Not sure how this article is notable. No asserted coverage aside of that it is an organization that makes endorsements but any organization can. At best, barely notable.

 * Strong keep, speedy keep IVI-IPO provided key endorsements early in the careers of some of the brightest moments in Illinois politics, including Harold Washington and Barack Obama. Links to here from about a dozen content-space articles, including two Barack Obama project articles (Barack Obama social policy, Illinois Senate elections of Barack Obama). Beyond "an organization that makes endorsements" it is an organization that gives out recognition awards (Carol Ronen, Pat Dowell) and registers and educates voters. IVI-IPO helped organize resistance to Chicago's Parking meter deal, bringing suit against the city. IVI-IPO administers and publishes online candidate questionaires, including some basic biographic information, which are important sources for several articles on Illinois and Chicago politicians. Article is rated by Illinois and Chicago projects. Hugh (talk) 04:59, 21 June 2013 (UTC) (minor contributor)
