You have nothing to lose...
Don't let anyone tell you these guys are kooks (the standard response of people who don't want business as usual disrupted...). They are on enough ballots to win the electoral votes to pull it off. Dems & Repubs have set up the debate criteria specifically to keep them out and to keep them from making their own candidates look bad. They do not look good in lipstick though.
For the record: The CPD (who make the rules for getting into the debates is made up of Dems and Repubs. Here's a statement from the League of Women Voters when they withdrew their sponsorship of the presidential debates:
"The League of Women Voters is withdrawing sponsorship of the presidential debates...because the demands of the two campaign organizations would perpetrate a fraud on the American voter. It has become clear to us that the candidates' organizations aim to add debates to their list of campaign-trail charades devoid of substance, spontaneity and answers to tough questions. The League has no intention of becoming an accessory to the hoodwinking of the American public."
Sorry, but to me the Dems and Repubs are two wings of a single bird of prey that has the people and the Constitution in it's clutches.
