Remember when our president stated that he was the "Decider?" It appears that we have a new line of imperials headed our way. At an NAACP candidates forum in Detroit on July 12, Mike Gravel and Dennis Kucinich raised the issue of the Democratic Party's (Bill Clinton's) complicity in creating the precarious state in which we find our country. At the end of the forum Clinton and Edwards were taped - unbeknownst to them - agreeing that their campaigns need to eliminate the "non-serious" contenders from future forums and debates.

The New Deciders are our imperial candidates, Senator Clinton and former senator Edwards. They think they can decide who will (and will not) be heard. They have taken it upon themselves to decide who is serious and who is not. The last time I checked the Constitution, it was the people who were the Deciders.

It is more urgent than ever that our country have an open, transparent, candid conversation as to the course we need to take.Our current Decider has created a tool box that will be handed to our next president. This tool box contains more power than any other in American history. I'm afraid, though, that when this tool box is handed over, it is unlikely to be given back to who it rightfully belongs, the people of the United States.

The American people deserve to hear from all the candidates, not just the ones the parties select as the "top tier." Even more important at this juncture is creating more of a voice for the citizens of this country.
