It's Official: Senator Gravel Invited to CNN Debate

April 30, 2007

Senator Gravel would like to thank each and every one on you who worked so hard to get him into the New Hampshire Democratic Presidential Debate. This invitation is a direct result of the dedication and work of those of you who have stood up for this campaign in the last 72 hours. This is absolute proof that the people working together can stand up to corporate media and have our voices heard. Senator Gravel has said all along that this is your campaign and today your voices have been heard loud and clear.

Our work has only just begun. Again, thank you to all of you.

here IIRC.

[Purveyor]

2. K&R - At this stage of the election process...many voices should be heard and evaluated. eom

3. I just want to know who appointed

The New Hampshire Union Leader ultimate arbiter of which Democratic candidates get to participate in this debate? It's bad enough that the corporate media get to cherry-pick what drivel gets dribbled out to the masses and passed off as news; now they're deciding who gets to make their case before the American people? I'd like to know exactly when corporate media became a branch of government!

[THUNDER HANDS]

any tom, dick or harry who calls themselves a democrat and wants to run for president gets to go up on stage and stand next to Hillary, Obama and Edwards?

10. Great~ Mike Gavel

debates again!

[Carolina]

11. Great news

A man with historical perspective who remembers Vietnam and fought to end it, who doesn't have his finger in the wind and his words measured by focus groups, who dares to speak the unvarnished truth!

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

12. Yes! Gavel's next debate is worth much more than a mere K & R. especially since Kucinich

will be there, as well.

Good for CNN and I haven't said that since, well, never. MKJ

[Ninja Jordan]

14. FUCK YES, THIS GUY OWNS

[Jack Rabbit]

16. That and he'll have a beneficial effect on the ratings,

If nothing else, he's good copy.

[mmonk]

17. Great.

Take the debate where you want it to Sen. Gravel.

[northofdenali]

18. He was one of my first votes.

A rather remarkable, honest, intelligent politician - all of which should be oxymorons. We remember him well up here (those of us who were lucky enough to live here before Big Oil and the Repukes took over).

Good on CNN. Weird to say that, though.

[Blue_In_AK]

25. You got it, NOD....

I loved having Mike Gravel for my senator. I'm glad I made it up here soon enough to enjoy that privilege. :)

[BlooInBloo]

19. Shock jocks do get ratings - no doubt about that.

[loudsue]

21. This is GREAT news!! Finally a non-plastic politician (well, he & Kucinich)

there to tell the REAL story of how far this country has fallen since reagan started privatizing our government out to fascist corporations....including the media & the elections.

:kick::kick::kick:

[Rainscents]

22. YES!!!!

BIG KICK!!! :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick:

[cooolandrew]

23. Excellent, give 'em hell Mike. =)

[Blue_In_AK]

24. Great!

Gravel's voice needs to be heard, even if he doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of getting the nomination. He speaks for many of us, and the frontrunners need to know that.
