Hello fellow Patriots!
The 2010 election is right around the corner, so it’s time to remove the incumbents! I am a volunteer for The Independence Caucus and like you I want changes to happen. The IC’s main goal is to put challengers in office and remove the bought out incumbents…and the challengers must pass a rigorous vetting and interview process. Please read the information below and pitch in to make a difference in your state. Thank You, Mark
It’s the Triumph of Integrity over Money
Join the citizen’s movement to take back government from “Big Money” interest groups. In 2008, our very first endorsed candidate Jason Chaffetz (Utah-3rd) was outspent more than 6-to-1 by the 6-term incumbent and yet he STILL WON! This year we have scaled this success to the national level and have THREE CANDIDATES for the 2010! (Chuck Devore-CA senate, Joe Tegerdine-MS congress and Bernard Skoch-AR congress). All candidates must pass a rigorous 70 question vetting process and an interview with our members to be endorsed. We can defeat the special interest groups that fund the perpetual re-election of Congressional incumbents from both parties who have stopped listening to us!
