The Independence Party of America (IPA) is a political party in the United States, founded on September 23, 2007 by activists from the Independence Party of New York. Its current National Chairman is Frank MacKay.[1] Dean Barkley, a former United States Senator and Independence Party activist, has agreed to play an advisory role with the new party.[2]
The Independence Party of Minnesota voted to affiliate with the new national party at its state convention on January 26, 2008.[3] The Reform Party of Pennsylvania affiliated on October 22, 2007[4] and the Independent Green Party of Virginia affiliated on January 10, 2008.[5]
An effort was made in 2008 to gain ballot access for the party's Texas affiliate, the Texas Independence Party but this effort failed to secure the required signatures to qualify the party. [6]
