Opinion Column Archives Over a period of several years I had chances to write articles about the IVA populist nonpartisan proactive voter movement for national and state civic organizations. I did not bother until Fall 2003. I first started to write articles for a local political web site in Cincinnati, OH. The web site was Queen City Forum (QCF), www.queencityforum.com. After talking to one of the founders, Michael Altman, on the phone for a long time and his reading my pamphlet, Common Sense II, The Proactive Voter Movement, Michael asked me to write a monthly column on the IVA party for the QCF web site. I was happy to oblige. I was asked to write one or two columns per month within a few months after my first article was published online. I wrote two articles only in the month of July 2004, the last month before the breakup between the QCF founders. I continued to write after that. I still write on subjects that need comment from a nonpartisan perspective. Meet the IVA
My thanks were owed to Michael
Altman, and
to Steve Fritsch,
the Publisher. They co-founded the QCF, but had an ideological falling out after
a little over a year after founding the QCF. Ideology ruined their QCF friendship at last
word. Steve is conservative and Michael is on the liberal side. Hey guys, 70% of
the people are
populists,
including centrist, left and right populists. The last time I looked the IVA articles were no longer on
the two web sites that took the place of the original QCF. The new QCF, www.queencityforum.com,
no longer active,
published by Michael Altman, no longer featured an article from the four political parties. The other
web site, www.bluechipreview.com,
the Blue Chip Review (BCR), was published by the more conservative Steve Fritsch.
The BCR site is active only to market
finanical advice on penny stocks, totally unrelated to political opinion. I miss the nonpartisan
viewpoint that
was the basis of the original QCF.
Ideological polarity caused the breakup
between friends, in a manner similar to the constant bipartisan fights in the
U.S. Congress. The initial QCF intent was to open a free discussion of all political points of
view in one place.
In the end, bipartisan polarity scored a minor victory against tolerance and free
speech in Cincinnati, OH.
The
articles listed below are “current event” articles published when and where
indicated. The IVA articles are no longer archived on the QCF web pages. The links shown as dates are
the dates when the articles were originally published or written. QCF was published on the 1st and the 15th of each month.
The articles listed below are shown from the newest to the oldest dates as
originally published. Many show edit update dates at the bottom of the article:

(Top
of Page) The
articles were written on “current events” from a populist nonpartisan political perspective.
They are unlike any articles you have heard, read, or seen in the bipartisan
for-profit corporate media.
The truth about our undemocratic two-party political system is usually hidden from view
in commercial media.
A few lies of omission are exposed in the IVA articles.
These
articles are just the opinions of one person. There are millions of people like you yearning for changes in our
democratic republic. Spread the word of the populist nonpartisan
proactive voter
movement. We still have "a republic, if
you can keep it," Ben Franklin.
I have many articles left to write or
that needed writing over the last few decades. Your participation is needed to
keep our democratic republic open and free for all of our people. Rich
Stevenson
