The IAP (Independent American Party) is today’s DISRUPTIVE POLITICAL PARTY due to five reasons:
First, the IAP has principles (15 in fact) and haven’t sold out their principles the way the GOP & Dems have – at the convenience of pressure or according to popularity polls and the 'winds' of the time;
Second, the IAP is a truly Conservative option for voters – rather than the progressive Republicans and down-right Socialist Democrats;
Third, the IAP is a National Party throughout the United States and is spreading the idea of Proper Government and Proper Constitutional Principles out into the American Hemisphere (North, Central, South America and the Caribbean with the Independent Americas Party ... were you aware Cuba has a Constitution? It is not like ours, but almost all counties in the American Hemisphere have one now. They don't live by what they say, and they don't specify God-given rights or limited government or Federalism, or basic Constitutional principles, hence the need);
Fourth, the IAP unapologeticually brings “the Almighty” back into political discussions as the Founding Fathers did and intended (no particular denomination but not afraid to mention the 'Hand of Providence' or by showing appreciation, recognition and thanks for the “Miracles” God performed during the Revolutionary War – before and since -- etc.)., and because this is a covenant country with God Almighty as George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and others attest; finally,
Fifth, the IAP relies upon the U.S. Constitution and proper Constitutional Principles to develop the answers to today’s issues and problems facing our local, state, and central government – hence we also call ourselves the “Constitution Solution” party.

The National Independent American Party (NIAP) began as the Utah Independent American Party.
On May 16th, 1998, the Utah IAP held a straw vote favoring the formation of a National Independent American Party. A committee of six individuals was selected to initiate the organization and by Nov 7, 1998 the National IAP was officially recognized by a binding vote of 79%.
In January 1999 the national IAP began holding semi-annual National Conferences. The national chairman attended a number of state and national conventions of other like-minded third parties across the nation to build ties. Our web site (launched in September, 1998) flourished, and we attracted members in about forty states.
December 2021 and the beginning of 2022 was a difficult time for IAP faithful, because we lost both Wayne Hill (Nov 2021) and Will Christensen (Dec 2021) within 30 days of each other. They passed away and were the last two founders of both Utah IAP and the National IAP - John Paulson was the third founder who passed away several years previous.
2023 was another banner year for Utah IAP as it marks the beginning of a new 'front', a new expansion of the concept .... of taking the Constitutional Principles, the 15 Principles, the 'proper' understanding of what government's first priority should be, as well as the 'proper' views of the responsibilities of citizens and reaching out to ALL AMERICANS, not just those in North America but ALL the AMERICAS !! Spreading the IAP to Central American countries, the the countries of the Caribbean, to South American countries ... to ALL AMERICANS of the AMERICAN HEMISPHERE. Check out the website (iapinternational.us).
15 Principles *short version"
We declare that the 15 Principles of Liberty (as well as both Proper and 'Good' Government) must not be compromised, but should be followed in order to maintain a 'Proper Government' of our Constitutional Republic in the United States of America ... AND
We are NOT a democracy (sorry Democrats !) Our Constitution states that it "guarantees" a "Republican Form of Government." (Article IV Section 12, called the "Guarantee Clause") So, does the Pledge of Allegiance ! ... Duh !
The 15 Principles include (with some emphasis added):
• free governments are based on moral law (1)
• proper government should protect God-given rights of all citizens
(life, liberty, and happiness - aka:property) (2, 4, 5, 6, 13)
• the Constitution is a solemn compact which all officers of government are under duty to obey by oath (3) [emphasis added]
• we are at war with the enemies of freedom and our God-given liberties (i.e., Communism, Socialism, etc., in whole or in part) (7, 8) (e.g, CRT, ESG, etc.)
• all citizens should bear their fair share of the cost of government (9) [drat!]
• we believe in honest 'Constitutional' money (gold and silver coinage) (10) [not paper IOUs]
• each state is sovereign (11) (and should not be beholding to the Central Government, in Washington D.C. either financially or otherwise)
• treaties or agreements with other countries (or world organizations) should not deprive any U.S. citizens of any constitutional rights (aka: God-given rights, therefore they can't deprive or limit them either!) (14)
• it is a violation of the Constitution to weaken our military to the point required to protect the States and our borders from invasion (15)

