Welcome to the Independent Parties Newsletter, “Un-Silenced!” I have decided to call this newsletter Un-Silenced because I have decided to be silent no longer. I think far too many Americans have been silent and its time to let our voices be heard.

Although this newsletter is based on the Independent Parties movement, I hope to reach a wide span of people no matter which party you belong to. I believe that no matter what party line you follow, this newsletter can offer you many things to really think about. When it comes right down to it, it doesn’t matter what party we belong to or follow…at the end of the day we are all Americans. And hopefully at the end of the day we will be silenced no longer.

Un-Silenced will be released every Wednesday and will feature new articles, forum topics, interesting news and facts, links to interesting sites and anything else that seems worthy of including in the newsletter.

I believe the United States of America is about “We the People.” We the people need to know and understand what is going on in our country, in government and in elections. I also believe that we need to understand the history of our country, what it was built upon and how we can move forward in a way that is best for this land.

I will continue to refine and make the Independent Parties site the best it can be. Articles will range in topics from party platforms to current news and historical information. However, I also don’t plan on just throwing facts and information at you. My head is in politics but along with that, so is my heart and I will oftentimes wear my heart on my sleeve.

I also invite you to participate in the Independent Parties Forum. Hot topics and discussions will be ongoing. I would appreciate not only your input but your ideas on topics to discuss.
