Appeal to alter the Committee For Presidential Debate's Minimum Poll Threshold for participation from 15% to 5%

Created by M.B. on August 04, 2016

The 2016 election pairs 2 candidates that are considered by most Americans to be thoroughly unacceptable for the highest office in the land.

When given the choice of options that they cannot in good conscience vote for, we request the opportunity for greater awareness of third party candidates with significant support.

This election cycle, it would allow Jill Stein and Ron Johnson the opportunity to represent their case to a massive audience of Americans during the presidential debates. In past years, it would have allowed candidates such as Ralph Nader a greater forum to make his case.

By signing this petition, you are requesting that the minimum threshold for entry to the major presidential debates is reduced from 15% to 5%.

Americans deserve better then the lesser of two evils.
