PRESS RELEASES |
COMMUNICATIONS
Even though this latest poll in New Hampshire shows me in
6th place—which, even by ABC's own flawed criteria, means I've earned
my place on that stage—they still refuse to let me debate.
Party bosses are terrified that voters might nominate a principled conservative—instead of one of their establishment favorites. And the mainstream media is terrified a conservative nominee will beat Hillary Clinton this fall.
That's why they’re doing all they can to keep me off that stage. That’s why they're doing their best to convince you this race is already over—and that your vote no longer matters.
You and I both know that's not true. But we must fight back together if we're going to beat them at their own rigged game. Will you stand with me, to give American voters the fair fight we deserve?
Please pitch in $13 to keep us fighting as hard as we can—and make sure voters get to hear from every voice in this race.
Thanks,
Carly

"We made a parody of ABC and Disney just like they made a parody out of our debate process. The arbitrary standards set by ABC lack grounding or knowledge of the political process or respect for the role New Hampshire voters play in the First in the Nation Primary. Despite not being included in the last debate Carly beat two establishment favorites and she will do so again on Tuesday.
“The standards set by Disney's ABC are so arbitrary and nonsensical one is left to believe they must be purposeful to protect Hillary from her most effective critic. The Manhattan media executives need to swallow their pride and do what is right by voters. Disney, ABC, and the RNC need to stop rigging the game and must listen to voters and include Carly," said Stephen DeMaura, Executive Director of CARLY for America

Manchester, NH -- Former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore, arguably the most qualified Republican presidential candidate, said today in New Hampshire that "the media is engaged in a disgraceful effort to select the Republican nominee for President of the United States."
Gilmore, the only veteran in the race for the presidency, said "The media, through its selective polling and debates, has been trying to winnow the field in New Hampshire's Republican Primary since Day One. The latest example of this manipulation is ABC's debate tonight thatincludes only seven of the nine GOP candidates for President."
"By reportedly setting an Iowa outcome as one of the criteria for the Saturday debate, ABC and the networks are effectively taking over the strategy of a candidate's campaign. This is certainly not their role and rigs the nomination process," Gilmore said.
"This media effort being perpetrated by ABC and the other networks is attempting to take away the opportunity of New Hampshire voters to vote for the best qualified candidate. Instead, the media is trying to select the candidate it knows will continue an anti-Republican
sideshow," Gilmore declared while making campaign appearance in the Granite State.
"When the people of New Hampshire go to the polls on Feb. 9th, I urge them to send a loud and clear message to the media by voting for Jim Gilmore, the only veteran in the presidential race, a former U.S. Army intelligence agent, and the person most qualified to get America back
on track," Gilmore said.
Jim Gilmore is the former chairman of a national commission that warned before 9/11 about the dangers of domestic attacks on our nation. He responded to terrorism first hand when he served as Governor of Virginia during the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon. He deliberately bypassed the Iowa caucuses but has been aggressively campaigning in New Hampshire for months.
