The Year of the Independents




Hammer Museum show

Summary: 4/19/12---With more Americans registering as independents than as Democrats or Republicans, can an outsider make it to the White House in 2012? Joining us to discuss the changing electoral landscape are Rocky Anderson, Kellen Arno, and Buddy Roemer. Former Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson is running for president with the newly formed Justice Party; his citizen-financed campaign rejects special interest and corporate funding. Arno is National Field Director of AmericansElect.org, an online presidential nominating process aimed at providing a competitive, nonpartisan ticket. Former Louisiana governor Roemer is an independent who served four terms as a U.S. congressman and never accepted special interest money. His current presidential campaign limits donations to $100.
