How many podiums fit on a debate stage? Every election season, the mainstream media outlets that host the debates manage to cram an unseemly amount of them onto the stages for the primaries, to give the dozens of republican and democratic hopefuls an opportunity to speak their piece. Yet for the General Election, they claim they need to weed it down to just two candidates in order for it to be reasonable and go out of their way to come up with arbitrary reasons to exclude Libertarians and other third-party candidates from the stages.
A hurdle to clear just like ballot access, debate access is a tough nut to crack, and one that continues to elude outsider candidates trying to get their message to voters on a budget. This issue isn’t new for most Libertarians, and I’m not going to rehash it for you tonight. I wrote about it earlier for Jeremy Kauffman’s campaign, and I’ll let you read what I wrote there for yourself!
Live Free and Thrive: 101 Reasons Why Liberty Lives in New Hampshire

We’re also going to be producing a brand new documentary about it as well! And we have a great crowdfunding campaign started to help produce it so we can publish it for free!
All donors will be thanked in the credits, and there are producer credits available still if you are interested! Reach out to me with any questions!
