The way the parties have weaponized the political process today, they make it impossible to have a 'D' or an 'R' next to your name and speak to the other side.
The pledge is simply this: that you remain independent and not be part of the Democrat or Republican system.
We’re trying to get a person who can be committed to — and totally committed to – being an independent with an independent voice.
My observation, and recommendation from observation, would be, John, trust me, set yourself free and become an independent.
