Especially in swing states. We are the largest, fastest-growing and most powerful group of voters in America. 50% of vets are independents. 60% of young people. We are free agents\u2014and every candidate will have to earn our votes.<\/p>\n<p>But beyond the race for President, the independent movement is real, diverse and growing fast. Fueled by disgust with the two parties, generational change, #OpenPrimaries and other election reform, and a new generation of truly, authentically independent leaders, the future of American politics is independent.<\/p>\n<p>Independent doesn\u2019t mean the middle. It means none of the above. It\u2019s not a new party. It\u2019s no party. Because America is not a party. It\u2019s a mission.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>#IndependentAmericans are rising up. We may not be ready to win the White House yet. But more and more independent leaders are emerging and winning at every other level of American politics.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And our guest coming up is the best and most powerful recent example.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s a man who is more than a breath of fresh air.
