If we truly live in a democracy, then third-party candidates should be included in presidential debates.

Recent Gallup polls indicate that 49% of Americans now identify as politically independent, moving away from the traditional two-party system due to growing dissatisfaction. Despite this shift, third-party candidates such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and others are often left out of crucial debates.

Reports suggest that President Biden and Trump have informally agreed to keep the presidential race a two-candidate contest—a strategy opposed by 70% of Americans.

RFK Jr. argues that keeping him out of debates is not democracy, a concern many Americans share because they're eager to hear what he and others have to say.

Stop this censorship; demand that third party candidates participate in the debates and let the people choose.

Including RFK Jr. and others such as West and Stein would ensure all voices are heard, adhering to the democratic principles our nation values.

By signing this petition, you are not just supporting a balanced political discourse, but also playing a crucial role in ensuring every American feels represented in governmental decisions. Your signature could be the catalyst for change. 

To date, CNN has extended invitations to just Biden and Trump. Please sign this petition to help get third party candidates on the debate stage!

Thank you for considering this vital cause.
