101. How many of the dozens of people on this thread
Edited on Sat Jan-31-04 12:13 PM by Lydia Leftcoast
have shot off an e-mail to the Times? I just did.

Here's mine:
++++++++
Your suggestion that Dennis Kucinich and Al Sharpton be barred from further Democratic debates is arrogant and undemocratic. No matter how many votes they get, these two candidates bring up important issues that the "socially acceptable" candidates and their rich and powerful contributors would rather keep off the table. I don't think it's a coincidence that your news articles have by turns ignored and made snide remarks about Kucinich and Sharpton throughout the primary season, even before a single vote was cast in Iowa.
++++++++

Getting 90+ e-mails like this MAY get it through their elitist little heads that some people actually want to see controversial candidates. It takes no time at all, and it's highly satisfying. :-)
