Denver area supporters of the Ralph Nader presidential campaign will rally
at local 
media outlets on Tuesday, October 17th -"Beat Down the CPD/Make Noise for 
Ralph" to protest Nader'sexclusion from the third Presidential debate.  The 
march will begin in front of the Rocky Mountain News Building at 400 W.
Colfax 
in Denver at 6:00 pm.        In addition to protesting Nader's exclusion
from 
the presidential debate series sponsored by the Commission onPresidential 
Debates, the local rallies will call upon the media to fulfill their
obligations 
to the public interest (as specified in the 1934 Communications Act) by
covering 
the presidential candidate's grassroots support as evidenced in the large
crowds 
he is drawing across the country.        Nader was barred from participating
in 
the first two debates, despite the fact that a huge majority of people
polled 
want to seehim included.  More than 100,000 signatures have been recorded on
an 
online petition calling for Nader's inclusion in the debates. See:

There have been several ,including Nader super rallies, across the country,
the 
most recent one being at Madison Square Garden rallythis past Friday where 
15,000 noisy and enthusiastic supporters angrily criticized Green Party 
presidential candidate Ralph Nader's exclusion from the recent presidential 
debates and hailed him as a reinvigorating force for democracy.        A
recent 
poll conducted for Reuters/MSNBC by pollster John Zogby released October 5 
showed a "surge" of support for Nader with 7 percent. It also showed 
Al Gore and George W. Bush running neck and neck, 46 to 40 percent,
following 
the first debate.  Polls asking if people want Nader included in the debates
are 
showing that 65-90%want to see the Green Party candidate in the debates.
