Thanks to your (very expeditious) support of our Save the Debates petition, People For the American Way joined with allies to drop off more than 170,000 signatures calling for the debate schedule to remain intact. 

And guess what?  It worked! 

 

Americans everywhere saw through John McCain’s flimsy excuse for skipping the debates, and today he announced that he will participate tonight in Mississippi.  Your pressure helped make the difference. 

And we’ll be participating too!!  Yes, we’ll be liveblogging the whole thing right here – and you’ll be able to participate.  So stop by tonight – before, during, and after the debate – to join in the conversation.  See you then! 

(Thanks to DemandTheDebate2008.com, MoveOn, Campaign For America’s Future, and CREDO for joining us in this effort!)
