hamcoOHIVA Goal: Build the bottom-up Internet structure used by the populist nonpartisan Proactive Voter Movement to create open Final Five Primary Elections and RCV (Ranked Choice Voting) General Elections in every state.1 Have vote by mail2 available for all eligible voters in every state.3 Equal Political Speech under the law. We are the 99.999%. Occupy Elections. Everybody Vote! Occupy local legislative and executive offices. Occupy OH Legislative and Executive Offices. Unite America. Occupy the U.S. Congress. Occupy the White House. The
ultimate IVA purpose is to give all citizens equal
political speech under federal
election law, Ohio election law, and local election law. 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 nonpartisan 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. Hamilton County IVA
participants will provide free petition services to give ballot access to all qualified
proactive nonpartisan and minor party populist candidates standing for local, state, and national offices in Hamilton County elections. Circulate petitions to give continuous statewide Ohio ballot access to
minor parties, including the cooperative IVA
proactive nonpartisan
political party. Circulate petitions to put important
referendum issues on Hamilton County (and Cincinnati) ballots to preserve liberty and justice for all in a more
democratic republic. Make information available to recruit
proactive nonpartisan and minor party candidates for public office. If not you, who? If not now, when?

Hamilton County IVA Contacts, Phone, Email: 1st IVA Priority: Certify Petition Circulators. We certify Ohio petition circulators to correctly obtain valid signatures needed to get ballot access for nonpartisan and minor party candidates, all minor parties to include the proactive IVA nonpartisan political party, and initiative/referendum issues. The basic rules to obtain valid petition signatures are simple and the same for all Ohio petitions. 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 nonpartisan 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 nonpartisan candidates for Governor, Statewide Ohio offices, U.S. President or U.S. Senator on the Ohio ballot. Signature requirements for ballot access to OH legislative offices are less. (Top of Page) (Your Voice) Ohio Cooperative 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 Ohio. 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 Ohio political system. With as few as five thousand well-motivated petition circulators across the state of Ohio we can accomplish ballot access miracles. Continuous Cooperative Ballot Access: Twenty signatures every two years from 5,000+ OHIVA petition circulators (100,000+ signatures) from friends, neighbors, and family will certify OHIVA ballot access for all future elections. Every legislative candidate using OHIVA 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, nonpartisan candidates can successfully compete with the bipartisan monopoly. Each state requires different numbers. (Top of Page) (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. 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. (Top of Page) (Your Voice) Active Petitions Page: Initiative issue petitions, such as Ranked Choice Voting (RCV), will be found on this page. Current local issue petitions will be accessed from each Local IVA ballot_access.html web page where the issue is on the ballot. Statewide issue petitions will be on each OHIVA ballot_access.html and all Local IVA ballot_access.html web pages published all over the state. Minor Party: Petitions to form new Ohio political parties can be accessed from the same Local IVA pages all over Ohio. The Green Party, the Independent Voters Alliance (OHIVA), the Libertarian Party, and others may circulate petitions to form minor Ohio political parties for one future election at a time. Initiative/Referendum issues on your Local ballot: cs2pr.us/hamco/Ballot_Access.html#Ballot. Petition Coordinator Contacts: Check progress on petitions you chose to circulate.
