Independents Make Their Voices Heard in Ohio
 
On September 20, independents from Ohio and Kentucky made presentations to the President's Commission on Election Administration at their final public hearing in Cincinnati. Independent Ohio leader Rick Robol reported that when Commission Co-Chairman Ginsberg asked our team to condense their presentations because they had "previously heard from the independents," we made it clear we would be heard!  Robol, Mark Ritter (Independent Kentucky), Sadie Stewart, Jonathan Lippincott and Mary Rook each shared their unique perspectives on the barriers to participation faced by independent voters. You can view their full testimony here and read Robol's report on the day here (begins at 2:32 on the video marked 1:15).  Several days before the hearing, the Canton Repository published Independent Ohio leader Cynthia Carpathios' letter to the editor Obama Commission Should Study Barriers to Independent Voting.

Adolfo Carrion and Dr. Lenora Fulani
Fulani challenges Democrat's "ownership"  
of progressivism

I am a supporter of Adolfo Carrion, the Independence Party's mayoral candidate.  He is neither a Democrat nor a Republican, he's something else altogether and that is a good thing.  Unless we can create a new way of doing things politically, we will not be able to touch the problems that New Yorkers face, let alone solve them.

Lenora Fulani

Dr. Lenora Fulani, independent political pioneer and co-founder of IndependentVoting.org, wrote a powerful editorial for the Blackstar News last week that challenges how the NYC Democratic Party conflates their control with progressive change. It is a geat expos� and we hope you will read it, tweet it, and share it among your friends and family. In addition, Fulani issued a statement drawing a distinction between Democratic Party mayoral nominee Bill DeBlasio's progressivism and his Democratic Party affiliation.
