We need Senator Gravel at the debates. Finally someone who is not afraid to speak out. Let's keep the other candidates on their toes and give Gravel his due in this great democracy of ours!
Funding for a presidential candidate should not be a criteria for them to be heard from NBC or any other news outlet. Stop censoring ... its un-american!
Don't deny Senator Gravel or any of the other candidates a right to be heard. Democrats have not yet decided who will be their party's nominee and until we do, don't close off the debate arbitrarily.
I think america has become a censored fascist country controlled by special interest and the Media who supports and are funded by special interest ...sad we are heading for disaster
This is rediculious that Mike Gravel is not being allowed to participate. This exclusion will set a dangerous precedent in our country whereas only the front runners with corporate backing will be presented to the voters as presidential candidates. Please do not hijack our democracy!!
Often over looked for Ron Paul, Mike Gravel is the one, true, honest force in the upcoming elections. Refusing to cater to big business, and instead relying on ideas and common-sense. It's sad when those are no longer requirements of a president, and even appear to be hindering Gravel from becoming so. I just hope the people aren't as retarded ( Like NBC) as the big businesses and lobby groups.
The main problem with our electoral process is the requirement that presidential candidates are required to sell out to big business in order to have a chance. Leaving middle america with choices who have already sold their souls to corporate america who has no interest in our well being and only cares about it's profits. LET GRAVEL SPEAK!!!!
Sen. Gravel, take on to the streets and reach out to as many people as possible because Corp. Interest are going to destroy this country! Debates are rigged and we all know that, reach out to as many people as you can!
It is important in a democracy that we have all views. Former Senator Mike Gravel certainly has a lot of different views, even to those that don't support him. Please reconsider allowing him to participate in the debate.
when did our elections become a race for only those who can raise obscene amounts of money?!! Where is democracy? Give the citizens a chance to hear every candidate.
Excluding Mr. Gavel from the debates unbelievable. He speaks with an authentic voice that the other candidates do not have on issues such as the war in Iraq, and the war mongering in general. Anyone who thinks Iran is a threat to us is simply insecure and needs a geography lesson.
Senator Gravel deserves to be heard. He is a voice of reason and it is a national disservice to mute him. I am just starting to spend a substantial amount of money promoting him in New Hampshire and it is tragic to have Senator Gravel pushed out just when the nation is starting to pay attention to the primary.
