Become an Independent voter it feels real good.....
Being independent voter you get the best of all politics. If there was a Democrat that had a good policy for the people I can vote for that democrat, If a republican has good policy "a lot do" for the people than I can vote for that republican. If a independent has a good policy I can vote for that independent. Itīs the only way to be a true American. Vote for the right person that has the best interest for the majority of the people.
