No More Lesser Than 2 Evils!
This sounds like a really promising group if we give them the support to help take back our voting rights. Check it out:
The Issue
The Presidential debates -- the single most important electoral event in the process of selecting a President -- should provide voters with an opportunity to see the popular candidates discussing important issues in an unscripted manner.Â* But the Presidential debates fail to do so, because the major party candidates secretly control them.
Presidential debates were run by the civic-minded and non-partisan League of Women Voters until 1988, when the national Republican and Democratic parties seized control of the debates by establishing the bi-partisan, corporate-sponsored Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD). Posing as a nonpartisan institution committed to voter education, the CPD has continually and deceptively run the debates in the interest of the national Republican and Democratic parties, not the American people.
Every four years, negotiators for the Republican and Democratic nominees secretly draft debate contracts called Memoranda of Understanding that dictate precisely how the debates will be structured; co-chaired by the former heads of the Republican and Democratic parties, the CPD obediently implements the contracts, shielding the major party candidates from public criticism.
Such deceptive major party control severely harms our democracy. Candidates that voters want to see are often excluded; issues the American people want to hear about are often ignored; the debates have been turned into a series of glorified bipartisan news conferences, in which the candidates exchange memorized soundbites; and debate viewership has generally dropped, with twenty-five million fewer people watching the 2000 presidential debates than watching the 1992 presidential debates.Â* Walter Cronkite called CPD-sponsored presidential debates an “unconscionable fraud.â€

If your not a crook and a traitor you won't make it very far in this country anymore. The days of honesty and intergrity are gone.
We and people all over the world are being pigeon holed into working like slaves for slave wages. Work for yourself? Too risky, no loan for you. Better go get a job working for the slave drivers.
Which means that you have to work for and thus support the criminals hiring illegals, which makes you a criminal out of necessity, you have no choice if you want to pay your bills. The criminals are forcing us to work for these criminals which supports the criminal agenda.
I ALWAYS VOTE 3rd PARTY, LETS ALL DO IT THIS TIME AND TELL THEM HELL NO, THIS IS OUR COUNTRY!Unless we get those criminals & make them pay for what they have done to our country and the lawlessness they have sponsored, we are just another Mexico ourselves!
