Open the Debates Super Rally: Challenge the System
Uploaded by: votenader08
Video Description:
Join us in Denver for the "Open the Debates Super Rally" during the 2008 Democratic National Convention. Open the debates and take democracy back from the bipartisan, corporate tyranny of The Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD).
To ensure that only members of the Democratic and Republican Party are allowed to participate in national presidential debates, the CPD requires that candidates poll at least 15% nationally, as measured by the average of five corporate media polls. When the NONPARTISAN League of Women Voters hoste
d debates, they employed a fair 5% rule as measured by independent polls. Help us challenge the CPD during the "Open the Debates Super Rally" on August 27th in Denver to end corporate control over our electoral process. Special guests TBA. Visit http://www.votenader.org for more info as the even
t develops. Video by Manila Ryce http://www.youtube.com/ManilaRyceTLM

| Every American who stands for leaders who will fight corporate crime, protect everyone from health care being denied or driving us into hopeless debt, will implement significantly more efficient energy technology and renewable energy, and will restore our Bill of Rights by abolishing the Patriot Act, needs to support Ralph Nader's participation in all of our Presidential debates. |

| Nader's a great debater and would shame the competition. That is the only reason Ralph Nader isn't allowed at the debates. Keep Freedom! Open the Debates! Let's vote in a real president, not a corporate puppet! |

| Hey Ralph, thanks for everything you've done over the years! Lots of us on the right want open debates, also! Will you invite Bob Barr and Chuck Baldwin to Denver, also? That would be great! Or, can y'all come to Minneapolis during the Republican National Convention? Left and Right unite for open debates! |

| Agreed, but don't forget about adding Barr into the debates. |

| Who's Barr |
| Bob Barr, is a ... ( 3 months ago by kawahawk76) |
| Bob Barr, is a former Republican running as a Libertarian and is currently polling 4th behind Obama, McCain and Nader. I will be writing to both McCain and Obama's campaign asking them to open up the debates, if not to everyone, then AT LEAST to the former standards set forth by the League of Women Voters ... the standards that Nader already exceeds (5% in the polls) and also "allowed" Perot to debate in 1992. |

| hey could you comment on my page or massage me, but i 'd rather you just comment on my page, or gohead and check out one of my vids, and comment on that, and we can share comments on that if you don't mind cause I am desperate for vid comments , i mite just agree with an obama head if it it mite get a couple more rates, and comments out of it, lol im kidding i would'nt. but what percent did Nader get in 2000? |
| I'll check out your ... ( 3 months ago by kawahawk76) |
| I'll check out your page after this. But I believe Nader "only" got 1% in 2000. He is already polling way ahead of that across the nation, yet he's getting far less press. Why? To keep it between a Republican and Democrat perhaps. And a positive follow up to that question is, despite getting so little coverage, why is Nader polling higher? I can't say why for others, but for me, I am hungry for a real national dialogue about policy. |

| Yep the Debates MUST be OPEN to the other parties also. |

| it's Only Natureal for him to pol hight then he did the first time, Im not all the way sure about it; but i would think every body who eventually made it to the white house who ran more then once or twice polled, and got more votes each time around, it's all building momentum so the next you may just when the Political War of Your Life, and Hopefully Honerably. Cynthia and the Green Party ....next comment. |
| are only looking ... ( 3 months ago by 1DjRadeoConscyous) |
| are only looking for 5% and it's still too soon to say they won't pull it ouy; but even if they don't lets hope, there is still a country left for us to build Momentum on. |
