Open the Debates
The Open Debates webpage is your central resource for information on the Nader/Gonzalez "Open the Debates!" effort. We will be adding Calls to Action, resources and materials, backgrounders and talking points for our volunteers to use in their efforts to raise awareness and push for recognition of the Nader/Gonzalez agenda in the national debate leading up to election day.
Here are four ways you can take action on Thursday to Open the Debates:
1. Write letters to the editor, to the corporations and organizations sponsoring the CPD debates, to the debate moderators and broadcast organizations, and to your friends and family members. Watch this space for links to writing samples you can use for your campaign.
* The debate schedule and moderators' contact information is listed below.
* Click here to see the corporate sponsors for the CPD debates, with contact information for your phone or letter-writing campaign.
2. Call the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD), Obama and McCain Campaigns, Talk Shows, and National and Local Media Outlets.
* Contact information for the Commission on Presidential Debates, the debate broadcasters, and the other presidential campaigns is listed below.
* Click here to go to our talk radio call-in information page, and check back often for updates.
3. Print posters, fliers and literature to pass out and hang up at college campuses and other high traffic areas, and banners to display to morning and evening rush hour traffic. You'll find links to downloadable materials on the right-hand side of this page. Once again, check back often for additions to the collection.
4. Protest outside the Democratic and Republican headquarters in your community, at corporations that sponsor the debates, at radio stations, newspapers and media outlets not covering Ralph Nader.
