Kansas, (May 4, 2010) – The Independence Caucus is proud to announce their support for former State Rep. Patricia Lightner for Congress in the Kansas Third District. The Independence Caucus is a nonpartisan member organization that promotes candidates who commit to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States. The Independence Caucus has been successful in races across the country in energizing and organizing tea party and other constitutionally minded activists previously disillusioned by the political process.

Independence Caucus Kansas Director Larry Halloran said, “Patricia Lightner entered this race very early to challenge Dennis Moore and has proven that to be a consistent champion for the principles of limited government, economic freedom, and individual liberty – and an aggressive advocate for constitutional principles in Washington. Electing Patricia Lightner will put an experienced fighter directly into the heat of the battle, right when we need her the most.”

Halloran added, “Residents of the Third District and by proxy their fellow Kansans across the state deserve a Representative they can trust without question to be fiscally responsible with their hard earned tax dollars in strict adherence to the United States Constitution. With basic fundamental principles such as states rights, economic freedom, limited government, and individual liberty under assault every day in Washington, it is essential that we choose leaders that share our Founders principles and values. Consistent, solid, and unwavering, Rep. Lightner is an excellent choice for Congress.”

The Independence Caucus carefully chooses candidates based on an extensive vetting process and membership vote, in which Patricia garnered 63.5% of the district membership vote in a four way race.

About Independence Caucus

The Independence Caucus was started by volunteers who came together while working to elect Jason Chaffetz to Congress in 2008., Fed up with unsustainable spending in Washington, and total disregard for Constitutional limits on government authority, Independence Caucus founders realized that incumbents from both parties have been compromised by the “Big Money” special interest groups who fund their perpetual re-election campaigns, and have embarked on a mission to sniff out and expose the incumbents’ political money trails, and train others across the country exactly how to boot compromised politicians out of office and replace them with ones who will actually represent and listen to their constituents.

The organization has hundreds of researchers and thousands of volunteers across the country working to put America back on track.
