Clinton/Edwards Want Fewer Candidates At Debates / Are Clinton/Edwards Going To Decide Who Voters Get To Hear At Debates ?

When did it become the Candidates who decide who will be in the debates anyway. Should'nt we as voters be able to hear what ALL of the candidates from ALL of the parties have to say ? Who does Clinton and Edwards think they are to decide who we get to hear from at the debates ?
Is this a sign of the way things will be should by some chance either one of them do get in office ? This is just another way to limit what the voters hear and who they hear it from as I see it. I guess it's no secret that I'm no fan of either one of these two but I still think we should have the right to hear from all the candidates so we can decide for ourselves who we want to endorse...

Kucinich angrily reacts to Clinton-Edwards exchange in Detroit

NEW YORK (AP) — Democrat Dennis Kucinich responded angrily Friday to a conversation overheard between Hillary Rodham Clinton and John Edwards, in which the two spoke of limiting the number of candidates invited to participate in presidential forums.

"Candidates, no matter how important or influential they perceive themselves to be, do not have and should not have the power to determine who is allowed to speak to the American public and who is not," Kucinich said in a statement released by his campaign.

Clinton and Edwards Teaming Up to Eliminate Candidates From Democratic Debates?

The AP caught John Edwards telling Hillary Clinton, "We should try to have a more serious and a smaller group" at the NACCP Presidential Forum Thursday.

Clinton agreed saying, "We've got to cut the number. ... They're not serious."
The Dennis Kucinich camp quickly responded to the quotes by releasing a statement from the Cleveland Congressman saying:

"Candidates, no matter how important or influential they perceive themselves to be, do not have and should not have the power to determine who is allowed to speak to the American public and who is not," said Kucinich.

Sydney Kicks Off 24-Hour World Climate Change Concert

July 7 (Bloomberg) -- More than 45,000 people flocked to Sydney's Aussie Stadium today for the first of the Live Earth concerts, a series of music events being held in eight countries over the next 24 hours to spur action on global warming.

``This is not just about raising awareness but letting every individual out there know that they too can do something about the scourge that is global warming,'' Live Earth promoter Mark Pope said in a telephone interview from Sydney. ``Music has always been good at promoting issues like this.''

Live Earth: Fans Urged to Go Green

SYDNEY, Australia - Live Earth started in Asia with an ancient Aboriginal instrument, toured through rehashed 1970s rock, 1980s pop and laid-back surfer music, and touched the future with a holographic appearance by Al Gore.

It moved on to London, where Madonna flaunted her eco-friendly side as the headliner for an eclectic show that began with a battery of percussion set to flashing images of wildlife, pollution, alternative energy sources and the Earth seen from space.

Red-hot lineup

NEW YORK -- Live Earth is ambitious by any standard: eight concerts featuring the biggest names in music, playing for a 24-hour period across the globe, all for the cause of global warming.

But like its template -- 2006's Live 8, the global concert devoted to poverty in Africa -- the mission of Live Earth is somewhat amorphous.

Its aim is to "trigger a global movement to solve the climate crisis."
