The web page tools and concepts, under continuous development and currently functional, are outlined below. Free licensed tools for your use:

Bottom Up Politics: Our computer desktops are the only IVA headquarters, with local Independent Voters Alliance (IVA) web pages managed and chaired by local  participants in every voting precinct in every state. Our goal will be 500,000 Local IVAs controlled from the bottom-up in a more democratic republic! Each IVA Local Web Page Manager is the Leader of the Non-Partisan Independent Political Movement for Open Ballot Access. We are at home, from the bottom-up, in the only headquarters for our political movement. We are home based. Your home. My home. We lead from the bottom up. (Top of Page) (IVA) (IVA.zip Files)

Free Political Tools: The overall CS II goal is replacement of the "bipartisan two-party political system" with  a "non-partisan independent political system" that governs in the interests of human constituents, people. I am the creator of the non-partisan Free Tools CSII software. I am the lone writer and designer. I am one of many concerned citizens working to increase awareness of the electoral and political reforms needed to preserve our constitutional democratic republic. I work in cooperation with other proactive citizens building the non-partisan political movement. Our common goal is to increase bottom up participation in our democratic republic for the 21^st century.

Non-Partisan Independent Strategy: Development of web page tools for use by non-partisan independents is an integral part of the overall strategy for making the non-partisan political transition possible. Each software tool is packaged in a template ZIP file that can be easily modified and duplicated for local, non-partisan use. The IVA and other political tools are designed to enable control from the bottom up by a majority of our people. All of the CSII software tools are gifts to the large numbers of politically inactive non-partisan citizens in our republic. All worthwhile activities in life take substantial effort. Each participant in the non-partisan political movement supplies the effort needed. We still have a democratic republic, if we can keep it. Freedom is participation in power.

 Independent Voters Alliance (USAIVA): The National IVA web pages, published only as a subset with Local IVA Web Pages, explain how the IVA is designed to facilitate the transformation of the American political system from a monopoly "bipartisan two-party political system" into a competitive "non-partisan independent political system." Ballot access will become easier in all fifty states. A State IVA coalition political party will be established on the ballot in every state where an IVA coalition of non-partisan independents and minor parties would be more competitive against the bipartisan two-party monopoly. The goal is liberty and justice for all in a more democratic republic for all US citizens.

 Certify IVA Petition Circulators: The primary means to open ballot access to non-partisan independents. Write lesson plans to certify ballot access petition circulators in IVA classes, High School Civics classes, and College Civics classes in every state. For example, the goal in Ohio alone is 100,000 IVA certified ballot access petition circulators, about nine in each voting precinct. Ballot access petition circulation is the civics lesson overlooked in our schools at every level. IVA certified petition circulators will be a civil army to gain open ballot access in each of the fifty states. Every ballot in every election throughout our republic will contain more non-partisan candidates, more minor political parties, and more initiative-referendum issues to have more ballot choices. "Freedom is participation in power," said Cicero, a Roman Senator, 2000 years ago. Become an IVA certified ballot access petition circulator. Participate.

Ballot access petition circulator training and making petition circulator field kits takes about one hour to complete. All inquiries are welcome. "If not you, who? If not now, when?" Join the IVA civil army. Join the non-partisan movement for political and electoral reform. Promote and practice Active Citizenship.

 Local IVA Web Page Managers: IVA web pages are templates that can be edited, launched and managed from the local level by each Local IVA web page manager in his/her area at no cost to the Local IVA manager. For example, the Local IVA model web pages, Independent Voters Alliance, Hamilton County, Ohio, are devoted to providing local ballot access for non-partisan independent candidates, minor parties, and voter initiatives, totally cost-free. The IVA goal is free Local IVA web pages in every voting precinct in every state in our republic. For example, Ohio has 11,366 precincts (based upon the 2000 US Census population results). The IVA expects the bulk of IVA web page managers to be high school and college students who can apply their Internet skills to taking control of their political futures. The IVA provides a functional framework to establish Local IVA web pages where voters can effectively influence and participate in the future of politics. Cost-free Local IVA web pages are a primary means to gain non-partisan independent ballot access.

IVA.zip Files: Coalition participants can publish no-cost Local IVA web pages in their precinct, community, town, county, or other electoral district. Get a USAIVA.zip web pages file on a Free Tools CSII Mini-CD or CD-R (see insert above) from any Local IVA Web Page Manager for material costs, less than one dollar. The ZIP file includes all the easy instructions you will need to set up and manage your Local IVA web pages. IVA ZIP files are also available immediately sent by Email attachment at no cost. Request your free USAIVA.zip web page file by Email attachment. Create and manage State IVA web pages for your state. (The OHIVA.zip file is used by OH residents to create and manage Local IVA web pages for their OH County or electoral area.

 Model.zip Political Campaign Files: Template political campaign web pages and campaign materials are derived from work on the "Rich" campaign for US Congress. The template contains many creative campaign features. The template is available immediately and sent no-cost in a Model.zip file by Email attachment. Or, the Model.zip file is included on the Free Tools CSII Mini-CD or CD-R (see insert above) that can be obtained from any IVA Web Page Manager for material costs, less than one dollar. Any reasonably "moderate" non-partisan independent or minor party candidate with common sense views can use the materials for free. Request your free Model.zip template file by Email. Town Hall Election Day Politics.

Adapt the "model" template for use in your election campaign. Feel free. There are no hidden costs. Free means $0.00.

INDEPENDENT LIKE YOU is a political campaign slogan I would like to see used by all candidates who use the "model campaign" web pages. Not required. There is an 85% majority nearly everywhere in our republic who  self-identify as "non-partisan independents." They want "non-partisan" representation. They choose to not support any political party whatsoever. When they vote, they vote for the person. They are non-partisan. (Unique) (Top of Page) (IVA.zip Files)

THRO.zip Ad Campaign Files: "Throw the Hypocritical Rascals Out" of Congress. The "2010 T.H.R.O. Ad" is available for free distribution and endorsement by every non-partisan independent and minor party 2010 Congressional candidate. Cost-Free. The "2010 T.H.R.O. Ad" campaign kicks off in January 2009, and every even election year will have a T.H.R.O. campaign until all the Hypocritical Rascals are Thrown Out of Congress, until we have ALL NEW FACES IN CONGRESS. Read the above linked THRO page for help with your 2010 Congressional campaign. Your free THRO.zip campaign file can be sent by Email attachment. (Included on the Free Tools CSII Mini-CD or CD-R. See insert above).

 Common Sense Pamphlet: VotRevPam.pdf

(in a Free, <220kb Adobe Acrobat file) 

The Overdue Voter Revolution

A Non-Partisan Indictment of the DNC & RNC

An intentional mass movement, it seems to me, needs an intellectual basis, some jumping off place. A declaration, perhaps in a pamphlet, may be needed to get the ball rolling. If the "common sense" of this CSII pamphlet rings true to you, if it reflects your political reality, tell others, promote the message and reading of the pamphlet. The pamphlet was converted to an Adobe Acrobat file in Feb 2006, to be a free download on the Internet. The electronic pamphlet file (with internal navigation links) is free to every CSII visitor. It can be read on-line or downloaded to print a free full-page copy. (Included on the Free Tools CSII Mini-CD or CD-R. See insert above).

Agreement on the details of the pamphlet are not expected. Participate in the coalition for your reasons for the political reforms you need. Please do your part. (Unique) (Top of Page) (IVA.zip Files)
