You Tube is among the most democratic and open forums on the internet - reflect that liberty and allow all the third party candidates to participate!  No goofy barriers, please!

Debate date has come and gone..NO debate. Google cancelled because NObama said no.

Palin invite to event pulled because the DEMOCRATS pressured that they would take away these peoples tax free status!

Get involved. Vote Nader/Gonzalez 2008

In Canada, this month, the main parties tried to exclude the Green Party candidate from the debates. The people and media were outraged, so they pressured the organizers and the main parties, and got her in the debates. The Broadcast consortium has reversed their decision and allowed Elizabeth May to take part in the nationally televised leaders debates . The US people and media should follow this REAL DEMOCRATIC example. See greenparty(dot)ca/en/releases/­09.08.2008b

MORE Voices. MORE Choices.

Let Nader/Gonzalez and other parties "DEBATE".

[lilymare1]

Let other parties debate.

I'm tired of the two-party system.

I want to hear what ALL candidates have to say. This country should be based on equality, the media should be based on complete, unbiased coverage, and Americans should have the right to be fully informed.

We are demanding equal opportunities and coverage of ALL presidential candidates!!

It's no wonder other countries hate us. What a shame America cannot practice what it preaches!

gustav just made a grand appearance in New orleans ay. all who wish to debate needto be abled by the persons in charge to debate.

This opportunity will be marked in history either as one that exposed the truth or one that camouflaged the lies.

If Obama is ducking out of a real debate, expose him as such! Where's the accountability?

I'd like to hear at emerging-party candidates'/independents' perspectives contrasted with the Dems/Repubs.

People will watch a national televised debate with 3rd party candidates with or without the corporate Demohawk & Rebomican parties alongside them

As Nader said, the CPD debates are simply "parrallel interviews" of the 2 candidates repeating the the same campaign rheoric whilst supporting the same policies. There's no debate.

Let third parties & independents debate

-a recent zoby poll shows 50% of Americans want Nader & Barr in the debates

-thousands of people across the country turned out to see the Open the debates Super rally during the DNC & RNC where Nader had invited fellow candidates McKinney,& Barr to join as allies & former independent thinking candidates like Jesse Ventura

-thousands turned out to see Ron Paul's rally for the republic

-there is a demand of progressives, conservatives,libertarians & independents to be represented in the debates
