Ponderance : Politics

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.
