The Commission on Presidential Debates determines whether or not a candidate can be included in the debates based on their performance in five selected national polls. For one to be included in the debates, said candidate must achieve a polling average of 15% nationwide. To achieve this, potential candidates need to be included in national polls. Therefor:



We the people, respectfully request USA media and all polls relevant to the debates to include any and all presidential candidates who have achieved ballot access in at least 75% of states, giving them at least access to enough electoral votes to achieve the 270 votes required to become President of the United States of America. This would require a candidate to achieve a minimum of ballot access in 38 states, with the potential to achieve the 270 electoral votes. This sets a minimum standard and achieves equality and a basis for future candidates to meet to potentially become president.



We the people, believe that Governor Gary Johnson, Libertarian Party Candidate and Doctor Jill Stein, Green Party Candidate for President of the United States deserve to be included in any and all relevant national polls.



Recent polls have shown that both candidates are achieving the minimum 5% already in nearly, if not all national polls, to receive public funding of presidential candidates, should they actually receive the 5% of the votes, yet national polls fail to include potential presidential candidates outside of the duopoly that is the United States of America.



In recent months, support for new party candidates, such as the Libertarian Party and the Green Party have reached unimaginable support. The duopoly of bipartisan candidates being the only viable candidates is coming to an end. We are no longer voting for the lesser of two evils. This year, we're CHOOSING from the BEST of four candidates. We deserve more.

When limited to only two options, people are often simply choosing the lesser of two evils. This needs to end. With the most polarizing candidates in the Democratic and Republican parties, new party candidates are receiving unprecedented support. They deserve to be included in all relevant national polls.



We the people, as undersigned, demand more! PLEASE include all potential candidates, meeting said standard requirements, in all national polls relevant to the debates!

Respectfully, we deserve more. We demand more. We need a standard of equality across the board.

Thank you,

Sincerely,

We The People
