Victoria Jackson, former comedia with SNL, is running for a county seat in Tennessee, as an independent Tea Party conservative disappointed with the Republican Party.
This is wonderful to see this, for a conservative Christian like her -- who was weeping for American after Obama's re-election -- to come back and get involved directly in public service instead of depending on party leaders or government.
If all the Singlepayer activists got directly involved instead of relying on party politics, health reform could be set up per state without entangling federal money, jurisdiction or issues.

THOMPSON STATION, Tenn. (AP) Former "Saturday Night Live" cast member Victoria Jackson has filed to run as an independent candidate for a seat on a county commission outside Nashville, Tenn.
Jackson, who calls herself a tea party conservative, moved to Thompson Station in Williamson County last year. She told The Tennessean she filed as an independent because she's "very disappointed with the Republican Party."
As long as Jackson meets the candidate qualifying requirements by the Feb. 20 deadline, her name will appear on the election ballot Aug. 7.
She would run against the Republican nominee, who will be chosen May 6.
The newspaper reports Jackson has made appearances at multiple political events in Middle Tennessee since making her home there.
