Independent Voters Alliance State of Ohio (OHIVA) Today's Politics, A Study Hall (A Spectrum of Links) Send me a Voter Who Reads Reading will increase your power over the political world around you. Knowledge is power. Reading opens new worlds to our perceptions. Enjoy. It seems to me that we are at a time in history when the possibilities for progressive populism and upward social mobility need to be strengthened to assure a stable society. The two-party monopoly of the Democrats and the Republicans is not responsive to those needs. A way must be found to provide equal educational opportunity in our K-12 schools and beyond. Political contributions seem to encourage the creation of a privileged corporate class. We seem to be moving toward a hereditary system where prominence in every field is handed down to the next generation by virtue of having family connections. The vast majority of citizens share a rapidly decreasing slice of the economic pie. Ability and not social position must be the basis for success in our society. A voter revolution is needed to reduce movement toward autocratic control of our political institutions and governments by what appears to be our corporate dictatorship. You are not alone in your concern for the survival of our populist traditions. The entrenched two-party political system tends to govern for powerful special interests. Moderate non-partisan independents and minor parties with wide popular support could govern for all citizens in our society. Perhaps we need to move with necessary caution toward a non-partisan independent political system focused on government of, by, and for the people.
