Thousand Oaks, CA (January 9, 2011) - Congress is broken. Divisive partisan politics have gridlocked Congress. Special interest money influences legislation.

Linda Parks is running for Congress to fix the system and that means she's not going to take money from political parties, she's not going to take money from unions, and she's not going to take money from political action committees (PAC's).

Linda is running for Congress with the support of people instead! Experts say a successful campaign for Congress will exceed one million dollars.

This is an unseemly amount and it is precisely why Linda is running - to show that we can beat big money special interests and not have Congress members who are bought and paid for.

Instead of special interest money, Linda's campaign relies on contributions from individuals.

When asked, "How can a candidate for Congress win unless they are backed by the big money special interests and political parties?" Linda's answer is: "I've been significantly outspent and am living proof money doesn't always buy elections." Linda asks voters to send a message to the nation by electing someone who is not beholden to parties or special interests.

She states: "Make this be our Declaration of Independence from the special interests, the unions, the parties, and the corporate political action committees with their influence over Congress."

Linda will officially launch her campaign January 21, 2012 at Freedom Park, on Eubanks Street in Camarillo.

Please come and join Linda as she Declares Independence from the party politics that are failing our nation and from Corporate Special Interests that Congress puts over the interests of citizens.

Hear her pledge to not take corporate contributions, or party contributions, or union contributions.
