The national strategy center for independent political reform CUIP has launched a new website IndependentVoting.org -- check it out -- and fill out the survey on the 2008 Presidential election! Daily news updates from the mainstream media are available on the home page.
The reactionary thrust of the Republican Party and the visionlessness of the Democratic Party have left a political void. That is why 35% of Americans are independents, rather than identifying themselves with one or the other major party. The void is not, as some analysts argue, a space "at the center” for a centrist party. It is rather an opportunity for independents – regardless of ideology – to come together around a vision of radical political reform that effectively challenges the old partisan institutions and old top-down ways of policymaking.Congrats to CUIP, making every day Independence Day!
