When we picture American politics, we tend to see two sides: red and blue. But don't forget, millions of us are independent, too.

We have far more power than the two-party system makes it seem.
The most powerful voters in the country are independent, who are ahead of the Republicans and Democrats, who are ahead of the non-voters. Don’t let anyone convince you that not voting is clever. It isn’t.

We can and we will bring the power back to the middle.
Matthew McConaughey said it best: Independents don’t just have leverage, they are the leverage. Congress is more divided than ever before, and with razor-thin margins, a few true Independents can bring power back to the middle — where most Americans live their lives. My daughter Heather and I started the Independent Leadership Council because the two major political parties have lost the plot. To them, it’s not about public service anymore — it’s about party loyalty and pushing extreme agendas that aren’t addressing the problems Americans are facing in their everyday lives. I appreciate @McConaughey speaking up for Independent Americans and bringing attention to the opportunity we have to choose a third path this November.

If we're so frustrated with Congress, why do we keep electing the same people? The answer may have less to do with the candidates and more to do with the rules of our elections.

We spend a lot of time debating candidates, but what about the rules that shape our elections? From open primaries to campaign finance reform, there are plenty of ideas on the table. Which election reform would you prioritize first?
