE products and services.

Third, whenever you see something like this that you feel is just wrong, don't just sigh and do nothing. Tell everyone you know about it. Send an e-mail; write a blog; call a congressman, mail a letter to your newspaper. It only takes a couple minutes but it can have a powerful impact.
