YWCA Drops Debate Sponsorship Over Exclusion of Third-Party Candidates

Recently, Rick Stewert and Jason Melehani, two supporters of Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson, wrote a letter to the Young Women's Christian Association asking them to withdraw their sponsorship of the Commission on Presidential Debates because of their exclusion of third party candidates.

The YWCA is the first sponsor of the Commission on Presidential Debates to announce that they will cease their sponsorship of the debates. The debates are still being sponsored by Anheuser-Busch Companies, the Howard G. Buffet Foundation, Sheldon S. Cohen, Esq., Crowell & Moring LLP, International Bottled Water Association (IBWA), The Kovler Fund, Philips Electronics North America, and Southwest Airlines.
