The crumpling of ideals

Two Presidential candidates -- for the Green and Libertarian parties -- attempted to serve papers on the Commission on Presidential Debates, demanding the right to participate. As they attempted to approach the CPD officials, they were arrested:

The first report from St. Louis is in - and presidential candidates Michael Badnarik (Libertarian) and David Cobb (Green Party) were just arrested. Badnarik was carrying an Order to Show Cause, which he intended to serve the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD). Earlier today, Libertarians attempted to serve these same papers at the Washington, D.C. headquarters of the CPD - but were stopped from approaching the CPD office by security guards.


Undoubtably you have head about this. I just wanted to post it here to say.... WTF? How can our democracy be healthy when opposion candidates are arrested?

here is the link to the Libertarian's site. I mean yes they currently stand no chance of winning, but I dunno.... seems kinda 3rd world tactics
