Here’s the campaign email that’s been sent out:
Urgent Message
From Senator Mike GravelTuesday, October, 30, 2007
Even if you’ve read this, it’s worth repeating.
Corporate censorship has taken over the Presidential race. I have been excluded unfairly from the MSNBC Debate at Drexel University this Tuesday. Why? GE owns MSNBC and NBC. Last minute, they claimed I did not raise enough money.
I won’t stand for this in my country!
Join me for this truly historic event, tonight! LIVE. http://Gravel2008.us/LIVEDEBAT
E I am broadcasting via WebCast tonight from Philadelphia across from the debate site at Drexel University and I will be answering many of the same debate questions that Hillary and the others are answering at the MSNBC debate. So join me on the web at 6pm PT, 7pm MT, 9pm ET at http://Gravel2008.us/LIVEDEBAT
E …bookmark this page If you live in the Philadelphia area, I will be at World Cafe Live http://www.worldcafelive.com with hundreds of supporters and anti-war protestors to protest GE (the owner of MSNBC and NBC) and corporate media censorship in this election. Join me at “World Cafe Live” — doors open at 8:30pm ET.
Even if you have donated to my campaign, I urge you to donate again. I need you to take a stand with me today. According to NBC, money talks. Let’s show them we can speak up!
Yours in gratitude,
Senator Mike Gravel

Unfortunately, NBC is one of the biggest beneficiaries of federal spending - be it on war, medicine, phony green technology, or insurance. They know how to donate to both political parties and influence the public perception. Gravel would be bad for their business, so their decision to silence him screams “conflict of interest.”
