His followers on various social media platforms total well over 1 million individuals. Organization:
In addition to the Honorary Chairman, Governor Johnson, OAI will have an “Advisory Board” of nationally-known leaders known for their advocacy of common sense policies and government reform. Planning is underway for a nation-wide tour of 25-30 college campuses at which Governor Johnson and other national figures will speak to students about issues of particular concern to young Americans. Johnson is very well-received among college students, and campus events consistently generate extensive and positive news coverage. Through op-eds, white papers and other publications, OAI will, on a nonpartisan basis, strive to promote innovative and bold approaches to issues ranging from government spending and taxes to privacy, drug policy reform and foreign policy. Input for such policy statements and proposals will be drawn from a broad spectrum of policy experts, as well as recognized political leaders. Utilizing earned media, technology and social media networking, OAI will continue to build an extensive database of activists across the nation who can be mobilized to positively encourage policies to enhance economic freedom, reduce the size and cost of government, and restore individual liberty.
