Ventura claim on Ross Perot

[cswake]

I wasn't familiar with what they did to Ross in 1996. For those of you looking for validation of his claim:

I ross perotbelieve that when 76 percent of the voters want me in the debates, they should have a voice that overrides five Democrats and five Republicans in the Debate Commission who don't want me in the debates. This is about letting the people listen to the candidates. Jim, in today's world, if you're not in the presidential debates, you can't be competitive.

The third presidential debate in 1992 had an audience of 97 million people. So let's go back to what this country is supposed to be about. The voters own this country. The people own this country, not five Republicans and five Democrats. Jim, they wouldn't even talk to anyone in the Reform Party while they were meeting with one another all through the two parties. They thinks this belongs to them. The American people don't even know that this is a private corporation, funded privately, and they don't know that this organization won't even tell you who funds it. We'll get that in a few days, and we'll tell you, and you're going to see some really big special interests who fund the Debate Commission.

So we're going to pull this little skunk up by the tail and let the American people see how the system is being manipulated and why the people have to pay the price but don't get the benefits.

*edit* I thought it would be relevant to throw in a reference to his attempt at removing ignorance from the 2008 race: http://perotcharts.com/home/

unconstitutional group and a half

i remember filing against the PDC and the FEC just ignored everything to do with the 15% rule.

I did get a hearing but without lots of money ...no chance to do anything.

Its too bad we didnt have the CFL back then we could have made their lives deservedly miserable

That you can google for, but here's some motive soup:
