How do you plan on practicing Maverick voting?
Will your vote challenge the status quo; defend the dignity of all people; and support causes greater than one’s self?
Almost two years ago, we made the call for Mavericks – people who challenge the status quo; people who defend the dignity of all; and people who work in service of a cause greater than oneself. Thousands, maybe millions, have answered the call.
As the 2020 Election approaches, we need mavericks more than ever before. Like the original maverick, Senator John McCain, we ask you to use your vote to challenge the status quo, defend the dignity of all people and support causes greater than one’s self.
Watch the video and let us know how you plan on Maverick Voting. Post your responses and videos here and/or on Twitter and Facebook pages and take the pledge if you haven’t already at https://www.mavericksneeded.org/.
I'm going to "Maverick" vote by voting straight Libertarian Party ticket.

I believe Confederate monuments should be removed since they must feel like a slap in the face to all those who had ancestors who were slaves. The Confederacy's fight to keep slavery WAS NOT, in any way, a just cause. I have often asked myself why the South wishes to remember an unjust cause in which it participated, and I have never been able to answer that question. I know the Civil War is a part of history. I am not for removing the war from historical museums or history books--or rewriting history. However, I am NOT for celebrating the leaders who led men, many who died, many who killed fellow-Americans, to fight for slavery.
