It just goes to show you can never count on a corrupt political process.
Fifteen minutes before the NBC Las Vegas debate, the Nevada Supreme Court granted NBC's "emergency" appeal and barred Dennis Kucinich from the televised debate.
The court held that the "first amendment rights" of a "corporate media outlet" trumped the right of the American people to an open debate process.
What this ruling effectively says is that private, unelected media corporations can decide who can and cannot appear in an officially sanctioned presidential debate.
This ruling is an extremely dangerous precedent.
This is why we initiated IndependentPrimary.Com -- to fight to protect and expand small "d" democracy for us little "g" guys and gals.

We have sent a letter to all the presidential candidates asking them to come forward to admonish the Nevada's Supreme Court's decision, and to call for inclusionary debates. And we'll be launching a new IndependentPrimary.Com vote very soon.
