LINK TV CONNECTS CITIZEN'S GROUPS WITH PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATES FOR REAL INTERVIEWS ABOUT REAL ISSUES

THE PEOPLE'S VOICE: ELECTION 2004
(Premiere: Thursday, 12/18 @ 10PM ET / 7PM PT)

Will Presidential Candidate Dennis Kucinich call for the
impeachment of President Bush for lying about Iraq? As
President, would Howard Dean repeal the Patriot Act? How
exactly would John Kerry pass single-payer health insurance
through a Republican Congress? Is Joe Lieberman willing to
put pressure on Israel to accept the Geneva Peace Plan? To
get answers to these questions and more, tune in to Link
TV’s new election series — THE PEOPLE'S VOICE: ELECTION 2004
— featuring questions from the nation’s leading citizen’s
groups and membership organizations. THE PEOPLE'S VOICE
premieres on December 18th with Rep. Dennis Kucinich.

An election series without the usual suspects or mindless
chatter? Link TV promises just that — one hour, in-depth
interviews with each of the presidential candidates.
Featuring questions from the country's leading activist and
membership organizations, THE PEOPLE'S VOICE is leveraging
the power of television and a potential viewership of 21
million households to mobilize the mobilizers in the
upcoming election. From Iowa farmers to environmentalists
and the nation’s newest voters, Link TV is putting the
people back in the electoral process.

Throughout each program, banners will appear on the bottom
of the screen offering viewers other ways to get involved,
from registering to vote to volunteering for a candidate's
campaign to joining one of the citizen’s groups.

THE PEOPLE'S VOICE is hosted by Journalist Mark Hertsgaard,
Link TV's political correspondent, who has a national
reputation for probing deeper and asking provocative

Mark Hertsgaard: Nine of the ten (biggest contributors to your campaign) are labor unions. As President, will you be beholden to labor unions and will you be able to work with business in a cooperative way?

Kucinich: ....I fully intend to have workers' rights enshrined in a workers' White House: the right to organize, the right to collective organizing, the right to strike, the right to decent wages and benefits,
the right to a safe workplace, the right to a secure retirement, the right to participate in the political process.
