lani ya.
Fulanl, who on tbe ballot in
all 50 ta in 1988,11 oot on Michl·
gan's ballot year, although sbe
is on the ballot for 40 other Ita .
Any candidate bo an to t
on tbe ballot to meet require-
men t by tbe , includi
fiUng fees and petition signaturea.1n
Michig" n, for example, a presiden­
tial candidate had to oollect 26,SOO
petition Signatures bcfbre July 16, in
order to be on the ballot
And, Fulani ays, to receive
matching funds to run tbeir cam·
palgm, caMidatcs have to collect a
threshold amount of money and sub­
mit legal documentation accordi
to requirmen .
But debates are another matter,
she notes.
"Some debate sponsors maintain
they will only invite 'significant'
candidates, but they decide, on a
subjective basis, what constitutes
significance," Fulani says.
"In the case of the CDP, fitSt it
said you had to have 'A realistic
chance of winning', but how can you
have a realistic chance, if you're not
allowed in the debates?" Fulani b.
That is the heart of her lawsuit
against tbe CPD.
In 1988, when she w on the
ballot in all 50 statra, the League of
Women Voters kept her out of tbe
debates which they sponsored. They
said only major party candida bad
a reasonable ehaftee ftf:-�IIIMIRM�--"_-
Fulani says sbe appealed 10
Ro Perot to "condemn the CPO's
overtly partisan and racially biased
decision, and that he call for the in­
clusion of the three otber national
iooependent presidential caI¥!idates
in the debates. "
Perot stressed the fact that bipar­
tisan government is "a mess", Fulani
reminds the public. "He specifically
addressed the ways in which elected
office has become a stepping stone .
to financial success, rather than a
location from which elected officials
serve the American people. He con­
demned U.S. politics as 'ego-driven'
aoo said that he believed the Ameri­
can people could work together to
make the process responsive."
"I agree," Fulani says, "but it will
take more than just rhetoric about
democratizing the political process."
Borrowing Perot's phrase, Fulani
says 'taking America back' means
doing away with those regulations
which k�ep ordinary people out of
political life .
. "It means," Fulani says, "doh:�
everything possible tomaximize
voter participation by institutional­
izing automatic am same day regis­
tration and extending the' voting
period to make it easier for votetS to
get to the polls. "
Taking America back, Fulani
says, also means eliminating arcane
and discrimnatory barriers which
prevent Independents and imurgents
from running for office.
Fulani also proposes the media be
required to provide equal time for all
candidates who have qualified to ap­
pear on the ballot.
In ber quest to democratize elec­
tions, Fulani quotes Professor Theo­
dore Lowi, a professor of political
science at Cornell University, who
said, "The two-party sy tern has
been kept alive with artificial respi­
ration through state law biased
against third parties aM through ar­
tificial Insemination by federal sub­
sidies am other protections sold to
the public as 'campaign reform.'
The two-party system would 001-
lapse in a moment if all the tubes
were pulled am the IV' were cut"
Fulani says her lawyers hope to
pull one such plug with the suit for
objective requirements for debate
inclusion.
In Michigan, voters have four
choices other than Bush, Cintonaoo
Perot. Howard Phillips i the TIsch
Party candidate for president; Andre
Marrou, the Libertarian candidate;
Helen Halyard, Workers League;
John Haglin, Natural Law Party.
