I am an independent politically.  I want what Middle America has wanted for the last 30 years: smaller, less costly and less intrusive federal government.

Looking ahead to 2012, I believe the best way to accomplish this is for independents and Tea Party folks to draft as conservative a Democrat as humanly feasible and defeat or cripple President Obama's re-election bid through the Democrat Primary process. 

I believe a former Democratic Congressman, believe it or not from Minnesota, is the man for the job:  Tim Penney.  Penney was a fiscal hawk, a Blue Dog from the southern Minnesota prairie, while in Congress, and he crossed party lines in efforts to limit federal spending.  Penny could run on fiscal sanity and a return to federalism, governance within the spirit and letter of the Constitution.  Penney has been out of office since the mid 1990s and is not tainted with Obamaism.  Penney has shown his frustration with politics as usual by running as an Indepedence Party candidate for Governor.

Better have the Tea Party, the donkeys and the elephants concerned with fiscal sanity than just the Tea Party and sometimes the elephants.  Moreover, if defeating Obama is the main goal, and it must be, then this strategy is savvy, and a lot smarter play than being co-opted by the Republican Party.

I am asking for your help to influence independents,Tea Party folks, and Democrats to oust President Obama in the Democrat primaries.  President Obama is for expanding the size, scope and cost of the federal government in the face of majority public opposition.  He must go.
