The Organizational Convention for the National Alliance of Independent American Parties held their Organizational Convention at the American Heritage Academy in Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday, January 18th of this year. The political parties in attendance were the National Independent American Party, the National American Party, and unofficial representatives of the National Constitution Party. The present delegates voted to delay the start of the meeting until 9:30 AM for the other delegates to arrive, which they did. At 9:30, a.m

Opening benediction was given, followed by a introductory speech by National IAP Chairman, Kelly Gneiting, and a Pledge to adhere to the U.S. Constitution and the freedoms it represents which are in danger of being eroded by our government and other forces which seek to undermine our founding laws. Afterwards each delegate was allowed to introduce themselves, which was then followed by several speeches given by Wayne Hill, Pro-Life Richardson, Cody Quirk, whom addressed the importance of coming together and unity among constitutionalists, and the afterwards by Jack Brown of the Oregon Constitution Party (a state affiliate with the National IAP), who introduced a set of proposed bylaws (titled the ‘Covenant of the National Alliance of Independent American Parties’) for the delegates to adopt- of which was discussed for some time before the break for lunch at 12:00 PM.

After lunch, a Call To Order was issued and the convention reconvened at 1:00 PM. Several speeches were given by a few other delegates on the importance of the U.S. Constitution and on moral traditional values, including by Hal Massey of the Utah IAP, Will Christensen of the Americans Elect of Arizona (a state affiliate with the National IAP), and American Party National Chairman, Arly Pedersen. Afterwards, the wording to the proposed bylaws of the National Alliance was debated and altered in some spots through several two-thirds majority votes, and was then decided by a overwhelming majority of convention delegates to adopt the ‘Covenant of the National Alliance of Independent American Parties’ as it stood, and to hold another meeting at a date, which is to be predetermined by the leaders and official members of the National Alliance of Independent American Parties, so as to make any further additions to the bylaws and to address and vote on other matters which pertain to the National Alliance, if deemed necessary.

The Convention was then concluded at 5:00PM by a closing benediction given by Wayne Hill
