Dan, I Couldn't Agree With You More
We need an end to having candidates selected for us and not doing the selecting ourselves. Party politics are b.s. and that's why so many people are becoming Independents or not selecting a party at all when they register. The problem with this is that when it's primary time here in NY only those registered in a specific party can vote for those party candidates. This has it's good points and bad. Look what Limbaugh was trying to do to get Hillary the nomination and also look at the REAL Independent who wanted to vote for her in the primary and couldn't because he was a registered Independent. I met one such man today and he's still upset that he couldn't vote for her in the primary.
I look at our flag and I'm filled with pride but it becomes tattered when I think of how it's been used by party bosses for their own personal glorification.
I reslove also to work hard to effect the changes and fight for "liberty and justice for all" ending a system that prevents good candidates from representing and truly doing what's good for their district, city, state and country.
