United We Stand Fest 2015

1960's civil rights activist Amelia Boynton Robinson is confirmed to speak at Free and Equal Elections' United We Stand Festival 2015 in Colorado!  The date and venue will be announced soon.  Amelia’s beautiful history is marked by bravery, honesty, and integrity while confronting repeated trials and tribulations within America’s Civil Rights era.  Amelia has been discriminated against and beaten to near death, but she confidently rose up to be one of the most prominent leaders within the Civil Rights movement.

Amelia fought alongside the great Dr. Martin Luther King and helped organize demonstrations that eventually motivated a nation to rally for change. In 1964, she made history in the political world twice by becoming the first African-American woman to run for a seat in Congress from Alabama and the first woman to be on the Democrat ticket in the state. Against all odds, she garnered 10% of the state vote, alluding to the power and prestige within her message of fairness, honesty, and equality. In 1990, Amelia was awarded the Martin Luther King, Jr. Freedom Medal, an achievement commemorating her lifelong contributions to civil rights.

As a national, multi-generational leader, Amelia has been tremendously supportive of a movement empowering the youth to vote for a better future.  Her rich history of activism and leadership has blazed new pathways to this end, now it is more important than ever to get her message out.  Amelia’s passion and drive for the rights of all human beings to enjoy unbiased representation in the government is unequivocally tethered to the efforts of the Free and Equal Elections Foundation.  Amelia is an inspiration for the past, the present, and the future.  Her presence at the 2015 United We Stand Festival will help ignite a movement towards open and honest elections and will highlight the monumental obstacles that can be overcome when passion meets honest leadership.

Amelia’s contribution to the Civil Rights movement has been highlighted in the recent critically acclaimed motion picture: Selma.  The bridge scene in the film shows Lorraine Toussaint as Amelia, braving the brutality of police forces determined to quell a Civil Rights protest.



Watch here, as Amelia recollects the true story of that moment in history, which has since been referred to as Bloody Sunday.

Commission on Presidential Debates Lawsuit

The Free and Equal Elections Foundation announced its full support of Gov. Gary Johnson, the 2012 Libertarian Candidate for President, as he takes on the hefty task of bringing the Commission on Presidential Debates before the courts after the Commission denied him participation in the 2012 Presidential Debates.

The lawsuit is scheduled to be re-filed in Washington, D.C.

Free and Equal commends Gov. Johnson's work with their America Initiative to insist that the Commission allow all qualified candidates to participate in the national Presidential debates, not limit the debates to the two major parties, as is currently the case.  They believe the two-party system does not represent the majority of the American population and are convinced Gov. Gary Johnson’s lawsuit will help ensure a fair election process moving forward.

The Foundation and its many volunteers and supporters believe our nation needs to stop letting the two-party status quo divide us.  With the help of Free and Equal’s Open Debates, the Free and Equal Elections Foundation is working hard to break the mold and create a new future that allows for equal and fair representation to all candidates for all offices.

They are confident their endeavors and the efforts of Gov. Gary Johnson will prevent the Commission, a private organization created by the Republican and Democrat parties and funded by special interest groups, from making it impossible for independent & alternative-party candidates to participate in the Presidential debates.  “Polls are showing the majority of Americans are identifying themselves as ‘Independents’ and that majority needs to be free to hear from all candidates, especially those candidates that truly represent the new majority,” stated Gov. Gary Johnson, “I will continue to fight to ensure that liberty demands a place in all Presidential debates.”

Moderated by Larry King & Thom Hartmann, Free and Equal hosted open presidential debates in 2012 which aired in 1.1 billion households around the world to offer voters a true alternative to the scripted mainstream debates, giving voice to candidates like Gary Johnson, Jill Stein, Rocky Anderson, and Virgil Goode.  Their voices are then able to tackle real issues that Americans care about, allowing voters to choose a candidate based on merit, not party affiliation.

By backing this initiative, Free and Equal feels the Commission will be forced to stop using the debates as a tool to silence the wishes of the majority of Americans.
