ing” positions reflect the input of many who have taken the time to submit them to our convention directors. Please know that all governing positions, including leadership roles are open to nomination and election as part of the first moments of the opening in Olathe, Kansas.

We have operated with volunteers who have been willing to do the most difficult job of trying to organize and move forward this great effort with nothing but hope and prayer from the onset. We all must be very grateful to those who have given quietly and with no reward except hard work and the knowledge that they were helping begin a mighty movement toward restoring America to the “land of the free.” This is our best opening effort.

2. No restriction on types of firearms, ammunition, magazine capacity or technology accessories.

The platform will remain open at this point to accommodate other relevant areas for summit consideration. Obviously, not every aspect of citizen life should be enumerated or regulated. We have far too much of that as it is. There will certainly be areas in agriculture, industry, schooling, state and local government that will be open to great change and reduction in the smothering environment that currently exist. In some cases, regulations and entire bureaucratic agencies should be entirely eradicated. Others should be streamlined greatly and some perhaps left somewhat intact. However, this should remain a statement of “Bedrock Principals” not subject to compromise once it is agreed upon and voted into being. Less government, better government. We want all candidates running with our support to sign a contract stipulating that they will honor this final platform as long as they operate under the oath of office at any level of government service.

This is our start. We hope you will be inspired to make this opening charter far better than it is in its present form. If you plan on coming to the summit, please do your homework so that valuable time may be used in refining and agreeing upon this document for Americans weary of socialist America and the Internationalization of our great land. Thanks so much for helping us get this historic effort underway. God Bless You, America, but we can expect that only when we have agreed to honor God and follow the ideals and prayers of our original founders and take Jesus Christ into our hearts and lives.
