The Proactive Voter Movement

Open Ballot Access and Equal Political Speech

Meet the IVA

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! 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 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.

All IVA cooperative candidates must support basic electoral and political reforms to return control of the political process to the American people.

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.
