Iowa Democrats Exclude Kucinich & Gravel from Events

HeadlineSep 18, 2007

Meanwhile, Congressman Dennis Kucinich has accused Democratic Party leaders in Iowa of excluding him from two presidential events this week. On Sunday, six of the Democratic candidates were invited to speak to over 12,000 Democratic voters at Senator Tom Harkin’s steak fry. But Kucinich and former Senator Mike Gravel were not invited. They also weren’t invited to a recent Democratic presidential forum in Davenport, Iowa. Kucinich said: “When Party leaders and their allies pre-select which candidates they will allow the voters to hear, it’s a disservice to the voters. Iowans deserve better than a rigged game.”
