Many are asking what next? Prayerfully ponder this ‘vision’ as an action item in your own state. Let’s help one another and keep it grassroots oriented as we go!
The goal of the Gold State Initiative is to restore Liberty to America by restoring Liberty to the States. Rather than focusing on Federal elections where voter impact is negligible, the Liberty Movement shifts its focus to State, Sheriffs, County and Municipal races which are closer, and more responsive, to voters.
As the State Legislatures and statewide offices are filled with principled, Liberty-lovers, they change their States’ laws to support Liberty. At the same time, they wield the Tenth Amendment to the US Constitution like a patriotic ax to nullify all Federal overreach and to restore State Sovereignty.
Free States will be come magnets of opportunity, attracting the best and the brightest from around the nation to exercise their creativity, initiative and entrepreneurship. They will rapidly recover from the economic depression caused by government regulation and fiat money business cycles, becoming oases of opportunity.
We begin this process by focusing on our own States, our own lands of opportunity. And as Americans, we share what we learn in the process to challenge and assist other States to do the same. The extent to which we are successful is the extent to which we restore both the American Dream America as a beacon of hope to the rest of the world.
Transforming Your State into a Free State
Two interrelated projects will be used to transform a State into a Free State. First, we need to shift the conversation about government policy to a plan to restore Liberty in every area. Second, we need to recruit and elect to a majority of elective offices principled Liberty candidates pledged to this platform.
The nexus of this effort is the Liberty Platform. This platform will be a comprehensive, principled plan to transform the State. We will enlist the best minds from across the State and from around the nation to develop this plan. The platform will be tailored to the specific offices involved – Legislative, County, Sheriff and Municipal. Every issue needs to be examined for its constitutionality and economic effects.
The Liberty Platform, and its development, will be publicized by every means available. All publicity will be accompanied by a call for men and women of good will and accomplishment to run for office on this platform. Candidates who endorse this platform will be vetted at a basic level to make sure they get the State’s leadership stamp of approval. More than one candidate may be approved for any office. Candidates can be of any party or independents. We will assist all candidates and other spokesmen with the tools they need to publicize the Platform.
Since there has been no effort like this in recent history, the effort itself will be newsworthy. Many of the proposals will be radically at odds with the status quo, and will provoke discussion. This discussion is necessary to shift the conversation. Our model is the work Ron Paul has done to take the Federal Reserve from an obscure issue with little public understanding, to a front burner topic today in the last five year.
The Gold State Initiative (GSI)
Why do we call this initiative “Gold State”? Since Liberty is the Gold Standard of politics, a free State will be neither blue nor red, but Gold! Our plan is to make the majority of the nation’s states Gold States, leading the way to a re-birth of Liberty and its concomitants, Peace and Prosperity.
Conceivably a four-year effort can gain the majority in most State governments. Announce of our inception in Fall, 2012. The Liberty Movement developing in each State can provide the infrastructure for political organizing. The GSI in each state will be focused primarily on Platform development, candidate recruitment and support, and public relations.
Since GSI will be a combination think-tank and political action committee, we should investigate multiple tax status – 501 c(3), 501 c(4) and a political action committee. We should let operational economy be our primary concern. Below is a suggested timeline for each state’s Gold State Initiative.
Fall of 2012
2013
2014
Now is the time to get started in your state.
The GSI in each state is necessarily a grassroots effort. It is the logical place for the Liberty Movement to shift its focus after the Ron Paul campaign.

Here’s an open letter to share with friends going to the Republican Party District 01 Convention in Tulsa this weekend. I am asking for your vote and your prayers and your support in this effort. Thank you for all you do for life and for liberty in our land!
Dear Republican Friends/Leadership,
Most of you know me from things we have worked on together or via websites/blogs/emails/ and our mutual efforts to get our country back on course. I would love to represent you and serve in the capacity of a delegate to the National GOP Convention this year. I believe my experience serves the party well in this role. Most know that I have worked tirelessly to move the ship of state in the ‘right’ direction. I place core principles and operating philosophy above party, because I believe that is what will best grow our party and solve the tremendous problems we face. While Christian values will always trump party politics, I think that is what makes our party the hope of the nation — because we do honor ethics and values in our party. Sure we need to do better and we will as we challenge one another in the process and as we shine the light on matters.
We as a party must now come to a consensus and work together in the days ahead not only to defeat Obama, but to elect principled conservative, Republicans up and down the ladder. You know me and that I will continue to work to get out the truth and build our party around core principles. On that you can rest assured. In addition to that, I will continue to work to keep people involved in productive ways. There is much we all agree on and much left for us to debate as we work toward difficult economic solutions ahead and get our businesses set free from over-reaching regulations so that they can truly prosper and innovate and create jobs. We need less government — a lot less government!
Through the years I have served on most committees and in most volunteer roles available in campaigns and relative to issues advocacy in the Republican Party both in Texas and now in Oklahoma. In recent years, I have focused on communications networks and mentoring future leaders. I appreciate the many people and the countless hours that go into making our party great. You are a part of that process. Thank you! Together, we must hold our own people and our own party accountable to our platform and core principles even as we challenge our opponents on substantive matters.
It is important what we say and how we say it. The message and the actions must line up! I helped with some of the original teaparty efforts and rallies and became widely known for social networking; training and mentoring others all along the way. I will work with you to continue to grow our party and I believe that in doing so we will all help to Restore the Republic in the process. This will cause others to join us and actively engage as they see that we mean business and we mean what we say.
I ask for your support to be a delegate to the Republican National Convention to be held in Tampa later this year. I will do my best to represent you well and will work with with others to reach consensus on what is truly best for our party and our nation. We will achieve our common goals together. We must. The very future of the nation depends upon us doing so.
