Open the Presidential Debates... or we will!

http://thirdpartyticket.com/

When the debates are limited to two increasingly similar points of view we all suffer. The ThirdPartyTicket.com debate is an important step in our efforts to take back the political process. Our message-- "Open the debates, or we will!"


Watch the third party debates online
Please join us for a third party candidate debate and money bomb (date to be announced as we approach 10,000 pledges mark, location in New York City). All of the major candidates will be invited to participate. The event will be broadcast via BreakTheMatrix.com and many others (details to come). Remember, all of America is on the Internet. Together we can break the media blackout on third party candidates. Be sure to tell your friends and family to tune in.

Earn mainstream attention for your candidate
At the start of the debate we will launch a money bomb for each of the candidates. Contributions will be made directly to the candidates via their respective websites. ThirdPartyTicket.com will report the totals of all the candidates in one location as the moneybomb proceeds. If a significant amount of funds are raised for one or more candidates the mainstream media will take notice! Please spread word.


Submit your debate questions!
Please submit your debate questions and vote on the questions submitted by others. The winning questions will be chosen for the debate. You may submit your questions in text or via embeded youtube video.

Vote Third Party

Recently Ron Paul gave an historic press conference asking for voters to consider voting for third party candidates. He invited four third-party candidates to be present at the conference and gave them all an endorsement.


In his press conference he made three major points:

1.) A large number of people do not want a McCain or Obama presidency - collectively we are a political force,
2.) All four of his suggested third party candidates have 4 positions in common:
bring the U.S. troops home
protect our civil liberties
investigate the Federal Reserve
balance the federal budget
3.) the two party system is corrupt, limits the choices of the American people and must come to an end..

459 Diggs.

There might be a chance this takes off if other candidates would agree. Nader already has. Where is Baldwin, Barr, and McKinney.
