IF YOU BELIEVE THAT REAL DEMOCRACY THRIVES ON DIVERSE POLITICAL VOICES AND THAT THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA SUPPRESSES ALTERNATIVE VIEWS, STAND UP FOR YOUR BELIEFS. POST THE FOLLOWING ON YOUR XANGA, PROFILE, OR LIVEJOURNAL, OR E-MAIL IT TO THOSE WHO CARE.
On October 8th at 9PM, two third party candidates were arrested for attempting to enter the Washington University complex holding the second presidential debate. The candidates, Michael Badnarik of the Libertarian Party and David Cobb of the Green Party, chose civil disobedience to fight the bipartisan Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD). Over half of Americans believe third party candidates should be included, yet politicians continue to funnel public funds into the bi-partisan Commission. S.W.A.T. teams were used to deny the will of the American people while mainstream media ignored this historic event, a shameless suppression of political diversity.
Americans deserve to know about the unjust takeover of our political process. I posted this to take matters into my own hands. If you believe that real democracy thrives on diverse political voices and that it's time to use alternative methods to support these voices, post this in your Xanga, profile, or Livejournal, or e-mail it to those who care.
