Dr. Morgan Bruce Reeves is the Green Party and United Citizens Party candidate for governor of South Carolina. Despite being the first candidate on the ballot, he is not being included in the televised gubernatorial debates alongside the Republican and Democrat candidates. The reasoning being given is that Dr. Reeves has not shown well in media polls leading up to the debates. Dr. Reeves believes that he has not been given a fair share of media coverage for those who are being polled to be familiar with who he is as a candidate. The lack of media coverage begets lack of voter knowledge begets low poll showings begets denial of entry into televised debates. Dr. Reeves has a plan to complete Reconstruction in South Carolina and allow South Carolinians to invest in the future of this state. He will bring jobs to the state by commencing construction of ethanol and solar power plants, a state-wide wi-fi infrastructure and a high-speed rail system. His education reforms will keep our children and communities safer while providing students the education they need to succeed in the jobs of tomorrow. Dr. Reeves needs your support to gain entry into the gubernatorial debates. The people themselves must speak up to let the state know they will not be bullied by big money politics and media biases and all candidates who have ballot access should be allowed to participate in all the debates. By signing this petition you affirm that you want to hear Dr. Reeves' viewpoints and responses at the gubernatorial debates so that you may make a fully informed decision on election day.

The exclusion of qualified candidates from public discourse limits the options available to the electorate. I am currently reaching out to the debate organizers to formalize the request for inclusion based on the principle of fair competition.

The increase in support demonstrates that many voters want a more inclusive conversation regarding our state leadership. This momentum signals that the public deserves to hear from every candidate who earned a place on the ballot.

Republicans and Democrats should not be afraid of Dr. Reeves or the Green Party. This is America after all.

If you are for legalization I am with you and will gladly support a forward thinking candidate. I will put a sign in my yard for you to show my support. Haley has done nothing but lie, and it is time for some real changes to this state. We need to move in to the 2000'2 and not be looked at as some hillbilly state.

Why are they so scared of a real debate? Just let the guy talk. The two party system is just a way for them to keep the status quo and keep us from having real choices.
