About UsIowa Free State began as a vision to revive the fundamental freedoms and principles left to us by the founders of America. Our mission is to empower all 99 counties of Iowa to become de jure self-governing entities, embracing minimal oversight, reduced regulation, and the protection of God-given rights.
Our vision extends beyond governance—it’s about restoring neighborly bonds and community spirit that foster health, wealth, and family unity. We believe in a society where individuals freely raise and educate their children without undue interference, embracing true academic education.
Founded on the enduring values enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, we champion a future anchored in liberty, responsibility, and faith.
Join us in this meaningful journey to reclaim America’s foundational principles and bring them to life in every Iowa community.
