Dear Friend,
Recently, Senator Gravel was invited to appear as a guest on Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Tonight. We had no choice but to decline. This was not an easy decision, as the Senator has believed for many years that the anti-war message should be heard by anyone who is willing to listen — even hostile cable news personalities.

This decision was made more difficult by the fact that we could desperately use the exposure that the appearance would bring. In order to qualify for the Democratic debates, we need 65,000 donations from individuals across the country and we still have a long way to go.



Let Mike know he did the right thing with a 1.00 donation

Fox News pundits have always served as yellow journalists, using xenophobia and white supremacy to sell wars domestically and abroad to please their corporate masters. The network has emboldened white supremacists and is the single entity most responsible for the corruption of our public discourse. Most troubling, though, are the numerous acts of domestic terrorism that have occurred as a direct result of their hateful and bigoted rhetoric.

At its heart, this is a campaign about peace. It is for that reason we could not appear on Tucker Carlson Tonight. We cannot, in good conscience, appear on the program of a white supremacist who is responsible for encouraging violence against immigrants, people of color, and the political left. To do so would lend tacit endorsement to his deeply reprehensible views and would reinforce the ridiculous idea that his sham of a talk show is a place for serious debate.

We believe strongly in our anti-war platform, and would be very happy to share it with nearly anyone else.

Sincerely,

David Oks
Campaign Manager
