Minnesota’s Independence Party – Independence Party Chair Jim Moore and former Minnesota Congressman Tim Penny join me to talk about the party, its views and the up and coming November election. Minnesota’s Independence Party (IP) was established in 1992 by visionary Minnesotans who believed in a more ethical, accountable, and fiscally responsible government. Its defining issues were eliminating the federal budget deficit and ending the influence of special interest money that overwhelms the voice of average citizens. Just two years later, Dean Barkley’s solid US Senate campaign performance helped us earn major party status, a remarkable achievement for a political party in its infancy. The Independence Party has preserved its major party status in every election since. www.mnip.org or www.teamMN.com
