The Independent View: The Centrist Project 2016

With increasingly evolving and tumultuous times, Americans keep innovating.
Breakthroughs are happening all around us. So how has our country’s strongest foundational entity become the exception?

Congress is at a crossroads: two parties, zero results. We must break through political gridlock.

Welcome to the Centrist Project, a movement of innovators primed to bring real change to this country. Fueled by a tangible strategy that will swing the vote in order to balance the power in Congress. It will ensure the decisions made in Congress represent real people and enable changes that are right for our nation—not right for a party.

And all it takes is five. Five Independent, Centrist Senators with rational principles like fiscal responsibility and social tolerance. The five who will drive meaningful change that not only benefits, but unites, our country—today and tomorrow.

“We want to empower the middle. 43% of Americans now describe themselves as independent. My vision is to give a home to people who just want to make things better through the political system, who are not hyper-partisan, who want to take back the system from those who have hijacked it. We’re a movement of folks who share this pragmatism and have a problem solving approach. Please join us today.” - Charlie Wheelan, Founder

“America needs leaders guided by the interests of our nation’s founding principles and our citizens – not partisan politics. When the nation was torn apart, did Lincoln play games of chicken with the future of our country until he got his way? No. He worked to heal and ensure a brighter future for the nation. We need Americans to demand that spirit today from Congress.” - Pam Peak, Executive Director

But breaking up the status quo isn't easy. It takes the courageous few to take a stand for a united nation that puts country ahead of party and special interests. Nearly 200 years ago, Lincoln eschewed old political alliances to rebuild this country. That was the genesis of the Republican party, the youngest of our two parties. When Americans see big problems, we innovate. We fix them. It's time to use our innovative spirit to breakthrough politics.

The Presidential election is the most dysfunctional we've had in our lifetimes. It should not be a surprise that the majority of voters are fed up by partisan extremists and a system that has pulled the parties so far left and right they agree on nothing. Our nation’s vast challenges are left unsolved. That’s not right. You know that.

We need leaders not beholden to the broken parties who, like you, believe fiscal responsibility, economic opportunity, social tolerance and environmental stewardship should come first.

Together, let's fix the equation and move America Forward.
