There is a candidate’s debate coming this fall, and the voters deserve to hear from all the candidates who will be on the ballot. The Republicans and Democrats have colluded to exclude me because they don’t want you, the voters, to hear the only candidate with ideas rooted in personal liberty. Greg Abbott doesn’t care about your rights. Lupe Valdez is economically illiterate. There will be exactly one candidate on the ballot in November who respects your personal liberty as well as your wallet. Do you agree? Then join us in this fight to have our voice heard. The Libertarian Party of Texas has fulfilled every requirement to attain ballot access. If we are on the ballot, we should be in the debate. Texas voters deserve to know all their choices. I await an invitation from Nexstar. Mark Tippetts, Libertarian candidate for Texas governorTippetts earned the nomination in a hotly-contested four-way race last April. Then you have people like the Austin Chronicle‘s Chase Hoffberger, who honestly believes Tippetts should never be invited to the debate, moreorless future debates. A rumored second debate is planned for October 8. Boy, did Hoffberger’s article bit him in the behind, as cited in the comments:
