WHAT WE ARE

The Ohio Liberty Coalition is a movement of citizens bound by one conviction: government must be restrained.

We exist to place iron handcuffs on the Federal, State, County, and Municipal governments—shackling their ability to tax without end and to spend without limit. For too long, bureaucrats have treated your labor as their property, your earnings as their piggy bank, and your children’s future as collateral for their schemes.

We fight not only the excess of taxation and spending, but the greater evil: government interference in the free market. Every subsidy, every regulation, every backroom deal is a perversion of liberty, a distortion that punishes the producer and rewards the politically connected. We will end the creation of perverse incentives that bastardize the mechanics of capitalism and destroy the freedom to innovate, build, and prosper.

But our mission is not only for today. It is for tomorrow. We pledge to defend the minds of future generations against indoctrination—the poisonous misperception that a bloated, centralized government is a blessing rather than a curse. We have a special eye toward education, demanding schools that teach rugged individualism, personal responsibility, and the dignity of self-reliance—not obedience to the state.

And because government has entangled itself so deeply in our healthcare system—burdening it with inefficiency, injustice, and delay—we seek to restore medicine to private hands. We envision a system of care born from the free market and strengthened by faith-based charities, where compassion is genuine, innovation is unleashed, and patients are treated as human beings, not as statistics in a bureaucrat’s ledger.

We are the Ohio Liberty Coalition. We are the counterweight to government excess, the voice of liberty in a sea of coercion, and the defenders of a future where free men and women live unshackled.

WHAT WE ARE NOT

We know our lane, and we intend to stay in it. The Ohio Liberty Coalition is not a Second Amendment organization. We are not a pro-life organization. There are already dedicated groups doing excellent work in those areas, and we will not dilute their impact by duplicating their efforts.

We are not a Religious Rights organization. We are not a “marriage is between a man and a woman” organization. We are not an election-verification organization. While our members may have strong personal convictions on these issues, our mission is narrower: to limit the scope and power of government. Our resources and bandwidth are limited, and discipline demands focus.

That does not mean we exist in isolation. Sometimes these issues overlap. For example, we are not a Second Amendment group—but when gun-control legislation threatens liberty through government overreach, it becomes part of our fight. In those moments, we will work in harmony with allies, not in competition with them.

Just as organizations fighting to abolish property tax and income tax are natural partners in the cause of limiting government, we aim to support and enhance the efforts of others without losing sight of our mission. We believe the coalition is stronger when each group plays to its strengths.

We are laser-focused on limiting government—its taxation, its spending, its interference in the free market, its bloated monopolies. That is our mandate, and we will not be distracted from it.

MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS

Every organization that joins the Ohio Liberty Coalition must share a common thread: building public support for limiting government. This is not optional. It is the lifeblood of our cause.

• At every meeting, member organizations must include a “Limited Government Report.”

  • At a minimum, this report should inform members of current efforts at the state level to limit government taxation, spending, and regulatory power.

  • Ideally, it should also spotlight local and regional efforts, connecting grassroots members with the larger statewide struggle.

• Each member group is strongly encouraged to establish a Limited Government Committee within their organization.

  • These committees should lead local action, coordinate with regional allies, and report back on initiatives, victories, and challenges.

  • Their work will become part of a statewide picture, allowing the Coalition to gather intelligence, share strategies, and report on activities across Ohio.

• Through this structure, the Coalition ensures that every meeting becomes an opportunity to educate, mobilize, and grow public support for the mission of limited government.

This isn’t busywork—it is discipline. It keeps every member organization aligned, informed, and active in the fight. By reporting, sharing, and amplifying each other’s efforts, we turn isolated battles into a coordinated campaign for liberty.
