Protest in support of Kucinich at Davenport Debate TONIGHT!
from the kucinich site
http://action.dennis4president.com/blog/view/id_1451 /

As we know, Kucinich, who is the only voice for a single payer universal health care system, was not invited to the Harkin Steak Fry, a very important event for Iowa, and has been excluded from the debate in Davenport this Thursday. If anyone has the inspiration to go to Iowa, the plan is to protest at the entrance of the Adler Theater (136 E. 3rd Street/Davenport, IA 52801) where the debate is being held this Thursday the 20th from 5 to 7 PM.
If you're unable to make the trip, please complain about this unfair decision to AARP (1-888-687-2277; can't find an e-mail address for complaints/comments) and to PBS (http://www.pbs.org/aboutsite/aboutsite_feedback.html ).

2. Make some noise Iowa Kucinich supporters!
Bring flyers and make some noise!

The media might pick up the story and wake people up to AARP and their ties to the insurance industry and the real reason they are excluding Kucinich.

3. Before the Steak Fry they said he was excluded becuae he didn't
have a campaign in Iowa, or something to that effect.

13. You need to bring this up with Senator Harkin.
He was the one who didn't invite Kucinich.

6. The sad part is, you could have a million people show up
and the media still wouldn't cover it. They keep him and his message tucked away pretty well.

7. Sometime we do break through in the media...
...and I think protesters might wake a few people attending the debates.

10. protesting the fact Kucinich wasn't invited
Supporting Kucinich by protesting the fact he wasn't invited...

hand out flyers with Kucinich's health care plan on it to illustrate why it is he wasn't invited...

So we'll expect you to be there?

14. Sorry, only REAL candiates are allowed to be heard.
He's not a real candidate because he says crazy things like "we should get out of Iraq", "we should have a single payer health care system", and "we should end the drug war".

Obviously, he's a nut.

:sarcasm:
