ST. GEORGE — Looking to regain a spot on Utah ballots, members of the Independent American Party are working on gathering 2,000 signatures from the state’s residents in time to find a candidate to represent the party for the 2014 elections.
Started in 1998 in Utah, the Independent American Party gained support from tens of thousands of voters nationwide in its infancy but lost support and its footing on ballots after struggling to establish leadership, said Kelly Gneiting, the party’s national chairman.
“There needs to be someone who is willing to step up and do the right thing,” he said. “We consider ourselves stepping out.”
The party has enough signatures to be on ballots in New Mexico, Oregon and Arizona, with Utah being the next possible state, Gneiting said.
Oh wow, that’s great.
They got the sigs, and are still collecting more, for a cushion.
BTW, unfortunately the Nevada IAP isn’t affiliated with the National IAP, yet they already did that strategy and already have elected members to even partisan office.
Good news. 2,000 signatures is doable, but if I understand the article correctly they don’t have a whole lot of time left.
Follow what the IAP did/does in Nevada. Run people in every district and you may win something. Like a Sheriff office or something……..
