Q&A With Linda Curtis

(interview me)
Linda Curtis
Director, ChangeAustin.org
Location: Austin, TX United States
Joined: Nov 6th, 2009
About   (request update)
I played a leading role in getting the first woman and first African-American, Lenora Fulani, on the ballot for President in all 50 states as an independent (1988).

I am a leader in the movement for independent politics, starting back in the late 70's. Now, the majority of Americans call themselves independents and do not claim loyalty to any political party. More details as on my resume.
