The Nonpartisan Ballot Access Movement Open Ballot Access and Equal Political Speech |
|
|
|
Independent Voters Alliance (USAIVA) United States of America National Purpose |
|
Political Goals: Make government of, by and for natural persons the sovereign duty of every living natural citizen as intended in 1776 in our Declaration of Independence. Derive all rights from the basic legal right of all living natural persons to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Restrict the legal rights of non-living legal entities in order to provide equal political speech under the law for all natural persons. The ultimate IVA purpose is to give all citizens equal political speech under federal election law and under election law in each of the fifty states. IVA participants will provide open ballot access and Election Day support for nonpartisan candidates and issues. The IVA will publish ballot access petitions. Published petitions, available for download, will be petitions for independent and minor party 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. Nonpartisan Leadership:
The USAIVA will support establishment of a
cooperative IVA nonpartisan
independent political party in each of the fifty states in agreement
with state law in each state. IVA cooperative participants will circulate petitions in
all
Local IVA
areas to provide ballot access for all qualified
nonpartisan independent and
minor party candidates for all national, state, and local
elections for public office. IVA web pages will be established in every local
electoral area to provide bottom-up communications and ballot access leadership
for
Local IVAs, State IVAs and the USAIVA.

Each State IVA will seek nonpartisan independent and minor party cooperative candidates who seek reasonable solutions for all political issues. The only requirement for all IVA participants and IVA candidates for public office is support for our democratic republic. Liberty, justice, and a more democratic republic are constant IVA goals. Success depends upon participation by large numbers of nonpartisan independents, 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. Continuous IVA ballot access as a cooperative political party will be obtained in each state when supported by growth in the number of IVA participants. Continuous IVA ballot access will be maintained by petition or as otherwise provided by the provisions of election law in each state. Continuous ballot access for all minor parties will be a required concurrent IVA petition goal in each state. IVA participants will work to place candidates on the ballot for local, State, and national offices (President, Vice President, U.S. Senator, and U.S. Representative to Congress) from all minor parties in all fifty states. Each IVA cooperative participant, individual voter or minor party, will then decide which Presidential pair, and other candidates, to vote for or endorse, as the nonpartisan candidate most likely to win each public office. Each nonpartisan independent and minor party public officeholder will help to eliminate the pointless bipartisan power struggle that now prevents open clean elections at all levels. (Brief Purpose) (Top of Page) A ll IVA cooperative candidates must support basic electoral and political reforms to return control of the political process to the American people.Candidates: Each IVA cooperative candidate, usually one per public office, could be a nonpartisan independent candidate with a well-defined individual platform on issues. If not, an IVA cooperative candidate can choose to run his/her campaign on the well-defined platform of one or more of the minor parties, such as Green, Independence, Libertarian, Natural Law, Reform, or We the People parties — in alphabetical order. Nonpartisan independents and minor parties using IVA ballot access will agree to choose one cooperative candidate from all possible candidates to stand for any specific public office, especially on the state and local levels. Other promising cooperative candidates will choose to run for another office where an IVA cooperative 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 cooperative nonpartisan independent 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 state law to elect one candidate from two or more IVA candidates to stand for each public office in the November general elections. O ne central IVA cooperative guiding principle is to provide opposition and alternatives to the monopoly bipartisan two-party system in order to win local, state and national level public office with nonpartisan candidates who will provide government of, by, and for natural persons.Briefly, the IVA can build a cooperative nonpartisan independent political party structure to maintain open ballot access for all public offices with the least effort possible in each state. With state ballot access problems solved the nonpartisan ballot access movement can dedicate more time and effort toward the election of nonpartisan and minor party candidates who will represent every person in the nonpartisan voter majority. IVA cooperative candidates elected to public office on all levels will govern for the common good of all citizens. (Top of Page) (Your Voice)The nonpartisan ballot access movement can become strong enough to overcome the bipartisan (two-party) left/right stranglehold on our political process. Divided, the nonpartisan voter majority will continue to be factional and marginal. Together, the nonpartisan super majority can move toward a more democratic republic of, by, and for all the people of the United States. Support your Local IVA. (Your Voice) Ballot access petitions will be available on IVA web pages and other web pages for use by nonpartisan independent citizens. Freedom is participation in power. Be an active petition circulator and Election Day participant. Be a proactive citizen in your voting precinct. A Little Effort — A Lot of Liberty Welcome to the nonpartisan ballot access movement. Legislation: Develop and promote model legislation for ballot access and election laws for use in all fifty states. Model legislation must honor the equal protection provisions of the U.S. Constitution in both the letter and the spirit of the law.RICH STEVENSON, Interim Acting Chair, USAIVA, Email
