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.
