America, meet inspiring union organizer and INDEPENDENT Navy veteran, Dan Osborn (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/osbornforsenate\">@OsobornForSenate<\/a>). He\u2019s running for Senate in Nebraska facing off against Senator Deb Fischer, a Republican incumbent in office since 2013. Dan\u2019s got a tough battle ahead of him, but he\u2019s also made some impacts worth noting and could be a sign of positive momentum for independents headed into the summer.<\/p>\n<p>Dan served in the Navy and later joined the Army National Guard. He\u2019s a steamfitter, industrial mechanic, and a badass labor union leader. He led a successful strike at Kellogg&#8217;s Omaha plant in 2021. On December 21, about 1,400 Kellogg workers approved a collective bargaining agreement, ending the strike, which had lasted 77 days. And now he wants to take the lessons he learned and bring them to the rest of the country. It\u2019s a populist message, and he\u2019s not beholden to any specific ideology. He wants to take voters from the left, right and center.<\/p>\n<p>Time will tell if it\u2019s a winning strategy, but one thing is for sure\u2014if you\u2019re interested in independent politics\u2014or American politics in general\u2014this is a can\u2019t miss. If you\u2019re an independent, you\u2019ve found your home. And an inspiring one at that.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And your host Paul Rieckhoff (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PaulRieckhoff\">@PaulRieckhoff<\/a>) rips into all of it in this all new episode of <em>Independent Americans<\/em>. And, he tears into damage left behind in the wake of more college campus protests, a breakdown on why RFK is the wrong choice for independents. It\u2019s another important episode that is a roadmap to 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Because on <em>Independent Americans<\/em>, we\u2019re focused on not just what\u2019s happening now, but also on what\u2019s happening next.<\/p>\n<p>Every episode is the truth beyond the headlines\u2013and light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.
