INDEPENDENTS ACTION ALERT!
Keep Independent Voices in the Debates

At the conclusion of the July 12th NAACP candidate forum in Detroit, Senator Hillary Clinton and former Senator John Edwards “privately” discussed their interest in narrowing the participants in future debates. This exchange took place after a forum in which former Senator Mike Gravel delivered a sharp critique of the role President Bill Clinton played in enacting NAFTA and Congressman Dennis Kucinich criticized the “top tier’s” record on issues of voter fraud.
