Notas del editor

  1. During the 2012 election cycle, there will be thirty-three U.S. senate seats being contested, including 23 Democrats, 2 Independents and 10 Republicans.   Democrats Republicans Independents* CA – Feinstein AZ – Kyl CT - Lieberman DE – Carper IN – Lugar VT - Sanders FL- Nelson (Bill) ME - Snowe HI – Akaka MA - Brown MD – Cardin MS - Wicker MI – Stabenow NV - Ensign MN – Klobuchar TN - Corker MO – McCaskill TX - Hutchison MT – Tester UT - Hatch NE – Nelson WY - Barrasso NJ – Menendez NM – Bingaman NY – Gillibrand ND – Conrad OH – Brown PA – Casey RI – Whitehouse VA – Webb WA – Cantwell WV – Manchin WI - Kohl    
  2. 18 States have open primaries – where Democrats can vote across party lines for Republicans and vice-versa. Independent and Unaffiliated voters can also vote for anyone on the ballot – California just a passed a proposition to open up their primary this past November 19 States and DC have closed primaries – where Democrats must vote for Democrats and vice-versa. Independents and Unaffiliated voters are shut out of the process completely 4 States – Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio, and Rhode Island – allow independents or unaffiliated voters to participate in the primaries – but Democrats must vote for Democrats and vice-versa 4 States – Kansas, Montana, Utah, and West Virginia – have open Democratic Primaries, where Independents or Unaffiliated voters can participate on the democratic side, but are shut out on the Republican side 3 states – Alaska, Illinois and Iowa have same-day registration
  3. There are thousands of issue advocacy groups and think tanks in Washington… But no Citizen-driven movement, across the country, building a voice against the extremes on both sides of the aisle… We are Republicans, Democrats and Independents, who care deeply about issues and fostering bi-partisanship in the halls of Congress… We want our politics to evolve and for Americans to put country over party… We are No Labels.
