Free and Equal looks forward to a spirited contest using this unique debate format.

Free and Equal Elections has partnered with TheyWillBeHeard.com, Restore The Republic, and Restore the Republic Radio to present the Vice-Presidential Debate.

These organizations, despite our differences of ideology, have come together to ensure that third parties have a voice on the political stage –a voice that the mainstream media will not allow them to have.

The debate will be broadcast by local television, and can be viewed by live web stream at: http://www.FreeandEqual.org by Restore the Republic Radio.

Free and Equal is committed to raising the level of political discourse in this country by providing a platform for non-mainstream presidential candidates to reach out to the American People.
