ESTABLISHING A STRONG POLITICAL ALTERNATIVE FOR AMERICA
We will not mince words, dance around, or make apology for what our
intentions are. Our intentions are to promote a strong political alternative to
the two party system that has become severely affected by the influence of those
who use their financial power and prestige to promote allegiance to a world of
corporation dominated international laws of trade above the interests of
national civilizations and the rights of independent Americans. We believe our
national survival, as an independent nation based upon our Declaration Of
Independence, lies in the balance.
Today, we see a great need to promote patriotism for who we are as an
independent nation and a people who have made great sacrifice for our people’s
rights. We see a need to promote confidence in the laws of our Constitution and
respect for that law as being the instrument enabling our people to lay claim to
their rights. We see a need to have a vision for the future that includes the
recognition of a new political party that believes in promoting civil defense
through use of the people’s Constitutional rights for self defense.
Where we see on page one of this letter an introduction to our message that
can be used as a dialogue when contacting people, page two lays out our plan for
how we intend to accomplish our political goals.
We begin with the distribution of this information, then we look for the
needed support.
We look for people who understand the events of our day and who share our
concerns as expressed here and in the "We The People Of The Union"
pamphlet.
In a state such as Kansas, once we obtain agreements from at least 400 people
to participate in a petition drive, we can then begin to collect the required
petition signatures for official state Independent American Party recognition.
The 400 people can consist of those who will help pass out this information as
well as those who will only agree to help us in the petition drive after the 400
supporters have been found. When the petition drive begins, 400 people will be
able to collect 18,000 signatures with a minimum of only 45 collected signatures
each. Larger states will require larger numbers.
For each successful state petition drive, the Independent American Party will
have ballot access in the coming 2006 election year. As important as it is to
succeed in achieving IAP ballot access, increasing the political awareness of
the citizens is as important as is ballot access.
The National Chairman of the IAP has given the following instruction for
ballot access:
"I have one major suggestion on gaining ballot access: You may consider
yourself as having two missions (1) to gain ballot access, and (2) to recruit
party members. I strongly suggest that you keep those two missions entirely
separate from each other, or you are likely to fail with the ballot access
one."
"The brochure you have written may well lend itself to recruiting
petitioners for the ballot access drive. But I would not use it to get people to
sign the petition. Sometimes we are tempted to try to convert the signers into
members, but we lose too much time in doing that."
"In our last petition drive in Utah (even though we missed it by 500
names), we didn’t even try to promote the party. Our approach was -
"Every party ought to have the right to be on the ballot" - and it
worked very well. People from all political persuasions were willing to sign our
petition. When anyone asked for information about our party, we then handed them
a flyer, but we did not try to (use) flyers in our approach."
"So you might consider this for the petition efforts; and concern your
self with recruiting in a separate effort."
In every state of the Union, with the support of concerned citizens who can
see that our rights can be easily lost if we are not willing to stand up for
them, we should be able to find many more than 400 supporters. Though many might
not have the time or means to directly engage in the effort, many will still
wish us success in our work of defending our rights of liberty.
