FFE: Final

FFE_KY_Locals The
ultimate IVA purpose is to give all citizens equal
political speech under federal
election law, Kentucky election law, and local election law. IVA
participants will provide open ballot access and Election Day support for
proactive candidates and issues. The IVA will publish ballot access petitions.
Published petitions, available for download, will be petitions for pro-democracy and proactive candidates,
minor political parties, and pro-reform referendum issues in each state. Each IVA
certified petition
circulator will choose which ballot access petitions to circulate. Successful petition efforts will
give voters more ballot choices to initiate governance from the bottom up. Proactive citizenship,
Participation, will lead to
government of, by, and for
natural persons at the local, state, and national levels.
Jefferson County IVA participants will provide free petition services to give
ballot access to all qualified pro-democracy and proactive
candidates standing for local, state, and national offices in Jefferson
County elections. Circulate petitions to give continuous statewide Kentucky ballot access to
minor parties, including the pro-democracy
IVA political party.
Circulate petitions to put important referendum
issues on Jefferson County (and Louisville) ballots to preserve liberty and justice for all in a more
democratic republic. Make information available to recruit
pro-democracy and proactive candidates for public office. If not you, who? If not now, when?

IVA Priority:
Certify
Petition Circulators.
We
certify Kentucky petition
circulators to correctly obtain valid signatures needed to get ballot access
for pro-democracy and proactive candidates,
all minor parties to include the
pro-democracy IVA
political party, and
initiative/referendum issues. The basic rules to
obtain valid petition signatures are simple and the same for all Kentucky petitions.
EDIT>With
100,000 IVA certified petition circulators
initiative and referendum issues needing "100,000" valid signatures would require only
four valid signatures if just 25% of IVA petition circulators chose to circulate a petition for the issue. Many issues would get to the ballot and voters would have the opportunity to "speak" on each issue.
Also, valid signatures for pro-democracy candidates with "no
party" would require only one or two valid signatures with as few as
5,000 IVA certified petition circulators across the state. For example,
only 5,000 valid signatures are needed to put
pro-democracy candidates for
Governor, Statewide Kentucky offices, U.S. President or U.S. Senator on the
Kentucky ballot.
Signature requirements for ballot access to KY legislative offices are less.
(Top
of Page)
(Your
Voice)
EDIT>Numbers:
Kentucky
pro-democracy Party Ballot Access Numbers: Ten valid signatures from 5,000 petition
circulators (50,000 valid signatures) are more than the number of valid
signatures needed on minor party ballot access petitions in Kentucky. Twenty
times that number of petition circulators, 100,000, would lower the number
of valid signatures needed per petition circulator to only one or two
signatures. Signatures from a spouse and a neighbor can transform our
world. Once we have 100,000 IVA certified motivated petition circulators,
we can easily reform our Kentucky political system. With as few as five
thousand well-motivated petition circulators across the state of Kentucky we can
accomplish ballot access miracles.
EDIT>Continuous
pro-democracy Ballot Access: Twenty
signatures every
two years from 5,000+ KYIVA petition circulators (100,000+
signatures)
from friends, neighbors, and family will certify KYIVA ballot access for all
future elections. Every legislative candidate using KYIVA ballot access will
need just 25 valid signatures, not 1000s, for ballot access. Statewide
candidates will need just 1000, not 5000 valid signatures. With ballot access
assured, pro-democracy candidates can successfully compete with the bipartisan
monopoly.
Each state requires different
numbers.

