1. I know various places have suggested the debate commission’s non-profit basis should be challenged. However what I keep wondering is whether they can be gone after for the fraud of raising $millions claiming to be non-partisan, when in reality they are bi-partisan which we know is drastically different. The primary debates often feature several candidates, some of whom presumably are polling below 15%, which suggests the real reason they limit the major party debates is to support their 2 party backers. It seems all the expenses associated with their “joint appearance” should be viewed as a campaign contribution.

2. We already knew that was going to happen, hence the organization of another protest. Since this one is occurring rather close to where I live (I live in southern IL), I’ll probably be there.

3. I guess Gary Johnson and William Weld are giving up the Presidential Election.Johnson is planning to campaign against Hillary and Weld is going to help defeat Trump.Now voters should just vote for them to maintain ballot access or send a message to Washington maybe help them win 5 or 6 states to . Libertarian party should not give up the Presidential campaign or any other campaigns and concede early .The Green party should keep fighting and maybe try to win Vermont or another New England State .Maybe Trump will shoot himself in the foot andaybe the electorate will decide to go elsewhere.This Election is worthless and the worst like the 84 Elections when voters had very little third party or independent choices to choose from .If you are a third party voter have a door to door block wall and encourage others to vote for your favorite third party Candidates .It’s not to late .Send a letter to the Newspaper to .What George Wallace did in 68 could happen this year
   Maybe Johnson or Stein could do better than Perot who won know states .It’s up to you to make it happen .

5. It doesn’t matter if you support Gary Johnson or Jill Stein Keep fighting .Go door to door knocking and place those door hangars .Have yard signs in your front yard .Keep up the good fight .Don’t give up .Send letters to the editors of different Newspapers in your surround areas .Do it know .Don’t wait until Halloween .

6. Joshua let your neighbors know they have an alternative to the two major crooked party’s candidates .Knock on some doors in Carbondale Illinois.Call in on the local non commercial communitiy radio station in Carbondale when some show has open forum .I don’t care who you are supporting .Just keep up the good fight .

7. Don’t worry William, I’ve been doing plenty of that this past year or so. I’ve been petitioning, canvassing, staffing booths at festivals, writing letters to the editor, the whole nine yards. I’d be a fairly lousy precinct committeeman if I wasn’t active in the campaign efforts. We’ll keep fighting; democratic elections and the freedoms of speech and association demand no less.

   Here’s a letter to the editor that I just got published yesterday in the Carbondale Times, in fact:

   “If anyone thought the political party INGSOC, from George Orwell’s novel 1984, was purely fiction, recent events have shown that that may no longer be the case. Its real-life equivalent is named the Democratic Party. Yes, the Republican Party has its share of flaws, but when it comes to sheer doublespeak, they don’t hold a candle to the Democrats, whose very party name is a practice in it.

   The Democrats first started down the path towards becoming the real-life equivalent of INGSOC in the aftermath of the 2000 Presidential election. As many people are well aware, this was one of the most controversial elections in our nation’s history, involving a purge of the voter rolls before the election, and then a botched recount in Florida followed by the involvement of the Supreme Count, who ruled that George W. Bush won the election even though Gore ultimately won the popular vote. Analysis of the election data reveal that, in Florida alone, over 200,000 Democrats voted for Bush; Ralph Nader received about 97,000 votes in the state. Seven other minor political parties in Florida received more votes than the number of votes separating Bush and Gore.

   Despite all of these facts being easily researchable online, the Democratic Party Establishment chose instead to find a scapegoat. They chose to vilify a man who had spent decades serving the public good, and the party that he ran on. To this day one will find in online comment sections the names of Ralph Nader and the Green Party associated with the word “spoiler”. The spoiler theory assumes that voters would have voted Democrat or Republican were it not for a third party “stealing” votes by simply being on the ballot. This belief is antithetical to the very freedoms of speech and association, to democratic elections themselves, as it attacks the very right of people to run campaigns independent of the two current ruling parties. And thus we have a political party that, as it is currently being led, doesn’t believe in democratic elections yet calls itself the “Democratic” Party. This is a classic example of Orwellian doublespeak.

   And just recently, even the President of the United States, one of the major drivers of policy in our country, has used the spoiler theory while campaigning for Clinton, having apparently decided that his party’s victory is more important than the right of the people to vote for the candidate that they agree with most.

   If the so-called Democratic Party is allowed to get away with tactics such as these, our First Amendment rights will have been further weakened by our own hand. And if one day we lose in its entirety our right to criticize the ruling parties and run against them in free and fair democratic elections, what would stop the ruling Establishment from finishing off other Constitutional rights such as the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Eighth Amendments?

   Keep this in mind when deciding who to vote for this November.”

8. Communist Clinton (See the short Animal Farm book) vs. Fascist Trump ??? Duh.

   Do NOT vote for EVIL.

9. If you run for public office, you should be able to get equal debate and media access. Create a public debate commission, or make the FEC the organization in charge of hosting Presidential debates. In my opinion, just like when insiders in the duopolist parties started using polling averages to decide who qualifies for the main debate or the undercard debate is just unfair and shouldn’t be used. All candidates who have a chance to hypothetically win an Electoral College majority should be included in all debates. And if you have 6 qualified candidates, so be it. TV stations should also make it a point to have their own debates.

10. I seen that Gary Johnson polls numbers have slipped to 5 percent on New Hampshire.

11. It is time to start holding accountable the media outlets that give prime time national network air time to these partisan events. They could easily host open debates, as they do in the primaries. They will ignore the free and equal debates in late October, which invite any presidential candidate with ballot access for a majority of electoral votes.

12. I’m sending a message by voting for one of the seven registered write ins in MI.
