SYSTEM EXCLUSIONARY

The Commission on Presidential Debates is arrogant in excluding Ross Perot or any other independent candidate from the presidential debate.

It is said that you and I, the general public, have no right to hear any other candidate debate but the ones listed as Republican or Democrat.

It is time to change this! The two-party system is not serving the country well - it is too exclusionary.
