Libertarian Gore-Tex Heiress Fuels Hidden Political Donations - Gregory Nickerson, WyoFile:
April 28, 2015 - "Susan Gore is arguably Wyoming’s most influential libertarian promoter....
"Since 2008, Gore has founded and financed three non-profit organizations that seek to reshape Wyoming politics and loosen restrictions on campaign spending nationwide. These include the Wyoming Liberty Group, Republic Free Choice, and the Pillar of Law Institute....
"Gore, a resident of Cheyenne, has lived in Wyoming for almost 20 years. Her Wyoming roots go back three generations in the southwest part of the state. She came to Wyoming in the mid-1990s after living for more than a decade in a transcendental meditation community in Fairfield, Iowa. Before that she lived in Delaware and Vermont.... And in Wyoming, she seems to have found her niche as a promoter of conservative-libertarian ideas....
"According to the Wyoming Liberty Group website, '[Susan Gore’s] aim is to ensure that the power of the people and individuals in Wyoming takes precedence over improper government presumptions of authority'....
"'The reason I started this was because I wanted to live in a place where I had better quality of life,' Gore told Bold Republic Radio. 'I didn’t want to see us overwhelmed by too much government, too many regulations, a loss of our culture'....
"The Wyoming Liberty Group opposes federal involvement in healthcare and education. It champions a free-market philosophy of privatization, where government ideally would stay out of areas where it believes private business can do a better job....
"The Wyoming Liberty Group is part of a nationwide organization called the State Policy Network, founded in 1991. The organization has think-tank chapters in all 50 states, and receives money from a sophisticated network of donors.
"Susan Gore told the Casper Star-Tribune in 2010 she founded the Wyoming Liberty Group after her brother David W. Gore formed a similar organization called the Cascade Policy Institute in Oregon, also a State Policy Network affiliate.
"Susan Gore provides the majority of financial support to the organizations through her family wealth,... IRS documents from 2008-2012 show Gore — and one other unlisted donor — provided more than 75 percent of the group’s $4.3 million in funding up to that time."
