The candidates from the Libertarian and Green parties were arrested while trying to get into the presidential debate last night.

The first report from St. Louis is in – and presidential candidates Michael Badnarik (Libertarian) and David Cobb (Green Party) were just arrested. Badnarik was carrying an [order to show cause](http://thelfactor.org/arizona*state*lawsuit.html

)

which he intended to serve the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD). Earlier today, Libertarians attempted to serve these same papers at the Washington, D.C. headquarters of the CPD – but were stopped from approaching the CPD office by security guards.

Exactly… how can it possibly be a valid debate when a candidate that is on [nearly every states’ ballot](http://badnarik.org/ballotaccess.php) isn’t allowed to participate?

This is why we as citizens never have any choice except what the Republicrats wish us to have. That’s not very democratic.
