Houston Southwest Tri-Counties joining a nationwide demonstration against voter suppression

On the 100th Anniversary of Womens Suffrage, Voters Are Once Again Demanding a Voice

Fort Bend, Brazoria, Matagorda Counties On August 8th, 2020 at 11:30, protesters are gathering in the first nationwide driving protest in counties all across the nation. The Fort Bend, Brazoria, and Matagorda Libertarian Parties will lead a group of local community members in a COVID-safe demonstration, driving convoy style down Lexington, Texas Pkwy, Shadow Creek Pkwy, Hwy 288, 518 West, and Hwy 6. They will be decorating their cars parade-style and will go live together on their social media channels.

This is a coordinated effort across the nation with convoys in 107 counties and almost 2000 participants to protest the Commission on Presidential Debates' continued decision to silence the Libertarian Nominee for the United States President, Dr. Jo Jorgensen, and all third parties who are listed on the presidential ballot.

One hundred years ago this year, women were taking to the streets to protest the government to recognize their rights as sovereign citizens, and their right to be heard in elections, led by the League of Womens Voters. The WVC also created the first presidential debates to give American voters a greater understanding of all their presidential candidates. In 1987, the Commission on Presidential Debates was formed to take over sponsorship of the debate and boxed the WVC out.

The CPD created polling restrictions to not allow third-parties in the debate by selecting random polls to determine who is polling above 15%. The catch? Most of these polls do not even mention a 3rd party candidate. Voters are being left in the dark with systemic voter manipulation.

We demand polling restrictions are changed to quantifiable results that cannot be manipulated by the CPD. Third parties who are listed as options on American ballots shall be allowed to debate so that Americans can properly compare their choices.

And its not just third-party voters that think this:

63% of voters surveyed want a third party choice

Veripolls latest results show Dr. Jo Jorgensen polling at 36%

Over one-third of Americans identify as independent

It's been 100 years since the 19th amendment was passed, and Dr. Jo Jorgensen, the only female candidate (who is highly qualified), is still being silenced by the CPD.

Dr. Jo Jorgensen has her Ph.D. in Organizational Psychology, is a Senior Lecturer at Clemson University, is an accomplished entrepreneur, and has a pristine record. The Libertarian Party is one of the only parties in the U.S. that has secured ballot access for presidential candidates in all 50 states. She is an educated and articulate woman with fresh ideas, and with as divided as the American public is, she deserves to be heard.

Government is too big, too bossy, too nosy, and, worst of all, often hurts the very people it intends to help. The government doesnt work; liberty and freedom do. - Dr. Jo Jorgensen

We invite all local press to participate in this grassroots event and meet us in the parking lot of First Colony Church of Christ on August 8, 2020, at 11:30 am for a 30-minute fun-filled rally before the convoy begins to go live as a nation for this historic event!
