TODAY'S NEWS HEADLINES for INDEPENDENT VOTERS

Regular readers of The Hankster might notice that we've been a little sparse over the past couple of weeks. I'm in the field collecting signatures in a massive petitioning drive to create County Committees in all five boroughs of New York - we've reached over 4,000 members so far and signed them up. The Independence Party members I am speaking with are very unhappy about the direction the country is going in and are concerned about the war in Iraq in particular. It's not easy, but together we are changing the political culture in our country. I'll keep you posted and in the meantime, Rock on!
