    We need your help! As you know, the CPD (Commission on Presidential Debates) has made it virtually impossible for third party candidates to participate in the debates. The CPD is headed by democratic and republican officials who intentionally leave third party candidates out of the polls, so they are ineligible to debate. The CPD is also 100% funded by corporate sponsors. One of the best ways to bring down the CPD is to target their sponsors and ask them to withdraw their sponsorship. Three sponsors have al
    ready withdrawn their support, due to pressure from political activists. Southwest Airlines is one of CPD’s biggest sponsors, and they are our current target.

    Please join us in a PEACEFUL, non-violent demonstration on Monday, October 22nd, from 9a-1p (may not last this long) at the Little Rock National Airport to let Southwest Airlines know that we reject their decision to financially support corrupt debates headed by the CPD. https://www.facebook.com/events/363253833760207/

  • Neil

    Paper cut outs of Romney and Obama should be placed one on each side of the four debate participants to remind the public how shallow the republocrat ideas are, how out of mainstream the republocrats are becoming, and how absent the republocrats are from a real debate.

    • Mark

      Love the comment! Maybe even have marionettes with Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein as their puppet-master! His ventriloquism moving both their mouths in unison!

      Watching the debate was a drinking game on the words “I agree” and had I had a 12-pack I would have been completely inebriated!

      Empty chair on one side, empty suit on the other.

    • superhvyweight

      to bad they cannot morph into 1 person that way we can have a real candidate debate against them

    • Seven

      Neil– I LOVE your idea!! It’s brilliant. And if Mitt or Barrack try to crash the debate–I say we saran wrap them to a chair, but allow them to speak. Which is WAY kinder than Jill Stein was treated. GOD BLESS THE FREEDOM FIGHTERS.

  • James

    What is the point of RSVP? That’s not made clear. Can they just give out all possible URL’s to watch?

    heard this last night and was taken aback by fahrenkopf’s remarks. …by Karl Dickey;
    “Last night Frank Fahrenkopf, co-chair of the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) was on stage at the Boca Raton, Florida presidential debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney touting the history of the CPD. Before the debate began and the general media’s pooled broadcast cameras were rolling, he said, “I will let you in on a little secret. A temporary restraining order was going to be sought this morning in Washington to prevent this debate from going forward by someone who wasn’t invited to participate. The last minute they had the good judgment to withdraw.” This is not just mis-information but it is an outright lie. The individual Frank Fahrenkopf was talking about Monday evening is Libertarian Party presidential nominee and two-term New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson who filed the federal complaint (viewable here) this past Friday, October 19, 2012 and the complaint was never withdrawn and remains active.”
    I plan to listen to tonight’s debate.

    • upbeat-note

      Actually, it was a JOINT effort by two candidates: Jill Stein of the Green Party and Gary Johnson of the Libertarian Party. They both believe in democracy and opening up voter choice and are working together to that end, despite their different political views (except for agreeing on military cutbacks and pulling out of undeclared wars).

    Thank you for hosting this debate!

  • Bobwalski

    Is there by any chance a replay of this debate or a transcript anywhere? I had a meeting and couldn’t make it. :(

  • http://www.facebook.com/bsommars Barbie Sommars

    Does anyone have a link to where I can watch the debate online?

  • PositivelyUp

    I watched the THIRD PARTY debate last night with the 4 candidates. I introduced my elderly father to the other candidates as he has been from that mindset of “only two” party mentality. He was impressed with them all but especially liked two. If everyone who is for a THIRD PARTY in this country would take the time to introduce a friend, a neighbor or family member to one of more of these candidates we could put a damper on big money in politics. Everyone who believes in third party candidates needs to get involved to further along the movement and stop big bloated campaign spending or we will never again in our lifetime see an ABE LINCOLN run for office again. My Dad learned alot and listened to more truth in the 1.5 hour debate last night then the filtered and distorted media garbage from the so called news on major networks. His eyes are open to propoganda TV ads now and he is questioning the things these ads proclaim. Send the link to the third party debate,tweet the link of #NowThatsADebate ….be a part of greatness and enlighten someone today!

    • Seven

      I watched the debate with my nineteen year old daughter. I encouraged her to listen and form her own opinions and specifically not to simply parrot mine. She asked questions and I answered for all sides to the best of my ability. She’s so impressed and inspired by these four third party candidates, she cannot stop talking about it and sharing with anyone who’ll listen. MANY THANKS to all the candidates, producers, directors and sponsors. Be of Good Faith. A new generation of hope and renewed energy is on the way.

      Look at my picture

  • Josh

    How are the parties’ selected for participation in this debate? Socialist Equality Party candidate Jerry White has been largely ignored by the media despite travelling all around the country and even to Canada, the UK, Germany and Sri Lanka reflecting the SEPs internationalist principles and the importance the US elections hold for the entire world.

    I understand that the 3rd party debate on Oct 30 will concentrate on questions about their stance on foreign policy. I am really looking forward to that one as well.

  • Tom

    Awesome debate, it was great to see candidates with solutions that are actually plausible debating. Monday was the political theater debate, Tuesday was the policy debate. That being said, a couple notes of constructive criticism:
    1. Know the schedule beforehand and triple check it. Lack of professionalism in the debate loses some credibility for the candidates.
    2. Don’t pan around a small auditorium that is not quite full and say, “WOW!” over and over. I appreciate the optimism, but mention how many ONLINE viewers there were.
    I know its easy to be a critic and more difficult to actually do it, but I hadn’t seen anybody else say it yet, and somebody has to keep things grounded (you know what I’m talking about Virgil) :)
    Keep improving and keep up the good work free and equal!

