LP files Suit To Stop State Funding Of 3rd Debate

Posted by timothy on from the they-would dept.

Mike Oliver writes "Arizona Libertarians have filed a lawsuit that could stop Arizona State University from sponsoring the third presidential debate between George Bush and Sen. John Kerry, scheduled for Oct. 13. The lawsuit maintains that by spending up to $2 million to sponsor the event in Tempe, the university is making an illegal campaign contribution to the Republican and Democratic parties."

    Well, they do have a point. Why can't the DNC/RNC get the Fortune 500 to pay for it the same way they pay for the conventions?

    They're only spending $2M on a Presidential debate? We spent $4.2M on the VP debate. Cheap bastards.
