Two years ago we founded North Carolina Independents in order to give our state’s 1.5 million (and quickly growing!) ‘unaffiliated’ voters a voice. Today we have a modest network across the state–students, entrepreneurs, retirees, social workers, veterans, artists, teachers, bloggers, the unemployed, under-employed, and uninsured, computer techies, dreamers one and all–many of whom will be making the trip up to New York City in several weeks to meet, mingle, and make history with hundreds of fellow Americans.
Together, we independents from across the country will be putting on a collective display, a snapshot in the extended process of creating a new political culture in the United States–one not driven by party or ideology, but a desire to create something qualitatively other than the rancor and rank partisanship that dominates the political status quo.
