Mission and Program Overview

Mission

To educate public officials, citizens and residents of the united states and the several states of the use of an interstate compact agreement and counterpart federal legislation to create durable and convenient legal frameworks within which to protect state sovereignty and individual freedom, such as agreements that coordinate the use of article v of the u.s. Constitution by state legislatures and the u.s. Congress to originate, propose and ratify constitutional amendments, tailor existing federal programs to local, state and regional needs, entrench government reforms (such as regulatory reform, spending limits and subsidy prohibitions), promote free market energy, transportation and resource policy, impose limits on the public policy making powers of agencies, and establish opt-in special district governance zones that apply state of the art regulatory, public service and fiscal policy best practices.
