We actually have four candidates running for president of the United States, but are told there are only two choices.

The two you seldom hear about are Jill Stein, Green Party, and Gary Johnson, Libertarian Party. We are told "they can’t win," likely true if we don’t hear anything about or from them. Their proposed policies threaten those held by the establishment Republican and Democratic parties.

The Commission on Presidential Debates, the gatekeeper for debate participation, is a private corporation run by the Democrat and Republican parties. It is in their interest to present the voting public with just their side of the issues.

The mainstream media is complicit in silencing additional voices.

If you want to hear Green Party candidate Jill Stein respond to the questions raised in the first debate go to www.democracynow.org. Click on links part 1 and 2 to hear Dr. Stein respond. Gary Johnson was invited but unable to attend.

Look at their websites for their positions on issues: http://www.jill2016.com/plan and https://www.johnsonweld.com

What does democracy look like to you? To me it is when citizens are given every opportunity to make truly informed choices about our country’s leaders — when all voices are heard.
