    OUR AMERICA INITIATIVE ANNOUNCES STATE “LOBBY DAYS”
    Â
    Activists Across the Country Will Advocate Liberty Priorities in
    State Capitals
    Â
    January 13, 2015, Salt Lake City, UT -- With legislatures in dozens
    of states gearing up for their 2015 sessions, the Our America
    Initiative has announced that members of the organization across the
    country will conduct “lobby days” in their respective states to
    make legislators aware of the concerns and priorities of liberty
    advocates.
    Â
    The Our America Initiative, led by Honorary Chairman Gov. Gary
    Johnson, is a national advocacy group that focuses on protecting
    civil liberties, reducing the size and cost of government and
    promoting economic freedom.
    Â
    Announcing the state-level efforts, Our America senior advisor Ron
    Nielson said, “The fight for greater individual freedom and less
    government is not just a federal one. Across the nation, state and
    local governments are taking actions and making decisions every day
    that impact liberty. As these decisions are made, it is essential
    that policy-makers hear from those who believe in reducing the role
    of government in our everyday lives.
    Â
    “As state legislatures begin their work for 2015, supporters of
    the Our America Initiative are organizing to provide that voice
    for liberty.”
    Â
    Our America’s legislative priorities in each state will be
    targeted toward efforts to reduce taxes, eliminate unnecessary
    regulation, and reverse trends toward over-criminalization and
    militarization of law enforcement. Protection and restoration of
    civil liberties, greater choices in education and health care, and
    increased transparency in government are likewise on the agenda in
    state capitals across the country.
    Â
    Advocacy efforts are already under way in numerous states, ranging
    from tax reform in Georgia to opposing Common Core in numerous
    states to judicial reform in Louisiana. Other issues include
    opposing the use of federal drug task force grants to militarize
    local law enforcement and resisting the over-regulation of Uber and
    other entrepreneurial transportation networks.
    Â

Subject: free resources for candidates

Message Body:
Bob;   Is there a way to effectively notify party candidates about
VoteForMe.com.   Each Candidate has a free listing, with a picture and
unlimited updates and postings .  We tested VFM in Shreveport, and florida
this past election.  Achieved a phenomenal number of VOTERS looking at our
site.  We are unique in that the only thing that attracts our user, is voter
information.  77% of our visitors polled as undecided voters.  Help us get
the word to the candidates at all levels.  Thanks. G Greer

/"Voters deserve to know a little about the candidates who are running 
to represent them and one great way is through a background check. That 
is why I was happy to submit to candidate verification and contribute 
money to the cause and I hope you do the same."/

Dear Wes,Â

Happy 2015 and nice to reconnect yesterday on the telephone. Â I'm 
writing to update you on the progress of our non-profit, 
CandidateVeification, and ask you to please forward this message to any 
of your state affiliates or contacts who might be interested in 
supporting our mission and using our service.Â

CandidateVerification is like the 'CarFax' of politics, providing 
candidates with a free self-authorized background from one of the 
largest employment screening companies in the United States. Â 2014 was 
a strong proof of concept phase for our work, with the majority of 
incumbent and challenge candidates in King County participating upon the 
suggestion of PACs and Parties.Â
Here's an editorial from the Seattle Times summarizing our work:Â 
http://seattletimes.com/html/opinion/2024685649_erinmccallumnoelframeopedelectionsxxxml.html

Each background check costs $200, and we raise money from the 
participating organizations and donors to underwrite our work. Â In 
addition to our success locally in Washington, we also have seeds of 
traction nationally. Â A brave blogger in Palm Springs California 
challenged every city council candidate to participate in our program, 
and even tipped a race over:Â 
http://www.desertsun.com/story/news/politics/2014/09/22/craig-kelliher-indian-wells/16081117/

Thank you for helping to raise awareness, support, and participation in 
our mission to raise the bar of transparency and disclosure for all 
candidates. Â Please reach out if you have any questions or to discuss 
potential avenues of cooperation further.Â

Sincerely,Â

David Doud
Executive Director
