The Independent Voter Network is dedicated to providing political analysis and rational commentary in an effort to elevate the level of our public discourse.

To achieve these objectives, IVN has established four clear rules that all editors, contributors, and participants on the Network must respect:

1) No Personal Attacks

Always attack the argument, never the person making the argument.

2) No Self-Promotion

This news platform is for discussing issues.  You may purchase an advertisement for promotional purposes.

3) Sources must be Substantiated

Just because someone else said it does not mean its true.  The gossip stops here.

4) No Partisan-Based Attacks

If your sentence starts with “Democrats think…” or “All Republicans are…” your article will be rejected.
