Most Americans are dissatisfied with the direction of our country and the years of corrupted two-party government dysfunction. Our country’s governance is ruled by career politicians who are steadfastly devoted to advancing and preserving their political party’s power. They have a strict allegiance to tribal politics and a blind commitment to ensuring the opposing party’s defeat. 

Grounded on the core value of winning and fixed to the influence of money, the two major political parties and the political industry are the root cause of America’s divisive society and eroding democracy. Our politicians are backed by big donors and corporate interests. Thier loyalties lie with them. They have lost sight of the needs of everyday Delawareans and Americans. This corruption and commitment to party over people exists at all levels.

The challenges of changing our political system are immense. It is a system that is concerned only with itself, political power, and money. It is a system that leaves out people who are everyday working folks, who are not a fan of either party, who are independent minded, and who want a better America for future generations.

If Americans are reluctant to sacrifice self-interests in order to serve their communities to build a better future, then we are collectively culpable for the failure of our Republic to sustain its founding principles of liberty, justice, equality, and citizen representation. Societal apathy to serve and sacrifice has relinquished our governance and America’s promise to career politicians who have pledged their allegiance to party, special interests, and political power.

America was founded on the basic principle that its power resides within the citizens entitled to vote. Reclaiming America’s “government of the people, by the people, for the people” demands that every citizen fulfill their civic duties by informing themselves about government functions, serving their communities, and voting for qualified independent minded servant leaders who are devoted to solving problems to improve our society.

The restoration of a strong American Republic requires a paradigm shift from political governance, to a post-political era of governance by citizen servant leaders. In a renewed culture of servitude leadership, citizens selflessly step away from personal lives, sacrificing personal goals and advantage, to serve for the benefit of those they lead. They are able to eradicate the influence of money and special interests from governing because they care more about how they can help others and solving problems, than about any personal gain or recognition they could receive. These independent leaders are stepping forward to place service above self, people above party. They are driven by the needs and concerns of everyday citizens. Their mission is clear: to eradicate corruption and the influence of money from America's governance and to create a system that works for all.

A strong and enduring American Republic requires servant leaders who have pledged to protect and defend America’s Constitutional values of liberty, justice, and equality. These leaders must possess critical thinking and real-world management skills developed over years of career and life experiences, and a commitment to solving difficult problems. They use their skills to improve government efficiencies, productivity, and services to solve problems that benefit the citizens they have pledged to serve.

As Independents we have pledged to lead this urgent call to action to break the stranglehold of the two parties and career politicians on America’s government. Citizens, of all political affiliations, must stand united to proclaim once and for all that enough is enough, and take action right now to restore a strong American Republic that serves the interests of its citizens and returns power back to you.

Every Delawarean has the ability to answer this call to action to restore a strong American Republic, to transform America’s government from a political governance paradigm, to a post-political era of governance by citizen servant leaders that once again serves the needs of its citizens and returns power back to you.
