The Independent Gazette

he Independent Gazette is a fearless advocate for government transparency and voter rights. Dedicated to bringing accountability to Pennsylvania’s judicial system, we fight for the right to place cameras in courtrooms, ensuring justice is seen as well as served. We also champion open primaries, pushing for fair elections where all registered voters—regardless of party affiliation—have a voice. Independent, investigative, and unapologetically committed to the people, The Independent Gazette stands for democracy in action.

The Independent Gazett SUMMER 2025

Silenced Democracy
Closed Justice

Article 1, Section 8 of the Pennsylvania Constitution is crystal clear: “Elections shall be free and equal; and no power, civil or military, shall at any time interfere to prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage.”

LOCKED OUT: How PA Silences 1.3 Million Voters

  • Over 1.3 million Pennsylvania voters are locked out every primary election.
  • Independents, unaffiliated, and third-party voters have zero say in who ends up on the ballot.
  • Primaries are where the real decisions are made — before you even get to the general election.
  • Two parties have all the power — everyone else gets silence.
  • This isn’t a flaw in the system — it’s by design.
  • Article 1, Section 5 of the PA Constitution guarantees free & equal elections — this isn’t it.
  • There’s a simple fix — open the primaries to all voters.It’s your vote. It’s your right. It’s your money.​

The Independent Gazette Established 2012

Since its inception in 2012, the Independent Gazette has firmly established itself in the realm of investigative journalism, fearlessly delving into and exposing some of the most egregious acts of injustice, including the notorious "Kids for Cash" scandal. This bold approach laid the groundwork for our enduring commitment to advocating for court transparency, free and equal elections, and comprehensive immigration reform. Alongside highlighting other pressing issues as necessary, our written work continues to be a cornerstone of our mission.

Justice Watch Today

In our latest initiative, we've introduced Justice Watch Today, a non-profit event platform founded this year, to bring these crucial conversations to the forefront of public engagement. Together, these platforms embody our transition from investigative journalism to a focused drive towards transparency, equality, and reform, demonstrating our unwavering dedication to informing, engaging, and inspiring action within our communities and beyond.
