1Declaration: Free Markets, Free People, Free Minds

Americans deserve a choice when going to the ballot box this fall. Presidential approval ratings are among the lowest in history, Congressional ratings are even lower, and disgust against both parties lack of ability to move forward and make meaningful changes towards as sound and constitutional role for the American government. McBama both spout rhetoric espousing change but neither has an original idea that resolves the real problems in contemporary America, the government itself. Nothing will change without the people of this great country reclaiming their role and demanding a new direction and you can do exactly that.

No matter your political ideology or candidate of support I encourage everyone, from Republican to Democrat, Green to Libertarian, and Constitutional to Independent to demand open and fair Presidential debates that permit a free and open discussion of ideas amongst all Presidential candidates. This will help move America forward.

What are the major parties so afraid of? Why do they want to keep others out of the debates? The answer is simple. They are afraid of competition! They are desperate to keep power! They know better ideas exist but refuse to implement them because of political cowardice! Help give America a choice.

Here is the petition.

We, the undersigned, support Open Debates' campaign to reform the presidential debate process. We believe that the presidential debates should serve the American people first, not political parties. We support replacing the bipartisan Commission on Presidential Debates with the nonpartisan Citizens' Debate Commission, so that inspiring formats can be employed, pressing national issues can be addressed, and popular independent and third party candidates can be included.
