Open Debates

I came across a petition to 'reform' the debate process. The Petition calls for replacing the current (left-leaning) Commission on Presidential Debates with a new group that will include "popular independent and third party candidates."

Only by cracking into these debates will our candidates ever get enough exposure to change things. Especially with the "campaign-finance reform" laws that dont allow advertising. Yes political ads are annoying, but they are the life-blood of third parties as the media only carries news on the Dems and the GOP.
