Supporters of Independent Congressional candidate Cecilia Iglesias are up in arms over the decision by KOCE to exclude her from next week’s debate with Van Tran and Loretta Sanchez.
They are asking their supporters to start protesting immediately at KOCE. Here are the details:

Wasn’t this country founded on equality? It appears that KOCE has forgeten that meaning! It is a slap to the 11,000 citizens who gave their signatures to have a 3rd candidate. KOCE who claims to broadcast educational programs and real Orange current event, should be ashamed of what they are doing!
What gives them the right to decide for us the citizens; KOCE NEEDS TO BE STOPPED!
Sorry but I have no problem limiting the free air time to candidates that will get votes from others than their immediate family.
I am not blood related to Cecilia Iglesias, but as an American Citizens and a patriot hold the same values and ethics. I stand for needing change in our district. Loretta has not done anything in the past 14 years. What makes anyone believe that if re-elected she will bring change now. Her words are nothing but promises.
Van Tran is yet to be heard; but from his record, he is nothing but a career politician and is seeking to benefit himself.
Win or Loose, Cecilia needs to address all the constinuents in this district. We are people who reside in this district and therefore DEMAND IT!
Trust me Brian, this is an election where I wish there was a “none of the above” choice.
This insanity I believe the people have a right to hear a third canidate, we the American people gave Obama a chance. Ceci is the real deal she lives in the 47th and identifys with the people, she drives through the streets of Santa Ana, she’s aware that people from Irvine or Villapark reference our city as the armpit of OC or cespool of illegals, I believe ceci can change that image of the 47th
Loretta is afraid of Cecilia, she is very fluenty in english and spanish, she is not a “pocha”
and KOCE is not been fair, to give this young lady an oportunity to express her political point of view.
I hope Loretta will wear any other color no more red, like Gloria Allreed…..
This is misrepresentation to us the constituents of District 47! I know a lot of public leaders, school teachers, and community advocates. This is not real Orange News! We the community will not approve of this!
This is wrong that KOCE is giving all three candidates equal time. Why did they take it upon them to make this decision for us? KOCE must be stopped.
Let Cecilia participate!
When I learned that only two candidates will be allowed in the debate, it caused a lot of anger and disbelief that this was actually happening by our local news! Local news are to support the viewers and what they want!
This is an OUTRAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Again the Political System of both parties and KOCE telling you the VOTER what they want you to HEAR and THINK. That’s why I am voting independents in. Candidates that think of the communities they SERVE. Cecilia Iglesias will be my CHOSE. I am throwing a wrench in this out of control, massive spending, NOT listening political parties in washington. I am not going to get mad I am going to get even! Nov. 2010 WRENCH BABY!!!!!!!!!!
As for KOCE. I will Boycott there TV Sation and not see the debate! Tell friends and family of there bius programing chooses. GET THE WORD OUT!
