Contact ABC News To Demand the Inclusion of Kucinich, Gravel, and Others in the January 5th Debates
Background: In an arbitrary decision that shakes our democracy to its very core, ABC News has set debate criteria that exclude Dennis Kucinich, Mike Gravel, Chris Dodd, Joe Biden and Duncan Hunter from their Saturday debates. New Hampshire has a recent history of open debates, and as a result the New Hampshire Union Leader newspaper has decided not to co-sponsor the debate.
Please contact Cathy Levine, ABC News Media Relations Spokeswoman for the New Hampshire Debate. You can contact her by email below.
UPDATE: Cathy Levine has received so many calls that she has disconnected her cell phone.

Talking Points (for callers):
- You're an ABC News viewer and an independent-minded American.
- You're upset that ABC News is excluding Kucinich, Gravel, Dodd, Biden, and Hunter from the January 5th debates.
- Debates in America are about giving the people all their options, not about unelected media big shots selecting for us
- By taking this action, ABC News is not broadcasting in the Public Interest. Because of this, you and others are considering filing a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Federal Elections Commission (FEC)
- You demand that ABC News take its license responsibility seriously and include all the candidates in the debates.
