Independent Voters of America

We Believe:

We maintain our freedom to vote for the candidate of our choice in every election, regardless of party affiliation or lack thereof.

More people participate in elections when they are given more choices, more candidates, more ideas, more honest opinions, and more voices.

Anyone or any group that intentionally attempts to depress voter turnout is guilty of a crime against Democracy.

Independent voters are the deciding swing vote in every close election.

America’s Democracy, not just "participative" Democracy, is the best and most just system of government the world has ever known.

The two major political parties are more interested in money and power and control than they are in governing for the good of the American people.

We want to vote FOR candidates, not against them. We don’t believe in voting for the lesser of two evils or the “least worst” candidate.

As independents, we are not interested in more political parties. Look where the two we have got us today.

To take back our government, independent American voters must help break the two parties’ stranglehold on our elections.

People are imperfect; political candidates are people; therefore there is no perfect candidate.

The more people who participate in our democratic form of government, the stronger we make our country.

Young people overwhelmingly self-identify as Independents. They are working hard to take this country forward with new ideas, new ways of communicating, and new ways of building communities.
