3rd Party Candidate Debate: Gary Johnson is the Libertarian Party's nominee. Jill Stein is the Green Party's nominee. They joined moderator — and host of weekends on All Things Considered — Guy Raz for a debate focusing on domestic issues: the economy, health care and the role of government.

I'm sending you a story about Rick Stewart, a political activist and retired grandfather who drove all the way from Cedar Rapids, Iowa to Washington, DC to convince the Commission on Presidential Debates to open up communications with the public about 3rd party candidates. Please take a look at the story when you get a chance. Mr. Stewart is in DC now and would welcome the chance to talk about his story. His contact information is below.
