This is an unprecedented moment in American politics. The old rules no longer apply, and the new rules are as yet unwritten. Never before have we seen such a ruckus about a potential independent campaign this far out from a presidential election.
Most of all, the American people are fed up with a fundamentally broken political system. The time for solutions is now. The time for meaningful, constructive, and inclusive debate is now.
While we hold no illusions about forcing open the 2020 presidential debates to all candidates on enough ballots to win, we think this could be the election cycle that does it. We are gearing up to build a national grassroots force that can change the political conversation and the political realities on the ground.
We’re focusing where we are confident we can win some smaller victories and build momentum for the bigger battles ahead. There are 3 gubernatorial elections in 2019, in Kentucky, Louisiana, and Mississippi, and we will work to ensure that any general election debates are open to all ballot-qualified candidates.
But we welcome the jolt of independent-minded energy into the 2020 presidential election cycle, and we will ride the wave as far as it will take us.
Best of all, thanks to a matching gift from a generous donor, the next $10,000 we raise on this Crowdpac campaign will be matched, dollar for dollar!
Now you can make an investment in a healthy and vibrant democracy, and double your impact today! The time to #OpenTheDebates to #MoreVoicesBetterChoices is NOW!
