This morning, Christina Tobin, Director of Free and Equal, announced an
Independent/Third Party Presidential Debate, which will take place on
Thursday evening at 9:00pm EST on October 23 in Washington DC at the
Mayflower Renaissance Hotel.

All six candidates who qualified for enough state ballot lines to be
eligible to win the presidency on November 4th have been invited.

To date, two candidates have confirmed participation: Independent
Presidential Candidate Ralph Nader, and Constitution Party Presidential
Candidate Chuck Baldwin, who have been endorsed by Congressman Ron Paul.

The debate will last for 90 minutes, and follow the below format:

-No opening statements

-There will be six of the following question and answer series: The
moderator will pose a question. Each candidate will be permitted 90
seconds to respond. The candidates' preliminary answers will be followed
by a 5-minute "discussion" period, during which the moderator will be
permitted unlimited follow-up questions and the candidates would be
encouraged to engage one another in actual debate. This will last about
60 minutes.

-After the above six question-and-answer series, each candidate will be
permitted to ask a single question of one or more of the other
candidates, with each candidate permitted 90 seconds to respond. This
will last about 10 minutes.

-After this, submitted questions from the audience will be selected and
