Basically, this is about getting third (and hopefully fourth parties) onto the presidential debate stage this Fall. This is important for one simple reason: Choice.
John Stossel was the person from whom I got the following analogy, although I can't find it on the internet, so I will re-tell it as faithfully as my poor memory will allow.
Imagine a town with two restaurants. Everyone eats at the two restaurants. Eventually, both restaurants know they have a monopoly on the business, so they start serving whatever they like. They can serve horse meat, and people will buy it as long as the restaurant calls it steak.
Then a third restaurant opens down the street, but nobody goes there, because everyone always eats at the two main restaurants, even though the food is better at the third restaurant. So where are you eating?
My point is that where there is a choice, and you can get what you want. You may have to go down the street a little ways, but isn't it worth it if your voice (NOT Trump's voice or Hillary's voice or Wall Street's voice or the NRA's voice or the Climate Change fanatics' voice or any of a million other voices) gets heard?
I don't care if you are a conservative or a progressive, Libertarian or Green, Fascist or Communist, whatever label you want to apply to yourself: Give yourself a choice.
When we get at least three, preferably four, parties involved in the presidential debates, we can have those choices.
Go to Twitter tonight between 7-8 pm EST, and make at least one tweet with the hashtag "#Debates4Everyone". Let's get people talking.
