About IndependentFL

We are here to encourage people to support 3rd party and independent political candidates. We also want to provide support and a voice for voters who do not necessarily support the candidates presented by the Republicans or Democrats. We want to see a movement where 3rd party candidates have a chance to make a difference and for us to see true change in the US. We believe that Florida is set to play a vital role in this process, and we want to provide a network to encourage this change.
