Hi my name is Chuck from Colorado. 52 year old Retired Marine. I vote independent of Party, but really hate my choices as of late. I can identify with the Whig party, and think it has possibilities to have an impact.

I'm also from Colorado, it's nice knowing more people are interested.

Welcome Gunny!

Its one heckuva uphill battle we've drawn up here - seemingly impossible at times, but....the alternative is to...?

You point out one of our mission focuses - gathering up and electing new leadership - new blood. Time for bloodletting. I'm sure a gunny with, I assume, no formal high level training in political systems can clearly see by instinct and "gut" that the two parties controling the system actually stop true leaders from emerging.

That would be in direct conflict with their ends. self-perpetuation at all costs.

With that said, I sure hope you're here to GIVE 'EM HELL Chuck!
