Notes on 2022 KY03 Petition Status: The 2022 petition was created on February 14, 2022. Rich is campaigning as a Populist Nonpartisan IVA Independent. The Citizens for Stevenson campaign committee decided to petition as a candidate of The Jefferson County Independent Voters Alliance (KYIVA). Rich Stevenson's 2017 voter registration was as a member of the Kentucky Green Party. Rich re-registered as a member of the Independent Voters Alliance (KYIVA) in December 2017 as required by KY election law to run as an IVA candidate. Having a candidate on the ballot for Congress will establish the Jefferson County IVA as a Kentucky Political Group under Kentucky Law. This is an opportunity to establish a Populist Voter Revolution movement in Louisville, Ky, Rich's home town, to be a KY center for the populist movement away from establishment two-party politics and toward a nonpartisan populist political system. Rich has been building the Internet based IVA structure and other free nonpartisan political tools for about 20 years. Rich's petition was created early in the 2022 election cycle to assure getting on the ballot for 2022. Rich failed to get enough signatures to get on the ballot in 2018. Rich decided to not run as a Green Party candidate in 2016 and 2018 in order to establish the KYIVA  as a "political group" under KY law to empower all populist voters, centrist, left and right, to better compete with the establishment two-party system by electing populist candidates to public office. Count Update

Note: There are many ideas for making the most of the 2022 election year to elect down ballot candidates to further the Populist Voter Revolution proposed by Bernie Sanders in 2016. Since Bernie was not elected President the job is ours to complete. We will use proactive participanets to lit drop flyers in their home precincts and to ask for votes at the polls on Election Day, plus many GetOutTheVote (GOTV) ideas. Town Hall Election Day Politics.

Past Elections 2010 and 2012:

Rich was On the Ohio General Election Ballot as the Green Party Candidate in 2010 and 2012 for Congress OH1, Hamilton County/Cincinnati, Ohio Area: Obtained the Green Party endorsement for Congress OH1 both years. Obtained the 25 valid signatures needed both years to be on the Green Primay Election ballot in OH. Won the Primay Elections and was on the General Election ballots in 2010 and 2012 as the Green Party candidate. The OH filing fee to be on the ballot for Congress was just $85.00, way below the $500 KY filling fee for Congress. The OH valid signature requirement for independents was 6X the KY requirement of 400 valid signatures. Every state has widely diffferent election laws.

KY Election Law Notes: The KY Green Party is not ballot qualified under KY law. The Libertarian Party is a ballot qualified "political organization" under KY law due to winning 2.05% of the Presidential vote in 2016. The Green candidate got less than 1% of the Presidential vote in 2016 and remains a "political group" under ky law.  "Political Group" candidates have no advantages over independent candidates under KY law. No political parties other than the D and R parties are allowed legal equality under KY law. The KYGP can not hold primaries or endorse candidates from a convention. The Libertarian Party CAN ENDORSE CANDIDATES FROM A CONVENTION in 2018 and 2020.  Rich re-registered as an "Independent Voters Alliance (IVA)" registered voter before the December 31, 2017 deadline. Any District 03 registered voter will be able to vote for any District 03 Congressional candidate on the 2018 General Election Ballot. ALL VOTERS ARE ELIGIBLE TO VOTE FOR RICH IF HE GETS ON THE GENERAL ELECTION BALLOT. PLEASE HELP. Count Update

Biopoly/monopoly Politics: The KY candidates for the monopoly parties, Democratic and Republican, need to get only two (2) valid signatures to be on the Primary Election ballot for any office. The winner of D and R Primary Elections automatically go onto the General Election ballot without any further effort. Very, very easy. 70% of eligible voters are blocked from voting in the D and R primary elections. The KY elections process is very undemocratic. 70% of voters have had no voice in selecting the D and R candidates who are put on the General Election ballot in November of every year, for the past hundred years. Very undemocratic. UnAmerican!

Valid Signature Goals: A "political group" Congressional candidate, like Rich, or independents, need to get many more valid signatures to qualify to be on the General Election ballot. That is 10,000% more signatures than required of D and R candidates. Require 398, more than the 2 valid required of D's and R's. Any other other candidate needs 400, 200 times more signatures. That is not equal protection under the law for "political groups" or independents. You and me.

80% Valid: Not every signature we get will be a valid signature. If 80% are valid, a very high number of valid signatures, we will need to turn in 500 total signatures, which is equal to 7 full sheets and 45 signatures on a partial sheet.

Our Goal is 50% Valid: A reasonable percentage of valid signatures for pubic signature collection, we will need to turn in 800 total signatures, which is equal to 12 full petition sheets and 20 signatures on a partial sheet. Five more full sheets than needed if the signatures were 80% valid. Done right, 80% or more is possible.

65% Valid: 65% valid signatures. We will need to turn in 616 total signatures, which is equal to 9 full petition sheets and 31 signatures on a partial sheet.

We will have one hundred petition sheets on hand to distribute to our petition circulator team. Each sheet has 65 signature lines, so we have enough sheets to contain 6,500 signatures. There is no maximum number of signatures that can be collected and filed for ballot access. We can make many mistakes. But we still need to "git 'er done."

We could spoil, lose, or otherwise not use up to 88 petition sheets if will get twelve full petition sheets or partial petition sheets totalling 800 petition signatures of registered District 03 Voters. 80 petition circulators could get 10 signatures each from well known family and friends to get the 800 total. I plan to personally get more than two full sheets, 130 signatures.  I will try to get 80% on my sheets.

YOUR EFFORT: Ten signatures from close friends, neighbors, and family you know to be registered Jefferson County voters is a terrific contribution. Those signatures would have a very high validity rate of 80% or more. A little effort means a lot for ballot access. Please make some effort.

I Pledge to be Self Term-Limited to Two Terms in Office: Four Years

RICH STEVENSON, dist03ky@cs2pr.us

-----------------------------------------------

To preserve fragile freedom and our democratic republic we must not re-elect bipartisan career incumbents to public office, as often as possible, and replace them with as many newly elected private citizens as possible.

 

Elect nonpartisan independent candidates on your ballot. We all win if you apply term limits in the voting booth to all Incumbent public office holders. Establishment politicians do harm to our dreams of freedom and a democratic republic. As the years pass, incumbent politicians serve only their political party and other special interests that support their personal political ambitions.

Elect "Rich." You win. We all win. Rich is on your ballot for KY District Three Representative to the U.S. Congress on November 07, 2022. You must be proactive in this election campaign to have your voice heard in the U.S. Congress.
