Well sort of..

While I started thinking about the United Independents in 2002, I did absolutely nothing about it. Daniel Rosen is doing it, right now, in Nevada. I caught word of this in the November issue of Wired Magazine. I could not find the article online so the link is just to the Wired homepage. In the hard copy, the article reads in part,

…But did the founding fathers really mean for America to operate like ancient Greece? Doesn’t representative
democracy mean placing trust in, well, representitatives, who read the fine print for us? “No one in congress ever reads the bills their voting on, ” says Rosen, who trails badly in the polls…” how can you read a bill if you are busy meeting with lobbyists to raise money for your next campaign?

I honestly wish him success. If that good fortune can not happen to him in his bid to win a seat in the US House of Representitives, then I wish him well anyway.
