We the people ask the federal government to Call on Congress to act on an issue:

Require networks to invite all balloted presidential candidates to participate in televised general election debates.

Created by J.C. on May 08, 2016

The U.S. presidential election is one of if not the most significant and consequential contest[s] in the modern world, and every election, American voters are presented with a ballot containing the names of people who--for no defensible reason--have not been featured in the widely-viewed and influential debates aired on either broadcast or cable television, plus the names of the two candidates that have been. That the Democratic and Republican parties enjoy a politically-engineered and -reinforced dominance in the United States is no secret, but that a country boasting of its democratic process should run these contests with no provision that all ballot candidates must at least be afforded a platform on this essential stage is absurd on its face, and should be rectified by election law.
