Open Up the U.S. Presidential Debates!

Did you know….

  1. that the U.S. Commission on Presidential Debates is a private corporation?
  2. that they have purposely set out to keep viable, legitimate candidates out of the U.S. presidential debates?
  3. that they are run by the Democratic and Republican parties?

Take a look at this video by Manila Ryce/John Harrison which explains things well:

Then, call the Commission on Presidential Debates at 202-872-1020 to tell them to include in the debate Ralph Nader and any other candidate polling at 5% and higher. We need intelligent and REAL debate on real issues!

Then, contact the Obama (866) 675-2008 and McCain (703) 418-2008 Campaigns to pressure them to include Nader and others. Also call or write Google (650) 253-0000, YouTube, CNN and other sites to “tell them you want ‘open debates’ where any candidate polling at 5% or higher is allowed to participate and given equal-time to speak.” – from Manila Ryce/John Harrison an-appeal-to-democrats-and-republicans-%e2%80%93-open-the-debates

It’s time to go beyond this 2-party system, and start discussing poverty, health care, climate change and renewable energies, agriculture and subsidies, education, civil liberties, getting out of Iraq, corporate welfare, and the take-over of the U.S. by special interest groups.
