When you say “we” are going to do this and “our” strategy is that, who is “we”? Who is on your nominating committee? Who are the “insiders” in your party? Who is your running mate?

And what do you mean “we are not trying to be recognized by the states”?

This is how to get on the ballot in the solitary state of California. Do you think you will qualify?

_____________________________

California: Per section 5100 of the California Election Code, ballot access requires one of the two conditions below to be met.[8]

If at the last preceding gubernatorial election there was polled for any one of the party’s candidates for any office voted on throughout the state, at least 2 percent of the entire vote of the state.
If on or before the 135th day before any primary election, it appears to the Secretary of State, as a result of examining and totaling the statement of voters and their political affiliations transmitted to him or her by the county elections officials, that voters equal in number to at least 1 percent of the entire vote of the state at the last preceding gubernatorial election have declared their intention to affiliate with that party.

I expect to be on the ballot in CA, via the American Independent Party line.

We've formed a completely different sort of political party. We call it a "meta-party." We make our affiliations and endorsements based on principle, not party affiliation or registration. This makes it possible for us to run our candidates on any ballot line we want, or as independents. Our choice.
