Governor Gary Johnson, Honorary Chairman of OUR America Initiative, to Release ‘Three Point Plan for Economic Prosperity’ at National Press Event in Washington, D.C.

February 3, 2010, Los Angeles — Gary Johnson, former Governor of New Mexico and Honorary Chairman of the OUR America Initiative, said today during his trip through Southern California that a “Three Point Plan for Economic Prosperity” will be unveiled Tuesday, February 9, 2010, at 6:00 PM at a special press event in Washington, D.C., at the office of the Reason Foundation, 1747 Connecticut Avenue NW.  Governor Johnson has been meeting with top national economists from around the country to discuss this plan.

“We believe we have adopted a plan to bring America’s economy into long-term prosperity,” Johnson stated.  “This would include cutting expenditures, cutting taxes and shrinking the Federal involvement in the economy.”

Governor Johnson has also been meeting with citizens to discuss public policies and ideas that put people before politics, focusing heavily on getting the economy back on track and creating jobs. “Based on discussions with the people we have been meeting, as well as my own governing experience and significant research with economic experts, we have developed an initial outline of common sense approaches to begin to renew our economy,” Johnson stated. “I look forward to presenting this outline to the public, and to continuing the public dialogue regarding lower taxes and reducing our deficits.”

In the coming weeks, Governor Johnson will continue his tour of America, with visits and speaking engagements scheduled in Washington State, Portland, OR, Washington DC, and Lansing, MI. “The launch of the OUR America Initiative is providing opportunities for individual citizens to take part in meaningful public discussion on the future of our country,” he said. “The need for honest dialogue about the economy in America is significant. As I look at the public debate I don’t see ideas being presented that are going to going to solve the current problems and provide for long term prosperity. What we need is a new direction.”
