Support for Non-Partisan Politics

 

The web page tools and concepts, under continuous development and currently functional, are free to non-partisan independents. Please support the transition to clean non-partisan politics. Participate:

Free Tools for a More Democratic Republic

Free Political Tools Software Mini-CD

 

Bottom Up Politics: Our computer desktops are the only IVA headquarters, with local Independent Voters Alliance (IVA) web pages managed and chaired by local  participants in every voting precinct in every state. Our national goal will be over 500,000 Local IVAs controlled from the bottom-up in a more democratic republic! Each Local IVA Web Page Manager is the Leader of the Open Clean Elections Movement for Ballot Access. We are at home, from the bottom-up, in the only headquarters for our political movement. We are home based. Your home. My home. We lead from the bottom up. (Unique) (Flank) (PayPal)

Free Political Tools: The overall CS II goal is replacement of the "bipartisan two-party political system" with  a "non-partisan independent political coalition" that governs in the interests of human constituents, people. I am the creator of the non-partisan Free Tools CSII software. I am the lone writer and designer. I am one of many concerned citizens working to increase awareness of the electoral and political reforms needed to preserve our constitutional democratic republic. I work in cooperation with other proactive citizens building the open clean elections movement. Our common goal is to increase majority non-partisan participation in our democratic republic for the 21st century.

Why Support CSII? So why in the world would you send a few dollars in support? CSII is creating a unique concept for change. Most political activists are trying to establish political power on the national level by building state political parties to establish a top-down national political party. Minor parties have tried for decades over the centuries to build a "third" party to compete with the national two-party monopoly system. (Unique)

In fact, the primary focus of most minor parties seems to be replacement of one of the two "major" parties with their own national power structure. Most political activists appear to not think beyond the "two-party system," the failed corruptible two-century old power structure we have. Not outside the pointless "left-right" bipartisan struggle! Not outside the box!

Most minor parties have some minority political or social agenda they intend to impose on our society when their party becomes part of the top-down political power structure. The only CSII agenda is liberty and justice for all in a more democratic republic. Government can be directed by common sense grassroots participation. All "politics is local," and can be controlled by the vote of each individual citizen. Each of us! Outside the box!

Simple Method: Take legislative and executive majorities away from the corrupt bipartisan two-party monopoly by electing non-partisan independents to public office.

You and I can have the government we want. Our children can have the democratic republic they need to pursue happiness. I am just one of many concerned citizens who are trying to increase awareness of needed electoral and political reforms. We can have a more democratic republic.

I have great faith in the goodness and fairness of the American people. The CSII approach is to empower the individual non-partisan independent voter. You.

I can use your dollar in my efforts to free time to meet eyeball to eyeball with civic and minor party political leaders locally and nationally. I will encourage all national and local leaders in the open clean elections movement to consider coalition political strategies other than party building or support of corrupt bipartisan two-party candidates.

The Vulnerable Flank: The two-party monopoly wins elections by fundraising and manipulation of state law. Political party building is subject to monopoly rules. Change will come not by creating political parties, but by the activation of politically inactive multitudes of non-voters, who can elect non-partisan independent leaders, one public office at a time. We will seek victory in our strength, our numbers.

Ballot access for non-partisan independent voters is the solution. Non-partisan independent candidates can partially define themselves with minor party issues and platforms. My concept of statesmanship is based upon the pragmatic example of Benjamin Franklin. Fix what is broken. Do no harm.

Non-partisan independents have the numbers, 80%, to elect whomever they choose to every public office. Seek solutions to benefit the common good. We need to make things happen from the local level by electing non-career officeholders to every possible public office. Non-partisan independent office holders will work for liberty and justice for all in a more democratic republic. Have clean elections. Get clean politics.

We can exclude non-living entities from equal protection under our constitutional law. We can make government of, by, and for the people a reality in our republic in this new century. We will disable the incumbent bipartisan monopoly that supports the tyranny of special interest corporate governance. Clean elections! Clean politics!

Your Support: Donate a few dollars. Promote clean politics.

Pay Pal takes 5% plus 5¢ of each small Micropay Donation. The net amount received for donations is 90¢ for $1, $4.70 for $5.00, $9.45 for $10.00, and $18.95 for $20.00. The suggested donation is $1 to $5. No donation is too small.

 

Dollars for Open Clean Elections: A small amount in donations, around $20,000 per year, would provide all of the expense money needed for me to devote all of my time to political education and reform. I am pursuing possible grants from "non-profits" to support my work. However, any type of political campaign activity eliminates the legal possibility of any "non-profit" tax-free money. Also, most "non-profits" favor the bipartisan "two-party system." Therefore, grants may not be likely for my anti-bipartisan work. I took a social security retirement in January 2004, when I was sixty-two years of age. I now have less need for full-time work to meet my personal expenses. Social Security frees more of my time for my political work. Social security and my part-time work have covered expenses for my personal needs, but do not cover current expenses associated with my political writing on the Internet and activities needed to promote the transition to non-partisan politics. Donations have covered some expenses. My fixed retirement income does not allow for any expansion of my planned non-partisan political activities. Therefore...

My hope is to raise enough money to pay for postage, computer supplies, printing costs, Internet expenses, and gasoline for useful political travel. My dream is to raise enough money to devote full time to political education and to growth of the non-partisan open clean elections movement. I turned 65 years of age in January 2007. My social security benefits ($1,000, less the $500 plus I pay in Rent) would not have been reduced by additional personal income of up to $34,440 in 2007. Under 2007 IRS law I would have had no tax liability on my social security benefit for personal income up to $18,518. I would have owed $880 (4.8%) in US taxes on $18,518. In 2007 up to $10,050 in personal income would have been tax free. (My total 2007 income was $7,238.51. No US income taxes! I am poor, but my needs are few.) I was a busy candidate for US Congress in 2008 to 2010 and could find no time for part-time work. For now, all donations will be reported as personal income (dba CSII). You can use PayPal to make a useful $1 to $3 CSII donation. Small petty cash donations here can accumulate to help non-partisans build the clean political coalition we need to create moderate public policy that benefits us all, and the next seven generations.

I will work with other non-partisan grass roots independent activists and minor parties to reform our political system. Your small donation, if you make one, will work toward a more democratic republic for us all. If donations make my personal income taxable, I will seek means to lower taxes on CSII donations to the lowest level possible. (An LLC incorporation?)

100% of all donations will be used to pay for CSII political activities and expenses. Any excess funds available above CSII expenses could be used to pay invoiced hourly wages to CSII associates to expand CSII marketing and development work at no more than the Federal Minimum Wage ($7.25 per hour); no more than 40 hrs ($290) per week; no more than 50wks ($14,500) per annum. Donations will never be used for personal expenses under any circumstance or for any reason. Realistically, petty cash to pay for daily CSII expenses I can't afford would really be a big help. Each month for years my personal financial worth drops below $30 after my CSII expenses and personal bills are paid. Donations are needed to expand my common sense political efforts.
