Check out the Independent candidate, Margaret Stock, who is running against Lisa in November. She is former Republican who left the party as it became too extreme, retired military officer whose expertise was national security/immigration, graduate of Harvard Law and Kennedy School of Government and the Army War College. At a meet and greet Monday night she said she would meet with any nominee, advocate for Judiciary Comm. hearings and an up or down floor vote, in short she would do the job she was elected to do rather than what the majority leader demanded of her. She is very real threat to Lisa. If the same independents and Democrats who wrote in Lisa's name this time round vote for a true principled Independent Lisa will not win. Be the change you want to see by changing the make up of the Senate folks. If you're sick of gridlock and campaign finance abuses then vote out Senators like Murkowski in favor of people who truly will and can be independent of the established order.
