Getting an independent on the ballot is almost impossible. There is more to it than that, though. There have been very good candidates who attempted to run in both parties, only to be driven into the ground by the media and complacent sweep voting constituents. Complacency and apathy will be our downfall.What do we do? Continue to vote, speak out to our representatives telling them this has gone far enough and that they must work toward change as they are representing us, and most of all we must be prepared.I've see first hand the proverbial "sinking ship" hold on far longer than what appeared possible, ignoring the many opportunities that came along which could have stopped the inevitable, only to see it go slowly under. Our current administrations ostrich mentality of sticking their head in the sand and not doing anything is yet another example. Let's extend everything until after the election so it's possibly someone else's problem.The current reps appear to only want money, power, and the freedom to do whatever they want. Not all, but the majority. Until the people make that the minority, we're subject to failure, and if that's not soon we're going to watch from the bow of the titanic as we go under.</blockquote>
