CUIP National Conference of Independents

THE POST-ELECTION INDEPENDENT MOVEMENT:
PRINCIPLES INTACT
PARADIGMS IN TRANSITION
OBAMA IN THE WHITE HOUSE

I hope you will join me at CUIP's upcoming national conference. The conference will be held on January 25th, 2009 in New York City.

Five days after Barack Obama is sworn in as president, we'll be meeting to shape the future of the independent movement. The Democratic Party may have seized the moment to create the opportunity for change. But it's not at all clear that the Democrats, and the Republicans, can deliver the necessary change. That is the job of independents. And that is our challenge. I hope you will be with me in New York on January 25th.

CUIP has arranged for rooms at the Holiday Inn at a special rate. Please call 800-231-0405 or 212-581-8100. Ask for code XCU.

You may find cheaper hotels by going onto one of the travel websites such as: travelzoo.com, orbtiz.com, expedia.com, etc.

Please contact CUIP's national coordinator Nancy Ross at national@cuip.org or 212-609-2800/800-288-3201 to make reservations for the conference, limited housing availability and for more information.

Last night, 12/15/2008, The New York City Organizations of the Independence Party - the third largest party in New York State - dedicated to involving independent voters in recreating our political culture held their Ninth Annual Anti-Corruption Awards.

The Anti-Corruption Awards is the occasion when we honor business, political, and community leaders who participated in the fight against political corruption and partisanship, and work to build our movement.

I was one of the recipients' of the award with 11 other New Yorkers. We also give Richard Winger, the country's leading authority on independent and third-party ballot issues and the founder, publisher and editor of Ballot Access News, www.ballot-access.org, an award.
