I am an independent voter, this does not mean I am with the Independent Party quite the contrary, it means I vote for candidates that support the issues I am concerned with and measures I support.

I support the concept of Fusion Voting and would add that we should have a, none of the above on all ballots as all of the candidates might be unacceptable and would force parties to recruit better candidates. I wish also we had a no confidence vote available after a period of time that could remove candidates that have not lived up to their promises and failed to represent the interests of their constitutes.

It is the voters that should be leading the decisions and the candidates that are informing us, keeping us abreast of the issues, debates and be honest brokers representing our interests and the interests of the State and Nation.

Governor please sign SB 326 and fusion voting
