Your Voice: e-ONLINE FORM Your Information is not made public. Fill in all items marked with an asterisk so that your information can be directed to your correct County and Local IVAs. Indicate "New York IVA" in the "Participate" comment box. |
Please read the below descriptions to stimulate your thoughts on IVA involvement, leadership. |
Open Ballot Access: The goal in every state will be to have Local IVA web pages in every county, electoral district, and voting precinct within the state, and to have an adequate number of certified Local IVA petition circulators to effectively accomplish every ballot access goal within the state. All IVA expenses are paid by small in-kind donations, mostly time, by Local IVA participants. No IVA Supporter is asked to donate money to the IVA, ever From Small In-Kind Local Donations — A Lot of Support We reject financial support from any internal or external sponsor. The IVA will maintain freedom from all financial conflicts of interest. The IVA will never have any paid employees. (Your Voice) (Top of Page) (Bottom of Page)
Will you take a few hours to become an IVA Certified Petition Circulator? Can you be a "Gray Brick" to build a democratic republic? Web pages can cover a precinct, a community, a city, a county, or an electoral district for a specific elective office. The states are different in many ways.
|
Fifty State IVAs Leaders: We need a higher level of involvement to establish each of fifty state IVAs. Experience with state election law from outside of the bipartisan two-party monopoly is a strong plus. A thorough understanding of ballot access law is necessary to create IVA web pages in each state in conformity to state law. Each state has many legal requirements differing from all the other states. The ideal IVA leader could be a young attorney who has just passed the state bar who wants to help create a more democratic republic. Also, the ideal IVA leader could be an experienced veteran of the "third party" ballot access wars who thrives on legal detail. Why not have partnerships of the two working together? Participants please. To show your interest in state IVA leadership, complete and submit the above e-ONLINE FORM. Then, forward an essay/application for the job you want to lead in your state. The need for your talents is real. |
Five Ways You May Choose to Lead The short answers for the five questions below are: (A) No, I do not choose to participate at this time; (B) Yes, I will help lead the effort; (C) Yes, I will commit to some effort. On the crucial tasks in which you have a leadership interest, an essay or resume' outlining your abilities and qualifications to accomplish specific tasks is invited. 1. Will you be responsible for development of educational materials that will work for your state to certify effective petition circulators? |
2. Will you create template IVA web pages for your state with the goal of publishing a Local IVA in every political precinct, district and sub-division throughout your state? |
3. Will you market the Local IVA concept to recruit participants to put up web pages and to certify petition circulators? Can you support multi-party coalition efforts? |
4. Will you be responsible for putting an IVA organization in place to conform to state electoral law to maintain state IVA ballot access as a coalition political party? One task will be to develop standards for listing qualified "non-partisan coalition" candidates and petitions on Local IVA web pages. For instance, the names of Democratic and Republican candidates will not ever be listed or mentioned on IVA web pages. |
5. Will you begin an IVA presence in your state, your county or your electoral district by putting up Local IVA web pages? Will you recruit participants to certify petition circulators and to put up additional Local IVA web pages? Help create template web pages that conform to your state law? In other words, will you work on the IVA in your state from the bottom up, like the original Local IVA web pages in Ohio? Any of the above? Learn as you participate. Work with the IVA leadership developed in your State. Join the growing team of Local IVA and State IVA leaders in your State. (Your Voice) (Top of Page) (Bottom of Page)
