Allow third party candidates into the CPD debates.

Created by K.H. on October 15, 2012

Third party presidential candidates are not being allowed to debate due to unfair polling requirements of the commission on presidential debates. All candidates with enough ballot access to potentially win a majority of the electoral college should be allowed to debate. The polling requirements are unfair in that most polls only include the two major party candidates and some polls only call registered democrat and republican voters. Therefore the 15% polling on 5 separate polls cannot be achieved.

We deserve to hear all sides. Opening the debates will allow for new ideas and perspectives.
