It is time to demand of your current political officials that more parties are allowed to run and of your media that they are given coverage!

Anyway, I've heard that the Tea Party attracts Democrats and Republicans, among other ideologies of people. Were there ANY Democrat Tea Party candidates? Don't you think a 'Tea Party' Party would split the GOP vote?

We had several 3rd party people on the slate around here but the press hardly ever says how they did or even shows them on the screen durring results. They just show the total votes cast for the two large party runners and disregard the % or total for the others. Its rather shameful if you ask me.

I can't agree more, shame on the American media for their treatment of candidates without a D or R behind their names!
I get a lot of flack on here for not going after the media enough some feel. Being part of it myself though I'll say when I think they are absolutely in the wrong and this is a perfect example.
Write editors, cancel subscriptions and above all, write to advertisers on this, don't give up until every vote matters!
