April 25, 2004. Billy Wimsatt (top) and Bouapha Toommaly hand out materials promoting the League of Independent Voters (www.indyvoter.org). The League, a new national 501(c)4 membership organization, is a project of Tides Tsunami Fund "formed to build a massive long-term national progressive constituency." According to the Indyvoter.org website it will use "a never-before-tried online/offline strategy to create community leverage around the act of voting so that we're not just voting as disconnected individuals." Wimsatt, Toommaly and other leaders of the group have written a book, How to Get Stupid White Men Out of Office. | |||
