On April 1, 2015, the Commission on Presidential Debates put on its webpage that “The CPD board will soon announce a transparent online process for receiving and reviewing submissions from any organization or individual who wishes to share their ideas.” The announcement specifically mentioned ideas for greater inclusion of candidates. However, it has been almost six weeks since April 1, and the CPD has not yet acted on this promise.

Our Mission
The Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) was established in 1987 to ensure that debates, as a permanent part of every general election, provide the best possible information to viewers and listeners. Its primary purpose is to sponsor and produce debates for the United States presidential and vice presidential candidates and to undertake research and educational activities relating to the debates. The organization, which is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, 501(c)(3) corporation, sponsored all the presidential debates in 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008, and 2012.
To meet its ongoing goal of educating voters, the CPD is engaged in various activities beyond producing and sponsoring the presidential debates. Its staff prepares educational materials and conducts research to improve the quality of debates.
Further, the CPD provides technical assistance to emerging democracies and others interested in establishing debate traditions in their countries. In recent years, the staff worked with groups from Bosnia, Burundi, Colombia, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Haiti, Jamaica, Lebanon, Niger, Nigeria, Peru, Romania, Trinidad and Tobago, Uganda, and the Ukraine, among others. Finally, the CPD coordinates post-debate symposia and research after many of its presidential forums: 1996 Post-Debate Symposium, 1992 Post-Debate Research, 1988 Post-Debate Symposium.
I have been very active since 1992. Candidate for congress in 1994 and candidate for many other offices. Ross Perot was the last third party candidate to be included. I am sure you took a lot of heat for letting him in the debate. I am presently a Republican committeeman so I can be involved in your game.
Start looking for glacial action by the CPD to delay any inclusive debates until after 2016.
past time to bail on the GOP (and of course the DEM)
If your state lets you file / register in a political party and even if the Natural Born Citizen Party does not yet have ballot access in your state, we are seeking pro se litigants for state and federal court now for next year’s CINC/POTUS election/ ballot access.
