John Conyers:Let Rep. Kucinich Debate Tonight

[cal04]

From reading the comments on this blog, I know that many of you have been paying close attention to the conflict between NBC and Rep. Dennis Kucinich's campaign over his inclusion in tonight's debate in Nevada. I just want to chime in on that and say that I agree that it is unfair and undemocratic of NBC to attempt to exclude Rep. Kucinich from the debate. (For the moment, it looks like he will be included thanks to a District Court judge's ruling yesterday, though NBC is currently appealing the decision.)

Although I have endorsed Sen. Obama and hope to see him as our nominee, I hope that NBC will reconsider its position and allow Rep. Kucinich to debate. The primary election process is one of the most important ways in which our party can examine the matters most important to us, especially those issues on which we find difference of opinion. Rep. Kucinich brings a perspective to the debates that is important for all of us to hear, including his fellow presidential candidates.

1. Whoah, I didn't realize Conyers endorsed Obama....

...that's good, especially considering the flak the Big O has gotten from Rangel.

Doesn't matter though--Harlem loves him!

2. Yes, Mr. Conyers, let him debate and let his

bill on the impeachment of Dick Cheney go forward in the Judiciary Committee.

3. I hadn't heard that Conyers endorsed Obama either.
