Below I've quoted a sad entry I found on Upcoming.org. Isn't it funny how the names of the sorriest newpapers are just so laden with irony nowadays: Plain Dealer, Vindicator, dealing plainly and openly with whom, vindicating what? Anyway, here's the recounting of another attempt to limit the public dialogue on an important issue, the election of our governor, and I encourage you to either support Bill Peirce in his side-forum or make it so he can be in the main debate.

Bill Peirce, an independent candidate for Governor in November’s election, was recently denied a spot in the gubernatorial candidates debate taking place in Youngstown, Ohio on Tuesday, September 5, 2006. The debate sponsors, WFMJ-TV and the Youngstown Vindicator, have refused to allow any independent candidates to participate in the debate.
When asked why he should be included in the debate, Peirce (pronounced "purse") had this to say: "I have spent the last year campaigning full time. I secured the endorsement of Ohio's third largest political party and submitted a nominating petition containing over 13,000 signatures from all 88 counties in Ohio. I have a Ph.D. in Economics from Princeton University, taught economics at Case Western Reserve University for more than 35 years, and have published books on bureaucratic failure, energy economics, and technological change. The people of Ohio deserve to hear from an economic specialist who can lead them out of problems that career politicians of both major parties have caused."
Peirce and his campaign, practiced in the art of making lemonade from lemons, invite you to join Bill for a drink after the debate at Cedar's Lounge & Restaurant (23 N. Hazel St., a brief walk from the debate), where Bill will be available from noon until 4:00 p.m. Bill will be answering the same questions posed to Ted Strickland and Ken Blackwell during the debate, along with any other questions from the media. We hope to see you Tuesday!
