PurplePeopleVote.com started as a way for me to blog about the presidential campaign as an Independent New Hampshirite who became a McCain supporter and volunteer. It was an education for me as I had the opportunity to meet the candidates, see numerous town halls, and even attend a National Convention. Yet the reasons for becoming an Independent more than ten years ago still remain, and am completely content identifying as an Independent.
In short, I’m fascinated by political issues, yet exhausted by the way they are addressed. I will be using Purple People Vote as a forum to post the contents of my book ‘An Independent Call.’ The goal in both writing ‘An Independent Call’ and in now posting it online is to show that there can be some good in politics, along with some humor, and to show that one can whole-heartedly support one candidate without hating another.
There still will be current events posts here. Particularly updates on Iran and how the Internet is aiding the people of Iran in their protests will be discussed, along with some other periodic posts.
Thanks to all who have read and/or commented on my articles over the last few years, hope you enjoy the book as well.
