So, why would I write a book about a third political party? I'm not special. I don't have a PhD. Don't even have a GED. I don't work at a think tank, and sure don't have any insider political knowledge.
However, as a professional entertainer who constantly interacts with people in all walks of life, I'm a fellow who's always willing to talk politics. Ever since the Watergate debacle (1972–1974), I've had continuing conversations with people of all political persuasions about the need for the 40% to 50% of Americans who identify as Independent voters to have a political party which more accurately represents their interests.
A mainstream, middle-of-the-road, moderate third political party. I figured, why not? Somebody had to do it. Can't accomplish anything if you don't try.
