Independent voices

Yesterday I heard about a movement to bring democracy back to this country. Some of the ideas included an end to gerrymandering, stopping billionaires, millionaires and huge corporations from supporting — and thus buying — candidates, updating and modernizing the election system and a few other things.

As I thought about this an idea hit me. Now is the time for another TV network, for the majority of the voters in this country: the independents. Elections have been rigged for years by money and gerrymandering to the point where an independent cannot even get on the ballot. Both parties are rotten to the core. Now is the time for independents to clean up the system and they need a voice.

I think a network for the vast majority of Americans who want change would be the most watched of all the networks. We need change. We need honesty. But most of all, we need new ideas.
