GOUSA® 5 Points of Opportunity
OppScore® from GOUSA it’s a non-partisan, universal, political credit rating based on Five Points of Opportunity.
These principles are constitutional, advance voter opportunity, and are supported by the vast majority of voters. OppScore stands with the American people on the issues that matter to the vast majority of voters…
America is the “Land of Opportunity” and Americans expect that their legislators are working to provide more opportunity for a better life – not to serve themselves and other interests at our expense. 4 out of 5 voters today believe that Politian’s are self-serving and unaccountable to the public.
Grand Opportunity USA wants to change this, we want to reward politicians for providing the most opportunity to the public and hold politicians accountable for stifling our opportunities. We do this by rating each politician’s policies with the 5 Points of Opportunity Star.
The Five Points of Opportunity Star
Personal | Economic | Social | Education | National
At GOUSA, we assembled the top issues that American voters are the most concerned about and separated them into Five Points of Opportunity that map to the five points in the GOUSA Opportunity Star.
We Follow the GOUSA Five-Point Opportunity Star
The system is based on GOUSA’s 5 Points of Opportunity as identified in the five-point star depicted above, “Personal Opportunity” at the top point, followed Economic, Social, Educational and National Opportunity.
Our political credit rating system rewards points to legislators and candidates who stand for the 5 Pro-Opportunity principles that are supported by the majority of voters – and to penalize them when they stand against these principles with negative Anti-Opportunity points.
The OppScore system ranges from -5.0 points (extreme Anti-Opportunity) to 0 (no Opportunity) up to +5.0 points (strong Pro-Opportunity). In GOUSA’s view, all politicians should achieve an OppScore of +3.0 points or higher, or be removed from office by the voters and replaced with a candidate who represents the People.

Areas of the Opportunity Star
1. Personal Opportunity
Representing “…Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness” and our Constitutional freedoms. Every other point depends on these truths. Without liberty, we have no freedom, no security, and no prosperity. We value life and support the 1st Amendment, 2nd Amendment and other Amendments to the Constitution, our personal privacy rights and states’ rights. We oppose the broad expansion of the federal government and its increasing use of unconstitutional power, political censorship and court packing. We will hold our elected officials accountable. This point sits prominently atop the five-point Opportunity Star.
