Simple
IVA Idea:
Local
IVA political cooperative participants will reform our political system from the
bottom-up with work done on our computer, tablet and smart phone desktops. Yours and mine.
Millions of desktops. Large numbers
of Local IVA web page managers and IVA certified ballot access Petition
Circulators will take the public office monopoly away from bipartisan career incumbents.
We will end the corrupt 150-year-old D & R two-party incumbent
re-election monopoly.
All
nonpartisan ballot access petitions and information will be available anywhere Local
IVA ballot access web pages are published on the Internet. IVA Certified ballot access petition circulators will
obtain valid petition signatures to put more candidates, parties, and
issues on the ballot in each state. Each State IVA will issue a certificate for each
"IVA Certified Petition Circulator." Local IVA web page managers will receive a well earned
"Local IVA Web Page Manager" certificate when their Local IVA web pages are
published on the Internet and functional in their Local IVA community.
Open ballot access and
election of populist nonpartisan candidates to
public office, achieved by Local IVA participants, will lead to government of, by and for the people. You and me.
We are the 99.999%! We are a super majority who can elect nonpartisan and minor party candidates we
support to every
public office.
Up to you.

Comments
On Web Page Location:
After the
corporate takeover, Yahoo! decided to close GeoCities in late 2009.
The first IVA strategy for publishing Free IVA web pages on GeoCities was gone. No free or
GeoCities Plus accounts
could be opened after the
announcement was made. The culture of a large corporation killed the socially responsible "free web page"
spirit of former Yahoo! owners. The new business model leaves less incentive
to provide for low cost web pages to encourage innovation and creativity. Greed closed
one Internet road to low cost entrepreneurial startups. It seems to me
competition will keep the cost of Yahoo! web page accounts at a moderate level.
If not, we can move to other locations.
Your Own Domain and
Hosting Account: A
Yahoo Web Hosting account could be used to publish a number of Local IVAs. A
domain costs from $0.99 to $15.99. My "cs2pr.us" domain cost $9.99
from Yahoo and $8.99 from Go-Daddy.com. I paid $59.88 at $4.99 per month for the
first year of Yahoo! web hosting. Yahoo includes my domain in the price
for web hosting. I own the domain name and my account will be renewed on an annual basis
by Yahoo at that price for the first five years! The next bill and year will
cost about $120 for web hosting for the entire sixth year.
I can decide to pay
the domain fee on my own at any time and move my pages to any web host I choose. Some may
cost less than Yahoo! or about the same. Competition will keep the monthly fee
down. I own the domain name and can use it for as long as I continue to pay the
annual ownership fee. I can sell the domain to the highest bidder. I own it. I
can keep it as long as I retain ownership by paying the original annual
registrant's fee.
Your
Account:
I
recommend Yahoo! Web Hosting for your Local IVA. You can use your domain
to publish a number of Local IVAs with access provided for each specific IVA web
page manager. Costs can be shared by several Local IVA page managers. You could publish
your Local IVA on a domain owned by another IVA person or on a domain owned by
you.
Shop
for your domain. Or share a domain. Or use a domain you already own.
(See
Above, Paragraph #5.)
Old
Web Page Procedure: All of the IVA web pages
were originally written and edited in the MS Word 7 html editor. I switched to MS Front
Page (June 2002) as the editor of my choice. I was a 58-year-old novice self taught on AOL
Hometown web hosting and then putting IVA pages up on
http://geocities.yahoo.com/, Yahoo's free web space, up to 15 Mb. I do keep learning as I go. I could
still use some expert help from the computer generations.
My high school friend, Jim Reed, has been a tremendous help in my discovery of
Front Page and in learning editing pathways I did not know existed. Jim is a
computer pro.
Beginning
in
March 2003 I paid $4.95 per month for GeoCities Plus to be rid of all the pop-up ads on my pages.
The monthly fee also raised the storage from 15MB to 500MB, and the "bandwidth" or data transfer limit
was increased from 3GB to 25GB per month. This was a
definite improvement for a fairly reasonable price, $59.40 per year. (Increased
to $6.95 per month, $83.40 per year, in October 2008. The policy change was due to
a merger and new management. It was the prelude to the end for Free GeoCities
pages!
My account, "dist1oh,"
included several hundred web pages under development for personal and political
projects over the years since 1996. The
monthly fee removed the distraction and irritation of pop-up ads from my pages
for every page access by a visitor to my pages. One project still is the design
of Model Public Office election
campaign materials and pages, to provide a totally free template for use by all
moderate nonpartisan candidates. For your
single-purpose Local IVA web pages, a free Local IVA directory on a domain owned
by another IVA participant may be all you need to manage your
web pages. The lack of pop-up ads is nice. You can own your own domain later if
want to upgrade your personal Internet presence. For example, if you manage political campaign pages you may see an upgrade
as necessary to manage all the pages you publish.
With the above
exceptions, it seems to me the whole IVA operation can be run for very low costs
shared with innumerable IVA participants. Very low cost with IVAs up and running in all 50 states. I
donate all of my time for free. And I see the IVA as composed entirely of participants
who donate a little time and pocket change to the populist independent ballot access movement.
Your youthful energy is much needed to transform our world. The future belongs to the young and the future will be
created by the young.
Ballot
access petitions
can be completed within days or weeks with each
participating IVA Petition Circulator getting just one to ten signatures.
Nonpartisan candidates and minor parties will
then have energy and time to campaign for public office. We will change our political
system from a bipartisan two-party monopoly dictatorship to a nonpartisan
independent political system. Our headquarters are on our computer desktops and
the Internet. We will have a more democratic
republic.

Interim
Acting Local Chair
