Declaring Independence examines what it would take for an independent presidential candidate to win. Schoen argues that it is easier than ever. He writes that the internet and social networking has improved the ability of independent candidates to get the support that only political parties could provide in the past. Shoen provides some advice on how to make it happen. A great read for any one interested in the independent movement or in presidential politics.

Independent Nation is the political bible for independents and moderates.
