RICH STEVENSON OPEN CLEAN ELECTIONS ~ YOUR VOICEUS Congress, OH1: Rich was on the ballot as a Green on November 02, 2010. Rich was on the ballot in 2000 as the Natural Law Party Candidate for OH1 Congress; Who is Rich? Click the picture to read 3 biography pages to help answer that question; Rich asks for your vote in November 2012 to support clean government. All contributions to Citizens for Stevenson are welcome. Rich failed to get enough petition signatures as a non-partisan independent candidate in 2002-2008. The result was no independent or minor party candidate on the ballot for OH ONE in 2002, 2004 (Write-in), 2006, or 2008 (Write-in). The voters of OH ONE had no candidate on the ballot to represent all District One voters. We can not allow that to happen in 2012. I will be on the General Election ballot again in November 2012 for US Congress in OH1. I will be the Green Party Candidate again. Vote for Rich on November 06, 2012. You win. |

------------------------------------------------------------------------ (Acting Chairperson, Hamilton County IVA) (Local IVA Web Page Manager) (Ohio IVA Certified Petition Circulator) (Election Day Participant) (Active Citizen) (Radical Moderate Political Writer) (Creator of the template IVA Ballot Access Tools) (Creator of a template Model Political Campaign, web pages and materials, for free use by all non-partisan independent and minor party candidates) (Creator of the template T.H.R.O. Congressional Campaign materials) (Non-Partisan Independent candidate for Public Office) (If not us, who? If not now, when?) (Lifelong Political Independent, with ties to minor parties since 1995) (Current GP member serving on the Hamilton County Ohio Green Party Central Committee) I get on the ballot as a non-partisan independent to give us new leadership not controlled by any political party. I stand for office to give voters a voice in government through a citizen legislator who represents only his fellow citizens. I do not seek a career in Washington DC. I will be self term-limited to two terms, four years in office, if District One voters choose to elect me. I am quite simply an "active citizen." We live in a diverse culture. My issues are related to my own background. I am a part native-American citizen who relies on the bill of rights to secure my spiritual freedom from the religious beliefs of others. I am a college graduate who worked as a drafter on an hourly wage contract basis for twenty-two years. In the early 1950s, my wages would have been taxed 2% by the IRS. Corporate income taxes were in the 40% range. Individual income taxes were 91% on income above $5 million. But since the 1950s, Corporate income taxes have been lowered about 20%, with the highest individual income tax lowered to 38% on any unlimited amount of personal income. These huge transfers of national wealth to a few Corporations and individuals have devastated millions of lower and middle class wage earners, as well as independent small business owners. For the first time in our history, the expectations of the next generation are lower than the expectations of the previous generation. The American dream is fading for our teeming masses. The tax burden has gradually shifted to wage earners and family businesses, with the result that real wages for a majority of Americans have steadily declined over the past 40 years. During the same period, the real earnings ("wages") of the wealthiest 10% have more than doubled. The wealthy have already won the "class war." Basking in their smug victory, the wealthy accuse those who advocate the re-distribution of wealth through progressive tax policy to be guilty of "class warfare." This is propaganda by the super wealthy "class" to favor the wealthy. The wealthy own the media. The super wealthy own our elected public servants. The Internet and the Public Broadcasting Service are still somewhat free, for now. For now, we have a place to speak the truth. The out of balance tax laws favoring the wealthy came about because the political process is owned by political contributors, mainly multi-national and other foreign corporations. The two bipartisan "major" political parties are on the take. Perhaps we should recognize that as corruption, plain and simple. We no longer have the representative democratic republic envisioned by our founders. Our participation in politics as non-partisan independents can regain that vision of freedom and a democratic republic for our people. The IVA is an Internet means to overcome the entrenched power of the bipartisan monopoly two-party system (dictatorship).My son and grandchildren deserve a better world. Rich Stevenson (Top of Page) (Your Voice) Independent "Non-Party" Politics: I see the IVA more as a "non-party" political coalition organized on the computer desktops of IVA participants to give the American people control of their political life, with the bipartisan monopoly power of two national political parties eliminated as an unnecessary evil. The only IVA headquarters are located on the local computer desktops of IVA participants on the political precinct level in all fifty states. Your computer desktop. I see the IVA as an Internet opportunity for a new beginning in political organization for our republic and for other people throughout the world. For our nation, an emphatic move away from a corruptible "bipartisan two-party political system" toward a "non-partisan independent political system" with many more moderate candidate choices to give voters a reason to vote. Emphasis will no longer be on ideology, power and control, but on issues and workable solutions to our republic's problems. The IVA emphasis will be on liberty and justice for all in a more democratic republic. Ballot access petitions will be available on IVA web pages and other web pages for use by non-partisan independent citizens. Freedom is participation in power. Be an active petition circulator and Election Day participant. Be an Active Citizen in your voting precinct. A Little Effort — A Lot of Liberty Welcome to the non-partisan political movement.
