Only 12 no votes and a big win for the Independent Movement. The bill will now go to the House and no doubt face strong opposition. We need your help. Contact your state representative and tell them to support SB 53 for semi-open primaries.
CNN was following Chairman Lewis around all day. From the capital to our monthly meeting, CNN filmed Lewis's exciting day. Tomorrow night at 8:00 EST on CNN, they will air clips of Chairman Lewis's journey and show footage of the Q & A from our meeting.
We want to thank everyone for their support and call upon you once again. Please contact your representative and tell them to support SB 53. |

Independent Kentucky was contacted by a CNN producer about a possible interview here in Kentucky. Possibilities include having CNN representatives present at a meeting, join us during events/activities, or interview members of the organization.
This is a great step for the organization and the movement, especially after a recent win. We will keep you posted on the upcoming events. Even if it doesn't happen, with everyone's hard work, we have grabbed the attention of the nation. |
