Join us for the BlogTalk Radio and Google+ presidential debates this week!

The next presidential debate is Tuesday, October 16th and the Commission on Presidential Debates has yet to invite Dr. Jill Stein or any other third party candidates. As we have the past two debates, we invite you to make some noise during the CPD debate to help get our messages into the political discourse. But, we also have two exciting opportunities for you to participate in this week - two alternative debates!

Join us this week as Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein and Libertarian candidate and former Governor of New Mexico, Gary Johnson face off for the first time!

Wednesday, October 17th at 4pmPT/7pmET

BlogTalk Radio will be hosting the candidates and giving them an opportunity to respond to the same questions asked during the previous evening’s CPD Town Hall presidential debate, as well as respond to the answers given by Obama and Romney. Join us on BlogTalk Radio!

Each participant will appear using live, videoconference technology and respond to questions submitted online from citizens like you!

The online presidential debate will focus on five key topics in domestic policy including:

1. Tax and Economic Policy,
2. Energy,
3. Housing and Financial Regulation,
4. Foreign Policy, and
5. One topic selected based upon online user response.

IVN.us will be looking to voters across the country to participate by submitting their questions for the candidates within each topic. Each topic will include two questions submitted using the hashtag #indyvote on Google+ and Twitter, or responding to calls for questions on the ‘Independent Voter’ Facebook Page.

The debate can be viewed live on October 18, 2012 beginning at 4pm Pacific on IVN.us, or on IVN.us’ Google+ and YouTube page.
