The Independent Voter Network is hosting a tweet chat today, at 11am PST (2pm EST) - 12pm PST (3pm EST) and we want your input! We'll be discussing the misrepresentation of independent voters, dissatisfaction with the two-party system, and asking independent candidates and voters for their opinion on the 2012 election. Here's what you need to know about what to expect, how to participate, and why you should join in.
