Publish IVA State, County Pages? Independent Voters Alliance (USAIVA) United States of America National Purpose |
|
USAIVA Goal: Build the bottom-up Internet structure used by the populist Proactive Voter Movement to create open Final Five Primary Elections and RCV (Ranked Choice Voting) General Elections in every state.1 Have vote by mail 2 available for all eligible voters in every state.3 Equal Political Speech under the law. We are the 99.999%. Occupy Elections. Everybody Vote! 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 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 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. Nonpartisan Leadership: The USAIVA will support establishment of a cooperative IVA nonpartisan populist 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 populist nonpartisan 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
populist nonpartisan 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 populist nonpartisans, 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 participant, individual voter or minor party, will then
decide which Presidential pair, and other candidates, to vote for or
endorse, as the populist candidate most likely to win each public office. Each populist nonpartisan and
minor party public officeholder will help to eliminate the pointless
bipartisan power struggle that now prevents open clean elections at all
levels.
A Candidates:
Each IVA cooperative candidate, usually one per public office, could be
a populist nonpartisan 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. Nonpartisans 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 populist nonpartisan 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 Briefly,
the IVA can build a
populist nonpartisan political 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 populist candidates who will represent every person in the
populist
voter majority.
IVA populist candidates elected to public office on all levels will govern
for the common good of all citizens.
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 populist nonpartisan
majority can move toward a more democratic republic of, by, and for all the people of the United States.