In 2001 the IAP grew from one state party (Utah) to three organized state parties (Minnesota, Tennessee and Utah), and twelve prospective state parties. Area Coordinators were assigned to each of four regions of the country.
The IAP adopted its first National Platform in August, 2002, and ended the year with three organized and 18 prospective state parties.
In 2003 the Party changed the structure of its officer positions from the traditional Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary and Treasurer, and elected a Chair and 4 Vice-Chairs.
By 2004 the party involvement dwindled, and it was unable to maintain ballot status in any state; however, the party was later revitalized and soon gained ballot access in Utah and New Mexico. In the 2014 election cycle, the IAP supported a total of 31 candidates in local, state, and federal campaigns across nine states.
Today, the IAP of Utah continues to grow right here. (Nationally, with members in almost all 50 states and the District of Columbia). At the end of 2022, the IAP of Utah is a party with 75,475 registered voters in the State of Utah (additional growth by Sept.18, 2023 shows the IAP is now up to 79,528) keeping it the third largest party in the state - more than the Libertarians, Constitution, and United Utah parties combined and doubled !!

While we say:
. "We were given our name in the 19th Century, organized in the 20th Century, and . in the 21st Century it is our time to fulfill our mission;"
... we also realize it will take significant work to "fulfil our mission."(... 'to restore the Constitutionl republic' ....) but, we are more than willing an ready to actively work for that goal !
Actually, the name of the party comes from an 1844 Presidential Candidate who ran, not as a Whig (it wouldn't become the Republican party for another ten years - 1854) or as a Democrat, but as an Independent American for the highest office in the land. He was also a religious leader who looked into the future and said:
"There will come a time when there will be two great political parties. One will . be called the Republican, and the other Democrat. These two parties will . go to war with each other and out of these two parties will spring another . party, which will be the Independent American Party. ..."
. (Mosiah Lyman Hancock's Journal)
[Historic Note: In 1844 the 'Republican Party' did not exist! That year there were Whigs and Democrats. It wasn't until 1854 - ten years in the future - when the Republican Party formed with Abraham Lincoln as the party's first Presidental Candidate. a few years later the RNC was formed and it became the Grand Old Party (G.O.P.) There were Republicans before, but they were the Democrat-Republican Party which were also called the Anti-Federalists ... back in the 1792.]
That man was Joseph Smith, Jr.. On June 19,1844, when he was running for the Presidency of the United States when he made the statement and his 'American Political Prophecy' was recorded in the journal of Mosiah Lyman Hancock, passed down to us and documented for us today.
Parable of the Flag
We also remind people that the US Flag portends three parties - according to Cliven Bundy, who gave us this tidbit at a Utah State Convention.
Everyone know the good old Red, White and Blue, also known as our National Emblem, 'Old Glory," our Flag. We all know (politically) who the Red party is... (the Republican or GOP).
And we all know who the Blue party is ... (the Democrats). ............................
But who is the party representing the White Stars and Stripes? .............................. . WHY, the Independent American party, of course!
Ezra Taft Benson is quoted as saying:
“... if you vote for the lesser of two evils, you are still voting for evil… Always vote . for the best possible candidate, whether they have a chance of winning or not. Then, . even if the worst possible candidate wins, the Lord will bless our nation more because . more people were willing to stand up for what is right.”
He states that 'voting for the lesser of two evils ... (is) still voting for eveil ..." We also go on to interpret that to mean the leadership of both of the two major parties (Dem & Rep/GOP; DNC & RNC) are corrupt and 'evil.'
So why are the voters still voting for the 'lesser of two evils' and surprised when they are still getting the same old 'evil ' result?? Didn't Albert Einstein call the concept of 'wanting something different while doing the exact same thing ... INSANITY'? Something to seriously consider!!
OUR SOLUTION: Look to the viable THIRD Option ... THE INDEPENDENT AMERICAN Party. The Constitution SOLUTION Party !
As Samuel Adams clearly stated, back in 1774:
"(THIS) COUNTRY SHALL BE INDEPENDENT,
AND WE WILL BE SATISFIED WITH NOTHING SHORT OF IT."
Or John Adams, who said (in:1776)
"INDEPENDENCE now ...and INDEPENDENCE forever."
