Put 3rd Parties on National Polls

Created by J.D. on July 06, 2016

Despite the widespread call to end the two-party system, the current national debate rules exclude candidates who fail to reach 15% support in national opinion polls, even if they are on the ballot in enough states to have a mathematical chance of winning the election. This makes it virtually impossible for third-party candidates to participate in debates—especially because they are rarely included in national polls! In turn, third-party candidates cannot advance their message, cannot achieve 15% in the polls, and the vicious cycle continues. It's time to break the vicious cycle that marginalizes third-party candidates due to lack of media attention. Sign the petition and urge the national media to fairly represent the majority of Americans and give 3rd presidential candidates a voice!
