No matter, the fact that someone “stopped by”, took the time to read someone else’s thoughts and paused long enough to comment is a good thing. It reminds us of how many differing viewpoints there are and why education is so crucial.

If you haven’t recently, take an extra moment and check out AAUW’s Public Policy “Issues Advocacy” page, http://www.aauw.org/advocacy/issue_advocacy/index.cfm. And don’t forget to cast your vote in November for the candidate of your choice.

Nice post. While we’re not as big as the Democrats and Republicans (as a movement – in numbers, as you pointed out, it’s becoming the case that there are more indies than Dems and Republicans), independent activists have been holding caucuses throughout August and making modest steps in building infrastructure locally. Would love to tell you more about some of what that looks like. Email me and let’s be in touch.

Like many I too have seen the Democrats reaching more then ever, and the Republicans reaching for Independents. The painful truth is when a party is reaching they are also abandoning. In reaching we see the partys literally promising everything to everyone dooming themselves.

With experience and legislation that is wrong, how is McCain a choice? With socialism of Obama the taxes are going to be coming to pay for it all, in the name of “Keeping The Change Promise”.

My concern is our Liberty and Independence being sold down the road, which will literally wreck the United States as our freedoms and rights are dis-connected. The plan of the opposition of our Liberty and Independence was to destroy our U.S. military, destroy the U.S. Constitution, and destroy the U.S. Economy which has literally almost been done.

We have got to rally together and ignore the desperation of Democrats and Republicans stating they would serve us better next… we can serve ourselves. Thank You.

We Can Do This Campaign

AAUW would be a perfect venue for a virtual convention with its long standing get out the vote efforts. There is no better time and no greater need than now that we encourage people to think independently and make their voices heard at the polls.

Carpe diem!
