OHIVA Goal: Build the bottom-up Internet structure used by the  pro-democracy Proactive Voter Movement to create open Final Five Primary Elections (FFV) and Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) 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 OH Legislative and Executive Offices. Unite America. Occupy the U.S. Congress. Occupy the White House. Occupy

The ultimate IVA purpose is to give all citizens equal political speech under federal election law and under Ohio election law. IVA participants will accomplish ballot access for and Election Day support of pro-democracy candidates and issues. The IVA will publish ballot access petitions. Published petitions, available for download, will be petitions for pro-democracy and proactive voter candidates, minor political parties, and pro-reform referendum issues. 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.

The Ohio IVA will consistently seek pro-democracy proactive voter candidates who seek reasonable solutions for all political issues. The only requirement of 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 voters, who act as a proactive voter 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 Ohio ballot access for all minor parties will be one required concurrent IVA petition goal. The Ohio IVA will work to place candidates for local, State and national offices (President, Vice President, U.S. Senator, and U.S. Representative to Congress) from all minor parties on all Ohio ballots. Each IVA participant, individual voter, will then decide which Presidential pair, and other candidates, to vote for or endorse, as the proactive candidate most likely to win each public office. Each pro-democracy proactive public officeholder will help to eliminate the pointless bipartisan power struggle that now prevents open clean elections at all levels.

All IVA pro-democracy candidates must support basic electoral and political reforms to return control of the political process to the people of Ohio.

Candidates: Each IVA pro-democracy candidate, usually one per public office, could be a proactive candidate with a well-defined individual platform on issues. If not, an IVA pro-democracy 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.

One central IVA pro-democracy 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 proactive voter candidates who will provide government of, by, and for natural persons.

Briefly: The OHIVA can build a  pro-democracy proactive voter movement to maintain open ballot access for all public offices in Ohio with the least effort possible. With ballot access problems solved The Proactive Voter Movement can dedicate more time and effort toward the election of proactive voter candidates who will represent every person in the proactive Voter Majority. IVA proactive voter candidates elected to public office will govern for the common good of all citizens.

(Our Choice)

The Proactive Voter Movement can become strong enough to overcome the bipartisan (two-party) left/right stranglehold on our political process. Divided, the voter majority will continue to be factional and marginal. Together, the proactive voter 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)

Ohio pro-democracy 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 pro-democracy 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, proactive voter candidates can successfully compete with the bipartisan monopoly.

Each state requires different numbers. (Top of Page) (Your Voice)

Legislation: Develop and promote model legislation for ballot access and election laws for use in Ohio and throughout the fifty states. Model legislation must honor the equal protection provisions of the Ohio and the U.S. Constitutions in both the letter and the spirit of the law.
