To reserve a spot, fill out and submit the application HERE independentvoting.org's most recent spokesperson training brought together a group of 20 independents from all over the country, with the trainees including educators, community activists, a pastor, students, an animal rights advocate, a retired archaeologist, businesspeople, authors, leaders of political reform initiatives and independent parties, and a producer. Some in attendance believed in the need to build a new kind of political party to empower the American people. While others are independents because they don't want to belong to any party. independentvoting.org President Jacqueline Salit mentioned during the training: "When you see that half the country is saying they don’t identify as a Democrat or Republican, you’re talking about a level of disjuncture between what the public desires and needs and what the governing and political institutions can deliver. That gap is so huge, and I think it’s a scary situation. But it’s also a situation ripe with opportunity for change and growth."
