I ran the Perot campaign in region 5, (7 counties in West Central Fl), and have been an independent ever since. The threats against Perot and his family were relentless, and scared him into quitting the 1st time. We had just completed a poll in Florida that morning...after only 4 months, he polled at 19%..we had over 5,000 volunteers in our 7 counties...people were EXCITED...registering to vote for the 1st time. Working on a political campaign for the 1st time. But most importantly, re-registering from Dem and GOP to INDEPENDENT!!!!! Dems may lose some of their party loyals...thus the push to lower voting age and open borders to potential voters.  THAT IS TRUE DESPERATION.
