On The Silencing Of Kucinich

The following is a letter I sent to the editor of The Nation. It is applicable to many progressive news outlets and I hope you'll join me in setting them straight:
The Nation's stance that Kucinich is 'unelectable' is an unfortunate error. Polling at 77% seems not to have corrected this view. Even if Kucinich was a hopeless underdog (which he isn't) The Nation would be expected to endorse the candidate best representing progressive wishes, not the most viable of centrist (sure loser) candidates condoned by the oligarchic media. The Nation has been duped and cowed by the vicious elimination of our only hope. It is a cowardly surrender to the criminal forces it claims to oppose.

Although I agree with what you have stated, I must ask you to please not spam this.

Even if Kucinich is unelectable, he is a member of the Democratic Party, does represent the views and positions of a sizable portion of the party, and is running for President. He needs to participate in the Democratic debates so that when the final party platform is constructed for whomever the presidential candidate is, it will have been constructed with the input from the members that feel Kucinich best represents their views and positions.
