To: The Democratic National Committee
Tell the DNC: Go back to the drawing board
The drop from 17 Democratic debates prior to the 2008 Iowa caucuses to only four this year is outrageous. Democratic voters need a chance to have a vigorous conversation on the issues that matter to the American people. It's time to go back to the drawing board and schedule more debates.
Why is this important?
The Democratic National Committee just released the presidential debate schedule--and it's sparse at best.
The proposed DNC schedule with only four debates before votes are cast--less than a quarter as many as during the 2008 primary--fails to give Democratic voters or the American public a chance to have a vigorous conversation on the issues that matter to the American people.
These new rules hurt the Democratic party, the eventual Democratic nominee, and our country.
Tell the DNC: Go back to the drawing board and come up with a new, more inclusive schedule, or allow others to plan their own sanctioned debates.
