US Presidential Candidate Arrested & Detained At Hofstra University debate.

I'm a little late on this but, thought I'd go ahead & share.

Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein and vice-presidential candidate Cheri Honkala were arrested Tuesday as they attempted to enter the grounds of the presidential debate site at Hofstra University. Like other third-party candidates, Stein was blocked from participating in the debate by the Commission on Presidential Debates, which is controlled by the Republican and Democratic parties. Stein and Honkala were held for eight hours, handcuffed to chairs. As she was being arrested, Stein condemned what she called "this mock debate, this mockery of democracy." Just hours after being released.

- Also A reminder to tune in Tuesday October 23 8:00 pm CST/9:00 pm EST to watch the 3rd party candidates - Jill Stein (Green), Gary Johnson (Libertarian), Rocky Anderson (Justice), & Virgil Goode (Constitution), Presented  Live on Ora TV, CSPAN, YouTube; Hosted by Free & Equal Elections Foundation
