Agenda

A vision-focused agenda of deregulation, and returning control of federal programs to the states.

Deregulation

We are advancing an agenda of deregulation that will lead to inspiring possibilities like faster and cheaper infrastructure and widespread wealth creation. Our focus is on Idaho-style regulatory overhaul, rather than repealing individual regulations.

Smaller Bureaucracies

We will reform and focus state bureaucracies with the goal of ensuring bureaucratic inertia never overshadows the will of elected representatives. In short, we will end the “deep-state.”

Reduced Federal Dependence

Minimize reliance on federal programs and ensure maximum state control over programs. A first step is to audit testing reliance on federal programs, as Utah has done.

Corporate Alignment

Stop subsidizing companies that hate you. Expose corporate welfare programs, especially handouts to woke multinational corporations, while building real, lasting, competitive advantages for states.

Anti-fragile solutions that minimize federal regulatory obstruction and increasing resilience.

Develop a model of “Better Than Delaware” corporate law.

Adopt anti-fragile solutions for key infrastructure which minimize Federal regulatory obstruction and increase resilience (e.g. a state led effort to shore up the power grid).

Advance economic models which properly account for the relationship between distance and risk.

Promote a historically accurate understanding of fiduciary duty which: 1. Rejects the globalist/socialist mindset endemic in the ESG era, and 2. Focuses on the economic interests of individual clients.

Develop policies and doctrines which undermine the foundations of ESG and DEI.

For instance, reforming Human Resources regulations to minimize regulatory complexity and ideological capture of corporations.

Americans’ pre-digital freedoms should fully and securely extend into the digital space.

SLI will further a platform which seeks to firmly defend the constitutional rights of individual rights of Americans in the digital world. We believe there is much work that can be done at the state level to protect Americans’ digital rights.

The rights we look to defend include the freedom to:

  • Transact using cryptocurrencies
  • Experiment with new digital platforms and institutions for licensing and credentialing in the trades, sciences, and academy
  • Use and share (via open source) any and all forms of encryption for any lawful purpose
  • Train and share machine learning models and code
  • Use privacy technologies, like internet traffic anonymizers, coin mixers, privacy coins, etc.
  • Develop and use decentralized p2p technologies for messaging, finance, storage, and compute
  • Own leading-edge GPUs, CPUs, and other powerful enabling hardware without a license or registration requirements
