		<description><![CDATA["These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph."  The Crisis by Thomas Paine (December 23, 1776)]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Independence Caucus Video Series  &#8212; illustrates how special interest billions have purchased the ears of a majority of incumbents from both parties such that presently we have no voice.  Tragically, the bill for their out-of-control spending and skyrocket debt will be left to enslave our children and grandchildren if we do not take it upon ourselves now to actively exercise our rights and responsibilities as the “government of the people.”</p>

We the People ARE the government, and it&#8217;s time we started acting like it instead of delegating our responsibilities to our irresponsible elected officials and trust that they are going to fix the mess they helped to create.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Read how upstart Jason Chaffetz, who had never run for political office before, defeated a multi-term incumbent endorsed by the sitting U.S. President, and the state's two sitting Senators while being outspend 6 to 1--all without any paid campaign staff.  Discover how you can do the same in your own congressional district.

With very little money, but backed by a a force of 1,000 volunteers, Jason ran his campaign in the black, with integrity, and with a promise to his constituents to uphold the US Constitution, curtail government spending and &#8220;&#8230;represent Utah to Washington, not Washington to Utah.&#8221;</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: small; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: small; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;">During the campaign, the Independence Caucus conducted research which found a direct link between Jason&#8217;s Republican opponent and the big money special interest groups who heavily financed his campaign with out of state dollars. In spite of being outspent 6 to 1, lacking the endorsements his six term incumbent opponent had of the sitting President, and both Senators from his state and all three major newspapers in his district, having no paid campaign staff&#8211;only volunteers, Jason beat the incumbent in an unprecedented landslide victory, capturing 60% of the vote.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;"></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: small; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: small; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;">Jason&#8217;s victory is a victory for all of us all around this nation. Using the very same techniques which got Jason elected into office, the Independence Caucus is showing volunteers in Congressional Districts all across the country how they did it so we can unseat a minimum of 40% of the incumbents who are up for reelection in 2010. Join with us TODAY to take this country back from the big money special interests and hand it to it&#8217;s rightful owners, We The People!</span></div>
