Free And Equal Debate Series Has Begun
By Bob Small
The Free and Equal Debate Series, founded by the Free and Equal Elections Foundation, has been presenting presidential debates since 2008. The major party candidates have never participated but those of the three largest alternative parties — Constitution, Green, and Libertarian — have. The 2024 debate season began Jan. 18.
This debate was moderated by F&E founder Christina Tobin and Kwame Jackson.
The four candidates were Gabriel Cornejo, Frankie Lozada, Stephen Lyons, and Jason Palmer.
These were selected by the Free and Equal voting procedure, explained on their website. Hopefully, the Feb. 29 debate will have more diversity. It can be watched on Rumble and information about it can be found here: https://freeandequal.org/debate/2024-free-equal-presidential-debate/
Concerning the first debate, Gabriel Cornejo of Nevada says he’s running because “our ship is sinking” and he’d “rather stop the people drilling the holes causing the leak than enjoy the music on the way down.”
He describes how, in support of a classmate undergoing chemotherapy, he and 13 other classmates and teachers shaved their heads “to let our friend know he wasn’t alone.”
His Freedom Dividend includes a “$1,000 a month for every person over 18 to spend”, as a way of operating the country like a business.
Steve P. Lyons of Maryland is the only candidate to admit failing second grade, though probably not the only one. He has a list of 19 issues. He says if he becomes president he will prepare for the worst.
“I will have a meeting with all governors, and we will put a 5,000 person task force in place per state,” he says.
He also says he will buy back farmland.
“We will buy every farmland that is up for sale and put legal immigrant farmers and croppers on the lands to allow those lands to flourish with all different types of crops, fruit, and meat. “
He has been a master plumber and gas fitter for over 46 years.
