Open The Debates!
Sep 12, 2020

The field of candidates for President of the United States has solidified, and it is now clear that there will only be FOUR candidates on the ballot in enough states to win the Electoral College, and thereby the Presidency.

While the corrupt Commission on Presidential Debates trots out its tired excuse of thousands of presidential candidates every four years, they have no principled argument for shutting out the only TWO candidates from outside their duopoly that have a mathematical chance of winning.

While we believe in robust debate among the presidential candidates across the political spectrum, including voices who will appear on the ballot in a smaller number of states and can influence the results of this important election, we have always conceded that presidential debates can be narrowed down to candidates on enough ballots to win. At this time, we have updated our petition to reflect the latest ballot status of all presidential contenders.

Our demand to the Commission on Presidential Debates is to scrap their intentionally exclusionary 15% polling threshold, and to #OpenTheDebates to Libertarian Party candidates Jo Jorgensen and Spike Cohen, and Green Party candidates Howie Hawkins and Angela Walker.

We the People deserve and demand free and fair elections.
We the People deserve and demand open debates.

It's time to honor the overwhelming will of the American electorate you claim to serve. #OpenTheDebates!
