You have a chance to level a blow to corporate media which seeks to control this election. Step up and switch your vote to help a man place third in Nevada so he can debate in South Carolina.

::::::::

The news being reported is as follows, Nevada voters:

Dennis Kucinich will have to clean up his electoral act if he wants to participate in Monday's debate for Democratic presidential candidates in South Carolina, hosted by CNN and the Congressional Black Caucus Institute.

CNN Political Director Sam Feist says the congressman from Cleveland can still be in the debate if he's among the top three vote-getters in Nevada's Democratic presidential caucuses on Saturday, and if he scores 5 percent or above in a national poll.

To be invited, candidates must score in the top three in any of the early Democratic National Committee sanctioned contests where delegates are at stake (which excludes Michigan), and must score above 5 percent in a recognized national poll.

After his exclusion by NBC in the Nevada debate, the corporate media robbed you of an option. 

Republicans, reporters, and independents were outraged. See the video for yourself.

Please vote Kucinich in the Nevada caucus tomorrow and level a blow to corporate media which thinks it can silence the American people.  

Obama, Clinton, and Edwards will have no trouble rebounding if in fact Kucinich wins one state or if in fact he places either of them in fourth place.

Obama, Clinton, and Edwards will have no problem getting into the debate and your vote will only allow Americans to see all four of them on stage together.

If you believe that Obama, Clinton, and Edwards are all good people and good Democrats running for president or if you are just plain against Republicans and will be voting for whoever wins the Democratic nomination, than you can move your vote to Kucinich because you realize this country will be good in the hands of any Democrat.

And if you believe what this nation needs is a Democrat, you can help make the platform stronger by making sure Dennis is included so media reform, election reform, and impeachment plus an end to the Iraq war matter in this 2008 election.
