Jill Stein-who is running this year-was arrested and detained for 8 hours in 2012 after trying to enter the debate at Hofstra University. Unfortunately, the two major political parties have a stranglehold on our election process and media coverage-not to mention the Police or "Policy Enforcers"-not Peace Enforcers, as it should be.

Didn't Teddy Roosevelt run third party and become President. A dangerous and bold move maybe they had this planned for awhile. Utilize the money/donations to fund a Warren/Sanders campaign.

Teddy Roosevelt ran third party when Taft got the nomination instead of him,split the GOP vote and gave Woodrow Wilson the win.......third party never works,it just spoils things for the guy most like you.
