We, the People, are taking our presidential elections back. Corporate control of the media is one issue. Corporate media control of the information that is allowed to reach American citizens is much more dangerous, much more sinister, and much more un-American.

Let them all on stage and let the people decide who is good and who is not. Stop hiding candidates.

The media plays favorites and its honestly insulting to the voters. Stop dictating who we get to see.
