An open letter to Carolyn Washburn regarding Dennis Kucinich's exclusion from the Iowa Debate

The following is an e-mail I sent to Carolyn Washburn, regarding the exclusion of Dennis Kucinich from the Iowa Debates because his "office" is in his Iowa home. For more info, see: http://blogs.usatoday.com/onpolitics/2007/12/were-only-surpr.html

Subject: Political Hackery (that's you!)

Aloha,

I am a 26-year-old working class American. I am by no means a pundit or political extremist or uber-liberal or whatever convenient label you want to throw out there. By excluding Dennis Kucinich in the Iowa Debate, you've stooped to the level of political hackery that is so common among people such as Bill O'Reilly, Bill Maher, and Ann Coulter. What kind of excuse is "His home doesn't count for an office," is that? Beings that he actually LIVES in Iowa and he's a serious candidate, he has more of a right to be there than the rest of them. He's the only HONEST candidate. Obama and Hillary are talking heads supported by the media and have a proven track record of doing the same Goddamn thing that the rest of Washington is doing and it's what is screwing up this country, so why give them preferential treatment?
People like you are the reason that the American people are more and more disenfranchised with the political process. People like you are the reason that more and more our Government believes it's okay to abuse the ignorance of its people. Shame on you.

Sincerely,
Jay Chrisman
