National Chairman's Letter
March 2001
Dear Members and Friends of the Independent American Party,
Some of you have asked how you can get meaningfully involved in the IAP in
states where there is no state party organization. So I would like to offer a
few suggestions. And you may contact us by email at contact@usiap.org or
via post at IAP, 793 W. Green Oaks Dr., Murray, UT 84123.
We encourage you to become informed on the issues facing America today. One
source for material is our www.usiap.org web site which has about 200
Viewpoint articles. We suggest you meet with friends (who share similar views)
and form Independent American discussion groups to talk about issues and
consider ways of being effective in your community. Attending and speaking out
at public meetings, writing to public officials, writing letters-to-the-editor,
and calling in on talk-radio shows are effective ways you can exert your
influence for good.
If you are not already a member of the IAP, we invite you to become a
national member-at-large. We only require that you support the
Constitution for the United States and the Mission and Principles of the
Independent American Party. To become a member, please contact us and provide
your name, address, telephone, and email (if you have one); and indicate you
wish to become a member. Your personal information will be confidential. There
is no membership fee. We will email (or mail) you this monthly letter as well as
any special announcements.
In states where the IAP is organized (or starting to organize), we invite you
to also get involved in the state party there to help build and prepare for the
2002 elections. In other states, we suggest you contact the Constitution Party
or other like-minded third parties that may be organized there, and consider
what good you may be able to do by working through them. Some of you may want to
consider running for office in a partisan or non-partisan political race; or to
seek out good men and women and urge them to run for office.
If you are inclined to writing, we invite you to contribute Viewpoint or
other articles for consideration for our web site. Short articles (of one or two
pages) are usually treated as Correspondence for the web site. Articles should
have a title, your name, and the state (or country) which you are from. Emailed
articles should be in plain text format with a blank line between paragraphs,
and may be embedded in the email text or sent as an attached file. Articles sent
by post should be typewritten.
We are also seeking "contact persons" for each state so we can add
State pages with contact information on our national web site. The state pages
will include the contact person's name, email, and optionally, address and phone
number. The contact is requested to keep a record of legitimate contacts within
his or her state; and establish a dialogue among interested members. Please
contact us if you are interested in being a state contact for your state. When
there is a sufficient number of interested persons in a state, we will then move
to form an IAP in that state.
Yours for Freedom!
Bruce Bangerter
IAP National Chairman
