About
More than a third of all Texas voters opted out of the two-party
system in the 2006 gubernatorial election. The mission of this website
is to help shape and promote the movement these independent-minded
voters started, helping to transform it into a viable new direction
for Texas politics.
Our two main goals at the moment are becoming organized and becoming
better informed about the going-ons in our state legislature. Both of
these goals require your help. While there are a number of websites
and publications that cover Texas politics, most if not all do so from
a partisan standpoint. It’s our hope that by taking a new approach to
political journalism, we can foster a new approach to Texas politics.
With that in mind, we’re looking for your help in making this site as
effective as possible. To find out how you can contribute to the site,
go here. To register your support for independent voices in our
political system, and to stay informed as to our next step in ensuring
an equal playing field for independent politicians, go here.
We don’t think the huge number of Texans who voted themselves away
from the two major parties this year represent the only people who’d
like to change politics in Texas. Nor are we only looking for people
who tend left, right, or moderate. The core belief of this project is
that every Texan is an independent at heart, and that together we can
win back our state.
