The Our America Initiative is a 501c4 political advocacy committee formed by Gary Johnson, a Republican politician who served as the 29th Governor of the U.S. state of New Mexico from 1995 to 2003 [1]. The 501(c)(4) was created in December 2009, when Johnson hired stategist Ronald T. Nielson of NSON Opinion Strategy to help organize the 501c4 committee [2]. The two have worked together since 1993, when Nielson ran Johnson's successful gubernatorial campaign.

Gary Johnson currently serves as the Honorary Chairman for the Our America Initiative. The focus of the organization is to speak out on issues regarding topics such as government efficiency, lowering taxes, winning the war on drug abuse, protecting civil liberties, revitalizing the economy and promoting entrepreneurship and privatization.
