Declarations of Independence

According to its online profile, Free and Equal is "a non-partisan election reform and activist organization dedicated to improving ballot access laws in the United States." The organization is heavily involved in facilitating the next round of tea party protests on July 4th via the Re-Tea Party organizational network. This work is intended to help the organization meet its ambitious, and worthy goal of "making sure every federal race in 2010 is contested by an independent minded candidate, whatever their party affiliation," as Sean Haugh put it in a post explaining what the tea parties have to do with ballot access reform. To that end they are seeking worthy candidates from across the political spectrum to upset the duopoly's upcoming political pageants. Ever thought of running for office yourself?
