My political orientation is independent.  I generally vote on the issues and the character of the candidate.  I look at data and facts, not pre-spun opinions from the myriad sources where they are available.  I can form my own opinions. 

I tend not to fit into one silo.  I’ve voted for Republicans, Democrats, and Independents.  A candidate has to jump through some serious hoops to get my vote.

It is also my opinion that there are parts of our constitutional structure that are in serious need of updating:

• The electoral college system
• Congressional redistricting
• Term limits for elected and appointed officials (including the judiciary)
• The nature and makeup of the U.S. Senate

With all that in mind, you can take my posts with a grain of salt if you want to.  They’re just my opinions.
