NYC Independence Party Qualify County Comittees

The New York City Independence Party Organizations just finished the 2012 ballot access drive and it was a smashing success, with 3,258 County Committee members qualified throughout the five boroughs.

People often ask, "Why do you put yourselves through this petition drive every two years? Why endure the heat waves, barking dogs, and six story walkups?"

We do it because independents are the fastest growing segment of voters in New York City (and nationally) and we need a voice. We don't like partisan politics as usual. We want progress and innovation. And having county committees in all five boroughs gives us a seat at the table when it comes to shaping the direction of New York City politics and policy.

So thank you to everyone who signed a petition when we came to your door, who volunteered as a driver, phone caller or petitioner, as well as the 353 people who made donations this spring to fund the drive.

As a petitioner in the 73rd AD, Eastside of Manhattan, I collected enough signatures to put 44 Independence Party members on the Manhattan County Committee.
