GaryJohnson should be included in debates
GOP Debates, we are no longer a free
country, everything and everyone has to
be monitored. Good for the two sponsors who
pulled out due to exclusion of GJ . The former
New Mexico Gov. would have something to
offer. Any opinion is better than Obamas.

Neither Romney nor Obama has the attitude or direction that is needed for the presidency. Let the people see the difference in Johnson's platform.

I have another comment: This is to castigize your behavior in not allowing a Constitutionalist join the debates.
You and the world should be or become aware that the RNC only a month ago has literally ended for all time the possibility of fair elections in the Nominating process at the Republican Convention. Why, because they made a rule that states in effect, only candidates who are "approved" by the GOP can participate in the RNC, which means that a grass roots candidate will be shut out, period. To make certain the RNC did not miss any loopholes, they created an end all rule: "the RNC can create a new rule at any time, even during the RNC proper." In other words, there will Never be fair elections in America again where nominating a Republican candidate is concerned because the RNC/GOP will decide for us. Our votes are meaningless.
Now, why are you not aware of this - you, who hold the authority as to who is in the debates and who is not? Until proven otherwise, I find you guilty of voting for the Almighty Dollar rather than for what is Right and Just. You who are a not for profit organization, I suspect of being a not for America organization. With the most important elections in the history of America about to unfold, it is time to show your colors.
Do what is right.

Yes, Gary Johnson Must be included in debates if we give a damn about America. The two party system has been corrupted for decades but now you can't tell the difference between Republicans and Democrats. Romney is so Not conservative that he really is a democrat at heart, and of course, Obama, who is most likely not even American, is a dictator who sees the U.S. Constitution as a hindrance to his ideals. Romney is okay with the Patriot Act, the NDAA, and the Federal Reserves QE3, and thinks as Obama does, that we can print money enough to get out of this depression. Romney has no clue how economics works. Romney can't wait to kill Iranians but Obama is hesitant to kill his brother Muslims. Israel will make us go to war with a false flag op - wait and see.
If there are intelligent people in your organization, why are you letting a stupid rule like 15% stop you from helping America, this is not a time to be picayune, besides, most are unaware of GJ and he will garner 40% within two debates for certain. If we do not do an about face and lower taxes substantially across the board, with much deregulation, and curtail spending, we will have a crash t hat may literally end America for all time because there will be country wide riots, a civil war will ensue.

He should also be included in this years presidential debates. Why should it matter what the polls say about the percentage he has? Are the polls running our political system now. He is representing the Libertarian Party and should be included. Our two party system is a disaster and more parties should be included. I live in New Mexico and am a registered Republican. Our primary in is the summer and it had already been decided who would represent the republican Party, so what good were our votes. We need real reform in our political system as the people are getting desperate as no one is listening!

YES.

All parties with Candidates on the ballot whether it be Libertarian,Green,Constitutionalist or Independent should be included in the debates! It is contrary to the spirit of Our Nation to suppress the Freedom Of Speech and the Right of the Voters to be informed!
