3rd Party Debate To Focus On Economy



“No Bailouts” Presidential Candidate To Tell Voters The Rest Of The Story



Cleveland, OH (October 29, 2008) Constitution Party presidential candidate Chuck Baldwin (www.Baldwin08.com) will address economic issues in a debate scheduled for Thursday, October 30th at 4:30 PM at the City Club of Cleveland, 850- Euclid Ave, Cleveland.



The forum, organized by the City Club will effectively break the media blackout on viable third party candidates running in the presidential race. Third party candidates in the debate include Independent Ralph Nader, the Green Party’s Cynthia McKinney and the Libertarian Party’s Bob Barr.



“As long as Americans are denied the opportunity to hear from all the candidates we cannot pretend we have unbiased election coverage or fair elections,” said Constitution Party presidential candidate Chuck Baldwin.



Baldwin, standard-bearer for the fast-growing Constitution Party has received the endorsement of former GOP presidential candidate Congressman Ron Paul (http://www.campaignforliberty.com/blog.php?view=547).



Last month Paul urged all Americans to end the duopoly of the Republican and Democratic parties and vote for a third party candidate in November (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ7fcbst3VE ).



Baldwin, a Pensacola, Florida pastor and former Moral Majority state chair, is a political columnist, author and radio talk show host and was the 2004 Constitution Party vice presidential candidate.



Baldwin has distinguished himself as the only candidate running who is for secure borders, ending the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, for overturning Roe v Wade and abolishing the IRS and the Federal Reserve. Baldwin has received an A rating from Gun Owners of America (www.gunowners.org) and Numbers USA, (www.numbersusa.org) the pro-secure borders, anti- illegal immigration group in contrast to McCain and Obama’s F- ratings.



The City Club of Cleveland debate, moderated by Dan Moulthrop of Cleveland’s PBS radio and television stations, will be streamed live by ideastream (http://www.wviz.org/). The debate’s main focus will be on the economy. Baldwin has spoken out against the federal government’s recent so-called “bailouts” in contrast to Senators Obama and McCain who support what Baldwin calls “a disastrous scheme against the American taxpayer.”



C-Span will tape Thursday’s debate for broadcast later that night.

Dear Baldwin supporters,

We have more exciting news to share! Chuck is going to be in another debate, tomorrow, October 30, at the City Club of Cleveland, Ohio. He'll be joined by fellow candidates Bob Barr, Cynthia McKinney, and Ralph Nader in this debate that will focus primarily on the economy. Chuck has, of course, spoken out against the federal government’s recent so-called “bailouts” in contrast to Senators Obama and McCain who support what he calls “a disastrous scheme against the American taxpayer.”

This debate will be moderated by Dan Moulthrop of Cleveland’s PBS radio and television stations, will be streamed live by ideastream starting at 4:30 PM Eastern and 1:30 Pacific times. C-Span will tape the debate for broadcast later that night. Look up the C-Span schedule for your area and be sure to watch it!

In the meantime, forward this video of Chuck speaking about the bailout to everyone you can. Let them know that there is a candidate who realizes that there should be No Amnesty for Wall Street, as Chuck called it in his article:

The only way to fix this economic mess that the international bankers have created is to return America to sound money principles, as prescribed in the U.S. Constitution. This means dismantling the Federal Reserve and the Internal Revenue Service, overturning the 16th Amendment and the personal income tax, and returning the American monetary system to hard assets: gold and silver. Anything short of this will only delay and worsen the inevitable collapse that has already begun.

As the campaign is winding down and election day draws ever closer, we're so grateful for all of your encouragement, support, and help given to Chuck and his campaign. Please keep up the spirit and enthusiasm! Keep emailing friends, making phone calls to acquaintances, posting about Chuck or including Baldwin08.com in your post: let everyone know about the real option that Chuck Baldwin presents for Americans this year! Also, consider a donation to the campaign right now, in these last days to allow us to finish strong. Some of you have helped us by getting the word out to people, some of you have written encouraging emails to us at the campaign, and some of you have donated. We need everyone to be able to do all three of those parts! Please donate now to the campaign. If you're online tomorrow afternoon, do watch the debate through ideastream. Otherwise, check for your C-Span schedule and catch it on TV tomorrow night.
