                        Dear Kathryn,

                        Once again, the corporate media is trying to tell
you which candidates you're allowed to vote for.

                        ABC and Fox News are sponsoring debates just before
the New Hampshire presidential primary.

                        Both ABC and FOX are ruthlessly using their control
of these debates to limit the choice of American voters -- before the first
vote is cast!

                        Here's what they've done:

                        ABC NEWS HAS EXCLUDED KUCINICH, GRAVEL, AND OTHERS:
In an arbitrary decision that shakes our democracy to its very core, ABC
News has set debate criteria that exclude Dennis Kucinich, Mike Gravel,
Chris Dodd, Joe Biden and Duncan Hunter from their Saturday debates.  New
Hampshire has a recent history of open debates. As a result of these
exclusions the New Hampshire Union Leader newspaper has decided not to
co-sponsor the debate.

                        FOX NEWS HAS EXCLUDED RON PAUL: Fox News has done
ABC one step worse by calling it's Sunday debate a "candidate forum" to
avoid setting any criteria at all.  They're using this technicality to
exclude Ron Paul - even though the co-sponsoring New Hampshire Republican
Party issued a statement saying they want all the candidates included.

                        FOX and ABC are using arbitrary criteria to exclude
the diverse and anti-war voices in the Democratic and Republican primaries
and limit the participation of independent voters.
