CNN: let Tulsi speak

From Tulsi Gabbard's campaign:

Tulsi Gabbard for President

CNN won’t let Tulsi speak. They’ve denied her an invite to their New Hampshire presidential town halls series, worth MILLIONS in free advertising during the most critical days leading up to the vote. We cannot let 2020 be a repeat of 2016: They can keep Tulsi off the stage but they can’t stop us from running ads that reach every New Hampshire voter. Donate $50 now to our Counter CNN Ad Blitz.
Friend —
They’re trying to silence us.
Here are the facts: Our campaign in New Hampshire is stronger than ever, and now the establishment media is going to extreme lengths to shut Tulsi out. First they ignore us, then they smear us as Russian assets and bots, and NOW CNN is flat-out denying Tulsi a New Hampshire Presidential Town Hall despite her polling among the top 5 in the state.
So let's get this straight:
Graphic of invited vs NOT invited
INVITED: Everyone else; including the billionaire spending more than all the other candidates combined on early state ads, and Deval Patrick, both of whom are polling 5-7 points lower than Tulsi.
NOT INVITED: Tulsi: The only woman of color running for president. The only female combat veteran to ever run for president, and the only candidate to speak out against the military industrial complex, the media elite and the establishment they prop up.
This isn’t just about silencing Tulsi, friend. They’re silencing all of us. They’re scared of what we represent; an end to the reign of the establishment elite. The beginning of a government truly of, by and for the people. These CNN-hosted town halls are worth millions in free advertising — held during the most critical pre-vote days, in the state where Tulsi has the most to gain. We’ve never let the establishment intimidate us into silence, and we can’t now: Will you help us run a two-day Ad Blitz during CNN’s campaign to silence Tulsi? Every dollar you chip-in now will go directly to getting our ads on the air in New Hampshire.
The 2020 election is shaping up to be a repeat of 2016 with the establishment elite silencing any voice they see as a threat to their reign. It’s nothing new, but it also doesn’t HAVE to be this way. The road to change is never easy — but Tulsi didn’t sign up for an easy fight. If it was easy, anyone could do it.
This is the fight of our lifetime, friend — This election is about more than just beating Trump, it’s about transforming our democracy so that it works for ALL our people. It’s about unifying our country, and healing our drained and divided communities.
But first, we need to make sure Tulsi has a voice. Can you help?
