Restore Constitutional Government Where It Matters Most — At Home
Across America, citizens are increasingly concerned about the expansion of government power through executive orders, administrative regulations, emergency mandates, legislation, surveillance technologies, and other government actions that may exceed constitutional limits or threaten individual liberty.
The COVID-19 emergency demonstrated how quickly government power can expand during a crisis—and how important it is for citizens and local officials to understand the Constitution before the next crisis occurs.
The Constitutional County Plan provides a practical strategy for doing exactly that.
Our mission is simple:
Educate. Organize. Act Locally. Protect Liberty.
We are building county-based teams throughout Florida that bring citizens and local officials together to strengthen constitutional government and protect the God-given rights recognized and secured by the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Why the County?
Our constitutional system divides governmental power among different branches and levels of government for an important reason: concentrated power threatens liberty.
County government is the level of government closest to the people.
County Commissioners, Sheriffs, local courts, Supervisors of Elections, municipal officials, and engaged citizens each have important—and distinct—roles in maintaining accountable government.
The Constitutional County initiative seeks to educate citizens and officials about those roles and establish lawful local mechanisms for responding when government action threatens constitutionally protected rights.
The objective is not simply to declare a county "constitutional."
The objective is to create a functioning culture of constitutional government and accountability.
From Resolutions to Enforceable Protections
Florida already has a strong foundation.
Over the years, numerous Florida counties have adopted Second Amendment sanctuary resolutions, Bill of Rights resolutions, proclamations, or ordinances expressing their commitment to constitutional rights.
But a resolution is primarily a statement of policy.
An ordinance can establish actual county law, procedures, responsibilities, and enforcement mechanisms within the limits of lawful county authority.
That is why the next phase of the Constitutional County movement focuses on helping counties move beyond symbolic declarations toward carefully drafted constitutional protection ordinances and meaningful systems of accountability.
The Collier County Model
One of the most important developments occurred in Collier County, Florida, where the County Commission adopted a Bill of Rights Sanctuary County Ordinance.
The ordinance was built in part around the constitutional anti-commandeering principle—the principle that the federal government generally cannot require state or local governments to use their personnel and resources to administer or enforce a federal regulatory program.
The Collier County experience demonstrated something equally important:
Ordinary citizens can organize, educate their elected officials, overcome opposition, and successfully bring constitutional protections before county government.
The lessons learned in Collier County have helped provide a foundation for the Constitutional County strategy now being developed throughout Florida.
The Four Pillars of a Constitutional County
A truly effective Constitutional County requires more than an ordinance.
It requires constitutional leadership throughout local government.
1. County Commissioners
Establish Constitutional Policy & Accountability
County Commissioners exercise lawful county authority to adopt ordinances, establish policy, protect local interests, and ensure county resources are used consistently with applicable constitutional and legal requirements.
2. County Sheriff
Protect the People & Enforce the Law
The Sheriff is an independently elected constitutional officer with significant responsibilities for law enforcement and public safety.
A Constitutional County encourages Sheriffs to understand the constitutional limits of government authority and to protect the rights of the people while faithfully carrying out their lawful duties.
3. Local Judiciary
Protect Due Process & the Rule of Law
An independent judiciary provides the lawful forum for resolving disputes, protecting due process, reviewing government action, and applying constitutional and statutory law.
Judges should interpret and apply the law impartially rather than substitute personal or political preferences for the law.
4. Supervisor of Elections
Protect Election Integrity
Free government depends upon elections the public can trust.
The Constitutional County strategy encourages lawful safeguards, transparency, accurate voter rolls, secure election procedures, public oversight, and accountability throughout the election process.
Two Strategies — One Goal
Not every Florida county is politically or organizationally ready to adopt a Constitutional County Ordinance today.
That is why our 2026 strategy provides two paths forward.
FAST TRACK
For Counties Ready to Act
Where constitutional support already exists among citizens, Commissioners, the Sheriff, and other community leaders:
Build the Team → Educate Officials → Introduce the Ordinance → Mobilize Citizens → Pass It
County teams meet individually with elected officials, provide model ordinances and supporting materials, build public support, and organize citizens to participate in County Commission hearings.
THE LONG GAME
Build the Foundation First
Where the votes or public support do not yet exist, we don't give up.
We build the base.
County teams develop relationships throughout the community, including:
Each team establishes measurable two-year and four-year goals designed to educate the community, develop constitutional leadership, and create the foundation necessary for lasting change.
Constitutional Interposition & Lawful Non-Cooperation
The Constitutional County strategy is influenced by the historic concept of interposition—the idea that government officials have responsibilities within their lawful authority to protect the people they serve.
In modern constitutional law, one particularly important protection is the anti-commandeering doctrine.
U.S. Supreme Court decisions including New York v. United States, Printz v. United States, and Murphy v. NCAA recognize limits on the federal government's ability to command state and local governments to administer or enforce federal regulatory programs.
This does not mean a county can simply declare every state or federal law it dislikes invalid.
Rather, Constitutional County strategies should operate within lawful county authority by emphasizing:
The goal is to defend constitutional liberty while respecting the constitutional structure and rule of law we seek to preserve.
The Constitutional County Is More Than an Ordinance
Passing an ordinance is only the beginning.
A successful Constitutional County should establish an ongoing process for:
Our vision extends beyond any single county.
We are building a statewide network of Constitutional County Teams that can:
When citizens organize locally, individual county efforts can become a statewide movement.
Act Locally. Make a Difference Nationally.
Start a Constitutional County Team
You do not have to wait for someone else to begin.
Step 1
Gather three or four committed citizens.
Step 2
Assess the constitutional and political climate of your county.
Step 3
Meet your Sheriff and County Commissioners.
Step 4
Educate your community.
Step 5
Determine whether your county is ready for the Fast Track or requires the Long Game.
Step 6
Use our model ordinances, presentations, petitions, educational materials, and county strategies to begin building your campaign.
Join the Constitutional Revival
The future of constitutional government will not be determined in Washington alone.
It will also be determined in our counties, cities, churches, schools, courtrooms, Sheriff's offices, election offices—and ultimately in the hearts and minds of We the People.
Freedom requires more than believing in the Constitution.
It requires understanding it.
Defending it.
And having the courage to act when it matters.
What is God calling you to do at such a time as this?
Join us. Build your county team. Defend liberty. Restore constitutional government—one county at a time.
