Tell the DNC: Schedule more Democratic presidential primary debates!

The DNC has only scheduled 4 debates before the Iowa Caucuses, and 6 total, down from 26 debates leading up to and during the 2008 primaries. The DNC barred Democratic candidates from participating in non-sanctioned debates, which means the public is likely to see three times as many Republican primary debates as Democratic ones -- and the Republican debates have been drawing over 20 million viewers! This will give many Americans a stronger sense of familiarity with Republican candidates, which doesn't bode well for Democrats.

Additionally, scheduling more debates before Iowa and New Hampshire provides primary voters in these important states a better opportunity to make an informed decision, which will impact who everyone else ultimately gets to vote for.

Winning the White House in 2016 depends on getting our message out to the American people -- the vast majority of whom would benefit from Democratic policies. Scheduling more primary debates will achieve this, while also allowing candidates to hone their skills for the general election, giving the Dems a better shot at taking the presidency.
