On October 30, Gary Johnson and Jill Stein will debate each other in New York city. This debate is sponsored by Free & Equal. The determination of which two candidates are invited was made by those individuals who voted on Free & Equal’s web page over the last few days. Voters used Instant-Runoff voting to choose among the four presidential candidates who had participated in Free & Equal’s first debate, held October 23.
On November 4, Johnson, Stein, Rocky Anderson, and Virgil Goode, will debate each other in Washington, D.C. This debate is hosted by Ralph Nader. The location is Busboys and Poets, 2021 14th St. NW, Washington, D.C. 20009. The room only has room for an audience of 100 people. However, Busboys and Poets will live stream the event, which can be watched at the restaurant-bookstore’s own web page. The event will last for two hours, from 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm. UPDATE: the event is open only to credentialed media.
Richard, any word on how we can reserve tickets, or is it first come first serve? I have been to events at Poetry and Prose in DC which is a really small shop. Hope this one is bigger.
The web page doesn’t say anything about tickets, so I assume it is first come-first serve.
The announcement page at Nader.org says “this event is open to media only”, but you should contact them anyway. See here: http://nader.org/2012/10/25/ralph-nader-to-host-third-party-presidential-debate-in-d-c-114/
#3, thank you very much. I added that to the blog post just now.
They’ve all got to be smoking their drug war to think that one hundred members of the media will attend.
It is relatively easy to obtain (or manufacture) “media” credentials.
5) You got to keep in mind, it’s still a story and might look good on a resume. Plus, with all the media in D.C., you could get a hundred reporters to a pancake eating contest!!
How about getting C-SPAN or PBS or even CNN, MSNBC to televise this important event of national interest.
