No. The Independent American Federation is not establishing a new party, running a party primary, or creating a new ballot line. It is a public-facing initiative organized around a proposed commitment for independent public service.
No. Adult U.S. citizens who are eligible to vote can subscribe to updates regardless of political registration or background. Joining the list does not alter your voter registration or imply that you support any candidate.
No. Voters and representatives from different states have different priorities. The commitment concerns accountability, campaign practices, cooperation, and service—not a national list of policy positions.
Independent is a political identification or ballot designation, depending on the state. Future IAF affiliation is intended to signal a specific, public, reviewable commitment. The formal process is still under development, and no candidate is certified here today.
Certainly. Everyone can support constituent-first public service. A future candidate's eligibility for formal IAF affiliation will be addressed in the published program rules, not assumed from this website.
No. It means putting constituent priorities ahead of automatic party allegiance. Representatives still need to work with other members of Congress to get things done.
This first website does not endorse, certify, list, or fund candidates. A Common America is a Super PAC, and its activity is governed by federal campaign-finance rules. Future candidate-related features will be considered separately and reviewed for legal compliance.
The proposed IAF standard asks future affiliated candidates to seek campaign support from eligible individual residents of the state they intend to represent. It is a voluntary ethical commitment intended to reinforce accountability to constituents; it is not a statement of what federal law requires all campaigns to do.
No. The proposed in-state contribution standard is for future affiliated candidate committees. A Common America is a separate independent expenditure-only political committee with different federal rules and public disclosure obligations. This website is not accepting donations at launch.
Because public service should not be treated as a stepping-stone to selling access. The final agreement will need to define the scope and verification of this proposed commitment.
No. The launch site's primary invitation is simply to subscribe to occasional updates. There is no contribution form on this website.
Occasional news as the commitment, public materials, and opportunities to participate develop. You can unsubscribe at any time. We won't treat joining as a vote, a donation, or a candidate endorsement.
It's memorable and a little playful. The full name is Independent American Federation. The serious part is the commitment to service, independence, and accountability behind the name.