    • Seven

      All of life is a learning experience. Your comments are dead-on accurate. Live TV is a crazy fast-paced intense environment that many of us adore. But it’s live and there’s no editing time. And I can tell you by the end of the event–everyone there knew exactly what did and didn’t work. There’s no critique harsher than self-critique. They probably read your comments and said “Yeah. We know.” :o /

    When is the next debate regarding Foreign Affairs? Will Larry King be hosting again?
    I’ll be chatting live during the debate at http://www.LivePoliticalChat.com and want to set up the scheduled timeslot for it now.

    • http://twitter.com/MandaKnowsBest Amanda Lashua

      It will be Tuesday the 30th in Washington DC (9pm EST?), they did not mention if Larry would be doing that one

    • http://www.facebook.com/debbie.horn.750 Debbie Horn

      Tonight they didn’t say who would be hosting

  • atiboy15

    So, what is this about a potential 2nd debate amongst the top two “winners” of last night’s debate? That would be great, shown again on C-SPAN right before the election.

  • http://twitter.com/HryPop HryPop

    I suggest the chairs or cutouts be placed away from the candidate debaters as it may indicate an unfair association

    Please create a Facebook and G+ event for the debate next week. These should be listed in the Event list. Post those so that we can share the debate event information and drive traffic to it.

    9PM-10:30PM what time zone? Will it be on C-Span?

  • Bill

    You should formally invite Obama and Romney to the next debate and send press releases with the invitation to as many news media as possible. If funds or time are limited, concentrate on media in the battleground states. Maybe someone will shout the question at the candidates,”Are you going to be in the debate in Washington on Nov. 5?”.

  • bkohlh

    Fantastic I just watched the full third party debate. All the candidates were great My amendment. ALL laws sunset after 10 years. All current laws have 10 years to be brought up and voted on. If after 10 years the law is not renewed it becomes null and void. Two benefits 1. Stop congress from passing more stupid laws because they will be so busy. 2. Make each law stand on its own, if it can’t it should not be a law How about it Gary Johnson ready for that amendment

  • Becca

    I WANT TICKETS where do I get them

    solve all the issues regard voting at one time. Just imagine if

        Yeah! Well, what more can I say.?

  • CJSeymour

    If you have high blood pressure, do NOT watch “The Hope & The Change” on HDNet tonight. it’s an hour of steaming propaganda from Koch Bros (as Citizens United) and, as you might expect, it’s sneaky, nauseating, venal, inflammatory, gushing with fear and crawling with lies … it literally stinks of Karl Rove (I’d say more, but he gets off on being seen as demonic). I emailed DirecTV complaining about it and they actually wrote back. Please join me in removing HDNet from your channel filter, and let DirecTV know why.

  • Syringalathyrus

    Loved the debate; loved the candidates, even those with whom I disagreed. I would have any and all of them over for dinner at my house.

  • Swithiod

    For worldpeace it where perhaps better that Obama won instead of Romney? But the election system as USA and GB use whith majority elections. Where the winner takes it all is unfair. And it leeds to a few partie system.
    Whatch the third party in GB. Liberaldemocrats. They got betwen 15-20% of the wotes and 10-20 mandate in a parliament whit over 600 places! The Conservative (Tories) and Labour got lots of more seats than they got %! Then they have som Scottish nationals in the paliament.

    END THE FED ARKANSAS RALLY
    River Market District, 400 President Clinton Avenue, Little Rock, Arkansas
    November 24, 2012 (11:00 a.m.)

    EVENT INFO – We invite everyone in Arkansas from every political and ideological persuasion to join with us to take back control of our monetary and banking systems. This is an issue that affects EVERYONE. A mini-audit was done from 2007 – 2010 that exposed Trillions of (taxpayer backed) Dollars being used to not only prop up the “Too Big to Fail” institutions in the US, but also Trillions in extremely low-interest loans being given to foreign institutions like Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse, and Arab Banking

    Corp. We’ve also learned that sitting members of the Regional Boards of the Fed have given their own companies low interest loans, which can only be described as a supreme conflict of interest, and we’ve also seen well-connected individuals taking loans from the Fed personally. It seems like everyone is getting bailed out by the Federal Reserve while we are still dealing with economic hardships on Main St. THIS MUST END NOW!

    We will gather in Little Rock for a walk to the Federal Reserve (where we will be making stops to spread our message to the general shopping public and disperse literature and mail-in petitions to US Senators). We will end with a rally at the Old State House after a stop at the Fed, to continue promoting the message to the public.

    We will also be introducing the ARBuck (https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6d_l2MWMtTMRzRQT25vWkFtcUU/edit), an alternative currency for Arkansas. You won’t want to miss this event!

    Keynote Speakers:

    Christina Tobin, Founder, Free and Equal Elections Foundation (www.freeandequal.org); Chris Hayes, Libertarian Party 2nd Congressional District Candidate; Dugan King, Founder, ARBuck Association; David Chiodo, Organizer, End The Fed Arkansas (www.endthefed.us) (www.endthefedarkansas.com), and more.

    We are also in talks with Penny Langford Freeman, Adam Kokesh, Sheldon Richman, and Wes Benedict.

    This event is being sponsored by End The Fed Arkansas and the Arkansas Libertarian Party

    I’d like to recommend to you Tom Neilson, a guitar strummin’ folksinger who writes and sings his own songs of peace and liberation. He would add a lot to the 6-22-2013 event in Little Rock.
