Green Party Stein Struggles for Debates in Fall

"I (Jill Stein) recently found out that lawyers for Mitt Romney are trying to get our lawsuit against
the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) thrown out. Our lawsuit, supported by both Greens and Libertarians, makes the case that the CPD violates antitrust law by excluding independent candidates, essentially giving the establishment parties a monopoly on the presidential debates.
President Obama is also fighting our case for open debates, along with the Democratic and Republican National Committees.
Unlike Romney, Obama, the DNC and the RNC, I believe that debates are for the people, not the parties, and that open debates are essential if we are ever to have real democracy in our country." GreenPartyWebsite
