Alienated from both political parties

Over the course of the last few years I have largely found myself in no mans land politically.  It’s not a comfortable place to be after all these years. The Republican leadership from the top down has become a negative force in the democratic process and the Democrats are increasingly spineless to withstand the onslaught. Even our President that took office with such high hopes on the part of the electorate seems ready to capitulate at every turn.  

Last week I received the following link with the question:  What do you think?

Put the Labels Aside. Do What’s Best for America.

We are Democrats, Republicans, and Independents who are united in the belief that we do not have to give up our labels, merely put them aside to do what’s best for America.

Personally I’m ready to join.  What do you think?
