Sept. 16, 2015 - Dozens of
disgruntled
Democrats, who have been pushing DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz to
sanction more debates than the six currently planned (+),
rallied in front of DNC headquarters. Former Gov. Martin O'Malley
(D-MD) has been a leading advocate for more debates, and several of his
senior campaign staff attended the rally, as did supporters of Bernie
Sanders. Jonathan Mann even composed a little ditty for
#AllowDebate: Hey, Debbie Wasserman Schultz
Republicans held their second debate this evening, while the
Democrats' first debate is not scheduled to occur until October 13.We're gonna call and protest until we get results Only 6 debates, we think that's whack We think there ought to be at least triple that |

Howard Park, an O'Malley
supporter, brought a Hillary Clinton cutout with the message: "Please -
let
me talk about something besides old emails. ALLOW DEBATE."
Park met O'Malley in 1983 in Iowa when they were helping out on Sen.
Gary
Hart's Iowa caucus campaign. In 2003 he was grassroots campaign
director of DC4Clark, which sought to bring Gen. Wesley Clark into the
2004 race. |

About
#AllowDebate
Allow
Debate
is a grassroots group of volunteer Democrats and Independents

Democratic National Committee (DNC) to drop the unprecedented,
undemocratic exclusion rule which bans candidates from participating in
any debates other than the 6 sanctioned by the DNC.
Allowing all candidates to extensively debate the issues provides the public with clear and comparative information to help inform the upcoming primary vote. There are several critical reasons why we demand the DNC allow debates:
