The Independent Movement

As a independent activist, I have been writing about our movement since my letter to the editor in the first issue of the The NEO - INDEPENDENT magazine, 2004. I discussed the growing number of blank voters, voters registered to no party. I said:

The job of the independent movement is to attract these feet to the process of structural political reform. The independent movement needs to contain both quantity and quality feet to be heard. First, you need to get local political process issues moving - through adding non-voters and non-participating independents to the cause - to make local changes. Second, you need to get local candidates to include these issues in their platforms and in their bills. Third, you need to put up independent candidates. Last, you have the feet to place an independent in the White House, and enough in Congress to make things happen without the corruption we have now. Slowly, state by state, the independent political issues get heard. Some issues are so important; you need to start at a national level to make the change.

I also took part in this video:


In 2010, the opportunities are even better for the start of this change in our political process.
