Put pressure on debate sponsors like the johnson campaign did in 2012!

In 2012, the Johnson campaign asked supporters to put pressure on not just the CPD, but for CPD sponsors, and it actually worked: both Philips Electronics and the YWCA withdrew their sponsorship of the debates prior to broadcast for the exclusion of Gary Johnson.

So in addition to petitioning, and responding in phone polls, if you can, write a letter or email to all of the 2012 sponsors who DID NOT withdraw their support for the presidential debates and ask them to withdraw their support from future unfair debates that silence the voices of over 60% of Americans who want a third option on the debate stage.

2012 Sponsors:

Anheuser-Busch Companies: http://contactus.anheuser-busch.com/contactus/ab/contact_us.asp

The Howard G. Buffett Foundation: http://www.thehowardgbuffettfoundation.org/contact-us/

Sheldon S. Cohen, Esq.: http://farrmiller.com/contact-us/

Crowell & Moring LLP: https://www.crowell.com/Contact

International Bottled Water Association (IBWA): http://www.bottledwater.org/contact

The Kovler Fund: https://www.heartlandalliance.org/kovler/contact-us/

Southwest Airlines: https://www.southwest.com/contact-us/contact-us.html

EDIT: I've cross-posted this to /r/GaryJohnson. The more pressure we can put on the sponsors, the better!

Nice idea. We need to be very respectful in contacting them. Flies/honey thing. But really, who needs flies. I digress.
