Independent Voters Alliance (hamcoOHIVA) Hamilton County OH Motto: Freedom is Participation in Power* * Said Cicero, A Senator in the Forum of the Roman Empire around 2000 years ago No
one can do it alone. It is up to you. So it is now, and always will be. Change
is up to everyone. Together.
(Innovation)
Increase your freedom through
participation in nonpartisan IVA activities in the precinct and county where
you vote. The Big Three Reforms, and Election Innovation 1 (Your Voice) (Top of Page) (Occupy)
Can't
Vote, Can't Contribute:
New leaders elected without support
from special interest money can help eliminate the appearance of
wrongdoing by our leaders. Your Voice:
Your highly selective vote for
low budget highly qualified nonpartisan candidates, who accept
campaign money only from eligible voters, will help elect leaders who
have no financial conflicts of interest to interfere with the integrity of their
civic leadership. Clean elections will help build public confidence in our political
system. Clean government will
provide representation for the
99.999% in all public offices.
Equal Political
Speech Amendment.
Incumbent Turnover:
The
election of candidates who are self-term-limited is equally important to
freedom and liberty. Public office must be
embraced as a temporary public duty. In a "republic" all
citizens are recognized as co-equals, equal participants. Corruption of
public servants can be avoided only by widespread sharing of public office.
A good public servant is not entirely dependent upon the public payroll for
a livelihood.
A Term Limits
Amendment.
Limit Lobbyists, Information Only:
Integrity in
public office is made possible by the financial independence of the office
holder. Public office should never be considered as a "job" or "career." The
obligation to "public interest" must preclude any self-interest on the part of
the office holder. "Job security" for incumbents is the enemy of good public
service. Special interests and lobbyist money
create the career incumbent
power structure that corrupts any two-party political system.
Power creates arrogance in public office. Power corrupts. "Self-interest"
eventually becomes the central motivation for all career incumbents.
Career self-interest, not the free flow of lobbyist information, is the source
of corruption.
Equal Political
Speech Amendment Result: The purpose of any special interest money given to legislators
and executives will clearly be identified as bribery.

(Occupy) The IVA goal is to elect highly qualified
populist nonpartisan and minor party candidates who will not accept any special interest money. Candidates we
support with petitions and campaign participation will not have any strings attached to their offices and will be free to govern in the interests of all their human constituents, their entire electoral community.
We are the
99.999%! We can occupy elections and win every public office running
against career incumbent D's & R's. You can participate to reach our goal of 100,000
IVA certified petition circulators in Ohio. You can run
