Electoral Democracy in Crisis - Christina Tobin from Free & Equal

Christina Tobin from Free & Equal - a public advocacy group calling for equitable treatment and access of 3rd party candidates to media, debates and public forums, will be joining Open Rebellion on Thursday, September 1st at 6PM Central.

Richard Cameron will host Ms. Tobin as she outlines the problems of the existing status quo of exclusion and limited exposure to diverse voices and candidates - and shares solutions. You can call in with your thoughts and questions for Ms. Tobin on our listener line, (773) 897-6299.

Here is a quote from Ms. Tobin on the topic of her organization's mission:

"We work to give all ballot-qualified candidates the opportunity to debate important political issues in public forums. We want to help level the political playing field and to inspire more independents and alternative party candidates to run for office. We want to empower and encourage more people, especially young people, to get involved in the discussion, participate in the political process and hold their government accountable."

During our second hour, we will hear from Trevor Loudin. Trevor's interview will be pre-recorded so you will not be able to call in. Trevor Loudon is an author, speaker and activist.
