WHEREAS, Part of the founding principals of our Country was to protect the sovereignty of each individual
State and prevent a Central Federal Government from expanding to a point that diminishes the rights of
the individual States. It is important to remember that the power and authority of the Federal Government
is derived from permissions granted by the collective individual sovereign States that make up our
Republic.

WHEREAS, When the Federal Government fails to act responsibly and respectfully in the interest of the
sovereign States, it is the responsibility of the leaders of each sovereign State to rescind that authority
and protect the interest of that State. With respect to the boundaries and mineral rights of the submerged
lands surrounding the sovereign State of Florida, the Federal Government has failed to recover the God
provided resources to benefit our State and Country. Furthermore, the United States Senate has openly
denied any revenue sharing to the sovereign State of Florida for minerals recovered from the submerged
lands that surround our State.

WHEREAS, The Submerged Lands Act of 1953 was enacted for the sole purpose of returning the mineral
rights of the submerged lands back to the Coastal Sovereign States. In that act, boundaries were set
based on the individual sovereign States boundaries at the time that they were admitted to the Union. A
wise United States Congress, acting in the spirit of our founding documents, also included a provision in
the submerged lands act that “Any claim heretofore or hereafter asserted either by constitutional
provision, statute or otherwise, indicating the intent of a State so to extend its boundaries is hereby
approved and confirmed, without prejudice to its claim, if any it has, that its boundaries extend beyond
that line.”

WHEREAS, On May 22, 1953, President Dwight D. Eisenhower said after signing the bill into law “ I am
pleased to sign this measure into law recognizing the ancient rights of the States in the submerged
lands within their historic boundaries. As I have said many times I deplore and I will always resist federal
encroachment upon rights and affairs of the States. Recognizing the States' claim to these lands is in
keeping with basic principles of honesty and fair play.”

WHEREAS,  Technology has evolved since 1953 making more of the submerged lands accessible to the
safe recovery of the minerals. The Federal Government has failed to recover these minerals that were
put on this Earth for the good of mankind, providing employment and revenue for the citizens of the
Sovereign State of Florida and protecting the security of our Republic.

 NOW, THEREFORE, I, CHARLIE CRIST, as Governor of Florida, in obedience to my solemn constitutional
duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, and pursuant to the Constitution and the laws of the
State of Florida, do hereby promulgate the following Executive Order, to take immediate effect:

Section 1. In keeping with the basic principles of honesty and fair play, that I, the Governor of the
Sovereign State of Florida, do hereby claim the submerged lands surrounding the Sovereign State of
Florida out to a distance of 125 miles, except when that boundary would interfere with another sovereign
Nation or State at which point it would be half of the distance to that sovereign Nation or State.

Section 2. Any existing leases within those boundaries shall be honored with the exception that the
revenues paid to the Federal Government shall now be paid to the State of Florida.

Section 3. The Florida Legislature shall decide on future mineral recovery and revenue sharing.

Section 4. The Florida Legislature shall establish a trust for the purpose of withholding revenues that
would normally be shared with the Federal Government to be dispersed directly to Interior Sovereign
States as the Florida Legislature sees fit.

Section 5.   In the interest of protecting the beaches of our State, no mineral recovery shall take place
within the first 25 miles from the coastline.

Section 6. All state agencies departments under the direction of the Governor are hereby directed, and all
other state agencies are hereby requested, to assist those carrying out the directions in this Executive
Order.

"Freedom Favors the Bold"






On October 9, 2009, Don Baldauf met with Governor Charlie Crist in Tampa while attending
a dinner. Don explained the opportunities that could be gained by the State by asserting it's
rights under "The Submerged Lands Act" and how an executive order could enact those
rights. The Governor was very interested and asked Don to set up a meeting so he could
learn more details. The Governor even stopped to shake hands with Don on his way out of
the dinner and again asked him to be sure he called to set up that meeting.

After several calls Don was told the Governor could not fit him into his schedule and was
directed to talk to Kathy Mears. It was a good conversation and Kathy asked Don to submit a
proposed executive order. That proposal was passed on and Kathy stated she passed it to
the legal department but no response as of yet.

Below is a copy of that proposal. Please call Kathy Mears at 850-488-7146 or e-mail her at
Kathy.Mears@MyFlorida.com and ask the Governor to sign this executive order.

Thank you for your support.

OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR
EXECUTIVE ORDER
NUMBER 09 –
Establishing Immediate Actions To Extend The State Of Florida Coastal Boundaries In The Submerged
Lands Surrounding The State Of Florida
On December 21 ,2009, Marco Rubio, Candidate for The United States Senate, spoke with
Captain Matt Bruce on "The Captains America Show" on WSRQ in Sarasota, Florida,
about the Executive Order you see below.

By Don Baldauf

       On the heels of “Climate – Gate” we find ourselves lied to again by
scientists. I have always had a pretty good B.S. detector and since I was a kid I
knew something didn’t smell right about the whole “fossil fuel, oil comes from
dinosaurs, etc” theory. Even Sinclair Oil Corporation has a Dinosaur in its
logo. If you go to www.SinclairOil.com   you will even see a picture of a little girl
holding a blow up Sinclair dinosaur. I think his name is Dino.

       My first sign that something just wasn’t right was when I was growing up
in Western Pennsylvania. We had an oil well about 100 feet from the back door
of our house. From the time of my earliest childhood memories until I
graduated from high school and moved on, Mr. Eckstein, the man that owned
the well, pumped oil from it 8 hours a day, 6 days a week.

       I remember in school, the teacher telling us about fossil fuels and how oil
came from dinosaurs and plants rotting. I wanted to know, how many
dinosaurs died in my back yard? To my estimation, Mr. Eckstein must be
pumping out about a dinosaur a day! That’s a lot of dinosaurs! Was Saudi
Arabia the center of the dinosaur world?

       I seem to remember also seeing a film in school about some archeologists
recovering actual dinosaur bones. They carefully brushed the dirt away from
the fossils. At the end of the film, the teacher asked if we had questions. I
asked “why didn’t they find oil around the dinosaur?” I must have been such a
pain to have as a student.

       So here I am, many, many, (sigh) many years later, and that fossil fuel idea
is still not setting well with me. I have a friend from the Ukraine and he knew I
was interested in oil. He said to me one day (insert Ukrainian accent here) “You
Americans are so funny with your oil comes from dinosaur stuff”. With a
different perspective from him, I set off to find the truth. The most valuable
thing I was taught in school was how to learn, something I think is missing in
education now, but that is a whole other article.

       If you want to find answers you first must know the right questions to ask.
I did a thing called “looking at history” first. Over the last 150 years, how much
oil did other countries produce? What I found interesting was that at the
beginning of WWI, Russia was in a pickle because they found themselves cut
off from the Middle East and could not get oil. Today, they produce more oil
than Saudi Arabia and supply us with 17 percent of our oil.

       Lucky for them, they had Dmitri Mendeleev in their history books. It’s OK, I
didn’t know who he was either, but what a brilliant man he was. He is best
known for his work on the “Periodic Table”, arranging 63 known elements into
a periodic table based on atomic mass, something he published in “Principles
of Chemistry” in 1869. To demonstrate how brilliant this guy was, where gaps
existed in the table he predicted new elements would be found and predicted
what their properties would be. He was correct and three of those elements
were found in his lifetime and had the same properties he predicted.  

       He also investigated the thermal expansion of liquids and studied the
nature and origin of petroleum. He didn’t buy the fossil fuel theory either. He
felt that the oil developed far beneath the Earth’s surface, in the “mantel”, an
area 45 to 90 miles deep under the surface that is very hot, has a very high
pressure of about 30,000 atmospheres and has a lot of gasses. This combines
to make hydro-carbons that push towards the surface, find the cracks in the
crust and pool up and cool down below the surface. If this correct then oil is
not a “fossil” fuel and it is a renewable energy source as the Earth is
constantly making this substance.

       To further back up this theory, several years ago a major oil company did a
joint project in Russia where they drilled to a depth of 10,000 feet and struck
oil. They took a sample and then kept drilling until the hit another pool at
22,000 feet. The samples from both were an identical match. This could only
happen if the oil was being pushed from inside the Earth to the surface.

       One more interesting thing, while we have been waiting for Saudi Arabia to
run out of oil, they have wells that have pumped 3 to 4 times as much oil out of
them than expected and show no signs of slowing down. It appears that the
wells keep re-filling. Wow, isn’t that odd.

       I think it is time to admit that our scientists have been telling us that the
Earth is flat and for some time now the Russians, the oil companies and most
of the rest of the world have known it is round.