(Your
Voice) To participate in civic power you can be
IVA certified to circulate petitions in one hour, more or less.
Be a proactive ballot access petition circulator and Election Day participant to have a
voice in our governments.
EDIT>Individual petition circulators choose the candidate, party, and issue petitions he/she wants to circulate. Petitions will be available to download as Adobe Acrobat (*.pdf) files from IVA
web pages or other web pages whenever possible. PDF petition files can be opened and printed
on any printer using the
free Adobe Acrobat Reader.
A
Little Effort. A Lot of Liberty Each
ballot access petition will have an active petition coordinator who will track
valid signature collection efforts. Each
local IVA can have a local goal for the number of valid local signatures needed to insure ballot access. If public soliciting of signatures is needed, which usually yields 80% or less valid signatures, a higher goal will
be set for the total number of signatures needed to meet the valid petition
signature goal. Ballot access depends entirely upon valid petition signature
numbers. Success depends upon participation.

give all citizens equal
political speech under federal election law and under KY election law.
Pro-democracy
Leadership: The KYIVA will support establishment of the
pro-democracy KYIVA
political party with an acting Central Committee composed of one man and one woman from each
Kentucky
county acting as a "political group" in accordance with Kentucky law. IVA web
pages will be established in every county and local electoral area in
Kentucky to provide communications and
ballot access leadership for
every IVA participant. Complete

:Leadership T Success depends upon participation by large numbers of
pro-democracy proactive voters,
who are a super majority, as IVA web page
managers and as IVA certified petition circulators. The average IVA
participant would need to donate
ten to twenty hours of public service
time per year to transform our political system. Liberty and justice
for all in a more democratic republic is the overall IVA goal.
C
Continuous
KY ballot access
for all pro-democracy and proactive candidates will be a required concurrent IVA petition goal.
The KYIVA will work to place candidates for local, State and national
offices (President, Vice President, U.S. Senator, and U.S. Representative to
Congress) from all pro-democracy and proactive parties on all KY ballots. Each IVA
participant, pro-democracy proactive voter will then decide which
Presidential pair, and other candidates, to vote for or endorse, as the
pro-democracy candidate most likely to win each public office.
Each pro-democracy proactive public office holder will help to eliminate the pointless bipartisan
power struggle that now prevents open clean elections at all levels in KY. A Candidates: Pro-democracy and proactive parties using IVA ballot
access will agree to choose one pro-democracy candidate from all possible
candidates to stand for any specific public office, especially on the
state and local levels. Other promising pro-democracy candidates will choose
to run for another office where an IVA pro-democracy candidate is needed to
provide an alternative to the monopoly bipartisan two-party system. All endorsed candidates will be selected to provide the
best-qualified candidate for every public office in every election. In the event the IVA pro-democracy
political party
has actual ballot
access and can field a full set of candidates for public office, and there
is still more than one IVA candidate standing for the office(s),
the IVA
will participate in primary elections as provided by KY law to elect
one candidate from two or more IVA candidates to stand for each public
office in the November general elections.
O
Briefly,
proactive voters can use the KYIVA to create
pro-democracy proactive voter government
with FFE Open Primary Elections for all public offices in KY and Vote by
Mail in KY with
the least effort possible. With ballot access problems solved Proactive Voters
can dedicate more time and effort toward
the election of pro-democracy and proactive candidates who will represent every
person in the proactive
Voter Majority. IVA proactive candidates elected to public office will govern for the common
good of all citizens.

Occupy Open
Clean Elections: The
IVA is proposed to be a pro-democracy proactive voter effort organized
on the computer, tablet and smart phone desktops of IVA participants to
give our people a strong voice in public elections and in our governments.
We will end the corrupt monopoly
power of the bipartisan two-party system.
IVA
headquarters are located on local computer, tablet and smart phone
desktops of every IVA participant on the political
precinct level in all fifty states. Millions of
desktops. We are the 99.999%. Occupy elections. Everybody
Vote! Unite America!
Our
Voices, A New Social Paradigm:
The IVA can be an
Internet opportunity for a new beginning in open pro-democracy elections 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 "pro-democracy proactive voter system" with
a vote in each election for every voter. Each voter will have a vote on
every candidate elected and issue passed. All voters will have a voice in
all elections. Trust will be restored. Unite America. Fix democracy. Up to
you.
Emphasis will no
longer be on ideology, power and control, but on issues
and workable solutions to our real world human problems.
We will have one
nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all in a more democratic
republic. rls
