The system in inherently rigged against third-parties.  Winner-takes-all, etc. prevent the continual existance of any strong third party.

The vast majority of the people want a choice between the main two parties.  If every question has to be answered by the Alaskan Independence Party and the Socialist Workers Party, then we'll only hear from the main two about 1/5 as much, if we're lucky.

Thus I will not sign.

Then petition for that goshdarnit instead.    You can't pick the flowers before you plant them!

So should the Alaskan Independence Party be allowed the same ammount of time as the Republican and Democratic parties?

We need some debates with just the serious candidates.  Have some more beyond the normal 3 if you want some open ones.
