(CNSNews.com) - Don't count me out, the Libertarian candidate for president is telling Sens. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.).

"In congratulatory letters I am sending, I challenge Senators Obama and McCain to meet me in weekly debates in cities across America with just the candidates and a moderator to keep order," former U.S. Rep. Bob Barr said in a news release on Wednesday.

"Let us argue the issues, after which the American people can make their decision on Election Day. Surely the citizens of the greatest nation on earth deserve no less."

Barr says he and the Libertarian Party offer "a very different alternative to the American people."

He called Obama "the Democrats' most eloquent proponent of liberalism," and he said McCain "well represents a Republican Party that has become an advocate of slightly smaller big government at home and aggressive war-making abroad."

"I, and the Libertarian Party, offer a very different alternative to the American people: limited, constitutional government dedicated to protecting individual liberty."

Barr said he looks forward to a "vigorous" presidential -- "and meeting my fellow candidates to debate the many important issues facing our nation."

By the way, Dr. Paul says Barr is an ally (http://www.newsweek.com/id/139448/page/1)
and would do "a very good job" as president (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5YaqKf-yTg).
Watch for Barr on the Colbert Report Jun 4, and on the Glenn Beck Program Jun 5.
