Ditch the two-party system

GREENFIELD, MASS.-I am not voting for the two major-party candidates who are running for president this time around because it's a big mess. In addition, there are many reasons I think it's time for third parties, including an Independent Party, to get a chance to hear their voices. It's been too long.

I think it's time for someone younger to run for president as an independent candidate who has a military, law enforcement, and business background and who is experienced with politics and cares about our country.
