Friend --

We learned today that Spectrum News is considering that they may have to "rectify" their decision to exclude me from their October 30th debate for U.S. Senate candidates.  This is HUGE! 

They have admitted that they are getting deluged with calls and emails, and are now keeping track of them!  Please send an email telling them what you think of their attempts to alter the outcome of the election by depriving voters of the ability to hear from ALL candidates. 

To register your comments, and demand that Diane Sare be included in the U.S. Senate candidates' debate on October 30, click here.

Despite the fact that over 66,000 New York voters signed the nominating petition to place my name on the ballot, and no one else even came close to demonstrating that level of support, on October 11th, Spectrum News in New York, owned by Charter Communications, announced that they will hold a debate featuring my opponents – Sen. Chuck Schumer and TV personality Joe Pinion – but without Diane Sare. Clearly, this is meant to rig the vote by denying voters the right to know of my candidacy.

When contacted concerning this oversight, Spectrum’s New York State Political Director, Bob Hardt, glibly explained that I would not be invited to join the debate with the rationale that the candidates had to have "enough support to receive an invitation". He continued: “In this case, it would be whether a candidate achieved 15% of support in at least two polls. Ms. Sare did not meet that criteria in any of the polls conducted this election cycle ... Good luck ... Bob Hardt." 

But in the following polls:  Marist College, Siena College, and Emerson College, which polls are used for the criteria of whom to invite, voting for Diane Sare is not an option which voters are allowed to select!

The following are the relevant emails and numbers of representatives of Spectrum News; the parent company of Spectrum, Charter Communications; and also of Sen. Chuck Schumer.

• Tom Rutledge, CEO of Charter Communications, which owns Spectrum News, based in Stamford, CT (203) 905-7801;
• Bob Hardt, New York Political Director of Spectrum NY 1, [email protected], NY1 number is: 212-379-3456;
• Joe Konig: [email protected] or 
• [email protected], NY1, 212-379-3456. 
• Sen. Charles Schumer: Schumer Campaign Office in New York, 212-532-2266.

See the graphics below for documentation.  Send your email in now, and call the offices during business hours tomorrow.  We must not allow the blackout to continue!
