| Karl Sebelius Webmaster/Online Editor As most of you are probably aware, there has been a decision made by the Commission for Presidential Debates, that will effectively limit your choices to Bill (the first 4 years as President I was just warming up) Clinton and Bob (the first 100 years as Senator I was just warming up) Dole. What perhaps you aren't aware, is how much this effects YOU! There are six candidates who's names will be on enough ballots this November, so that any one of them has a mathematic chance of winning. Of those six, four have gained ballot access in all 50 states. And only half of them are being presented to you in the debates. Even more astounding, is that most polls showed that over 75% of you wanted to have other candidiates besides Clinton and Dole. Most of you wanted to hear from Harry Browne and Ross Perot, who are guaranteed to talk issues, not dodge them like Bill and Bob. But the Commission has decided not to invite them. These 'Big Brothers' are trying to make your choices for you, and limit response from those who would show how that is wrong. Dead WRONG! So what can you do about it? Several things; and not for those candidates who were unjustly not included, but for YOURSELF.

I don't personally believe that Perot has any of the answers. But I feel that he should be in the debates, because alot of Americans want him there. And Harry Browne does have the answers - he should definately be there! Especially since he's the one whose been covered the least, even though the Libertarian Party had 50 states ballot access before Perot. So, the bottom line is: don't let someone else make this choice for you. The only one who can really lose the debates is YOU, if you let them make you think that Clinton and Dole are your only choices. Become informed, know all your choices, and when it comes to election day, be sure to vote for the candidate that best represents your ideas.
