Call the Des Moines Register today!
December 13, 2007 by Dusty
The morons have decided NOT to include Kucinich in todays final Iowa debate. The reason is pretty petty; he did not have paid staff in his offices in Iowa..only volunteers.
This is total bs in my opinion. Its a way to silence the progessives, nothing more. From NYTexan, we get the phone numbers for those in charge of this Gannet-owned Rag:

Laura Hollingsworth President and Publisher (515) 284-8041
Randy Brubaker Managing Editor (515) 284-8590

Call and voice your displeasure with these fuckwits. Its their only way to silence the progressive voice, but we must NOT be silent on this! Also, stop by NYTexans blog and show her some love for providing this phone numbers.
EDIT: from one of our commenters Bill we get info on their advertisers:
CALL advertisers off their web site. Be polite, ask to speak to the sales, general
manager or person in charge of advertising. Object to their advertising in
a paper that would include Keyes in the Republican debate, but exclude
Kucinich.

If you are feeling REALLY frisky, go into classified ads and contact people who have something for sale and object to them advertising in the paper. IT WORKS. They call the paper back and say WTF?

Ok, that pisses me off.
DO pass on the list AND hit their advertisers.
Somebody get a list fast of their top ten advertisers. Likely car dealers, banks, hotels. Get some numbers up and voice your displeasure with the paper and you will not patronize their advertisers.

I called and the newsroom manager said their phones are ringing off the wall with complaints. Good!!!!
They also said they were doing a story about this. I told them that bloggers are taking action against The Des Moines Register and we will not allow corporations to take over the election.

Dusty we can’t and we won’t shut up. i just wish to god what we thought mattered to anyone whatsoever!
jim- honey- it matters to us. that’s what matters!
Jim, progressives care, and that is important. We, as progressives, try to get the rest of the Nation to listen and care and I won’t shut up in that regard.
The establishment will do anything to silence someone who speaks the truth about the corruption and back room dealings of both parties.
