Freeandequal.org has teamed up with Restore The Republic Radio (rtrradio.com) to bring back the third party debate that nearly did not happen. Restore the Republic Radio will have live audio and video coverage of the debate that will take place at Thursday October 23rd at 8pm EST with post debate coverage and live interviews until midnight. So far the debate is confirmed to have Ralph Nader and Chuck Baldwin. All the third party candidates who have enough possible electoral votes to win the election have been invited. More details will be provided as this develops.

Was a fierce Independent because of statements made in George Washington's farewell address about how the party system would damage the nation. (He was right). Became interested in the Libertarian party because of Ron Paul. I helped get Mike Gravel into the LP, and joined the party with him. And contrary to what people have said, we are not going anywhere. We are in the Libertarian party from now on. Get used to it.

C-SPAN may not have it live, but we will at rtrradio.com
response I got from FreeandEqual regarding the broadcast. PASS IT ON:
———————-
C-SPAN has confirmed for the event, though they have yet to confirm whether it will be live. If you would like to give them a call to request they broadcast it live, that’d be very useful. It’s the type of incentive that may help get all 4 candidates to confirm and make for the best debate possible.
Please have others you know do the same if they’d to help this event get maximum exposure. Thanks.
C-SPAN main #: (202) 737-3220

*cough cough* Babbarr…
Here’s some words of wisdom to all my fellow Barr-watchers:
Remember, remember, the fifth of November…
Does anyone know anything about that?
According to a comment at TPW, Barr has already backed out again.

Jason Pye of the Barr campaign has said Barr will not make it. I asked and he responded. I’m glad I swithced my vote to Ralph Nader from Bob Barr. I feel good about Nader as a person, you can count on him
Hopefully McKinney will be there.
I am pretty sure that is what he meant.
It also still looks like there is a possibility of C-SPAN covering it. If they do and Barr backs out again I think it will be very obvious that he was little more then a neo-con shill all along.
23rd?
Tune in at 7 PM Eastern on October 3 to the North Virginia Patriots show. We will have Pre and Post debate commentary and analysis.

As I understand it we basically brought the radio to it. They have a mogulus video channel that they rarely used, but that’s about it.
I mean, the radio side of the operation came from Revolution broadcasting…or was RTR already doing radio pre-merger?
Well now we are one in the same. Revolution Broadcasting merged with Restore the Republic to make rtrradio.com
I think the radio side came more from Revolution Broadcasting though, right?
Restore the Republic is the organization that the late Aaron Russo formed. It is basically a political activist group that is big on the Constitution, getting rid of the income tax, etc. I think the best way to learn about them is to watch “Freedom to Fascism” or visit http://www.restoretherepublic.net/home.php
I just wanted to ask everyone here, what exactly is Restore the Republic? And what is your opinion of it?
I do that with my own articles too BTW.
Nothing to be sorry about – that’s good info to have.
I actually just linked the other article because it has already dropped off the front page, even though it’s from today, and I thought people who are interested in this one would be interested in that one as well.
Sorry, just wanted to add the new info.
