Purpose & Leadership

I founded the Dominican American Coalition Political Action Committee (DACPAC) to advance principled political engagement, economic opportunity, and institutional representation for Dominican Americans and allied communities within the United States.

DACPAC was established to operate lawfully, transparently, and in full compliance with U.S. election and governance standards, with a focus on policy, economic empowerment, and civic participation at the national level.

Governance & Accountability

In alignment with best practices for institutional integrity, DACPAC’s operations have been voluntarily paused while awaiting formal administrative clarification from the appropriate U.S. government authorities.

This decision reflects a commitment to:

• Regulatory compliance
• Responsible governance
• Long-term institutional credibility

Temporary suspension is a standard risk-management and governance action when operating at the intersection of politics, finance, and public influence.

In parallel, DACPAC helped initiate the Minority Economic Forum (MEF)—a minority-focused economic and financial platform designed to expand access to capital, education, and enterprise development.

MEF was progressing through formal nonprofit structuring when political pressure and external interference emerged. Rather than compromise the organization’s mission or integrity, I chose to prioritize independence, transparency, and personal accountability over expediency.

Neither DACPAC nor MEF exists to serve partisan agendas or external interests.
They exist to build durable economic institutions, advance lawful participation, and protect community credibility.

Principle Over Politics

I do not retreat under pressure.
I pause, assess, and restructure when necessary to protect long-term outcomes.

My work—across finance, policy, and economic development—has always been guided by:

• Rule of law
• Institutional discipline
• Ethical leadership
• Strategic patience

These principles remain unchanged.

Looking Forward

Political engagement, like capital formation, requires timing, structure, and discipline.

All future initiatives—political or economic—will continue to be executed with:
✔ Compliance
✔ Strategic clarity
✔ Institutional rigor
✔ Long-term national interest

I led one of the first large-scale, structured public dialogue initiatives in the United States addressing the complex and sensitive issues between Dominican and Haitian communities, including border policy, historical narratives, and the ongoing humanitarian crisis.

Over a sustained period of approximately 18 months, these forums evolved from highly charged exchanges into disciplined, moderated, and evidence-based discussions, bringing together members of both communities in a format grounded in facts, historical records, and international law.

More than 200,000 Haitian participants attended or engaged with these debates across live sessions and distributed forums—making it one of the largest cross-community political and historical dialogue efforts of its kind.

During these sessions, I presented documented historical, legal, and academic sources that directly challenged widely circulated inaccuracies held by certain political figures, commentators, and institutions. These discussions included contributions from politicians, historians, academics, and policy advocates, and resulted in formal institutional responses, including hundreds of petitions submitted to major academic institutions requesting review and correction of disputed material.

As is often the case when entrenched narratives are challenged, these efforts also generated organized political resistance and coordinated criticism from actors with pre-existing political agendas. Rather than retreat, I maintained a commitment to open discourse, factual rigor, and peaceful engagement, even in the face of external pressure.

This work demonstrated that courageous leadership is not about provocation, but about the willingness to:

• Host difficult conversations
• Confront misinformation with evidence
• Protect free dialogue across communities
• Absorb political pressure without abandoning principle

Progress requires courage—not silence.

Legal Standing, Sovereign Claims & International Protections

Dr. Richard Encarnación has initiated and maintained formal legal actions and sovereign claims across multiple jurisdictions, addressing matters of economic interference, civil and constitutional protections, intellectual property rights, and international treaty obligations.

These filings are part of a broader strategic legal framework focused on protecting sovereign interests, restoring economic rights, and asserting standing under applicable domestic and international legal mechanisms.

His legal matters have included proceedings and submissions involving:

🔹 The Kingdom of Spain — historical and contemporary sovereign and economic claims
🔹 The People’s Republic of China — allegations relating to economic interference and strategic disruption
🔹 International Intellectual Property Bodies (including WIPO) — digital sovereignty, authorship, and IP protection.

🔹 U.S. Federal Agencies (including DOJ & VA) — civil rights, whistleblower protections, and constitutional matters

These actions are substantive and ongoing, not symbolic. They form part of a long-term legal strategy involving asset protection, economic redress, and sovereign recognition frameworks, pursued through established legal and diplomatic channels.

To ensure transparency and compliance in all international engagements, Dr. Encarnación maintains formal registration and disclosure where required under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) and adheres to applicable U.S. and international compliance standards in matters involving foreign governments and cross-border advisory activity.

His legal positioning is informed by international human rights principles, including frameworks referenced under UN General Assembly Resolution 60/147, as well as historical, ecclesiastical, and customary legal doctrines where applicable.

This combination of:

• Active legal posture
• Military and public-service background
• Advanced academic training
• Cross-border economic and policy expertise

positions Dr. Encarnación as a rare practitioner operating at the intersection of law, sovereignty, economics, and international strategy.

Why ASE-PAC Was Created

ASE-PAC (American Strategic Economic PAC) was founded to advance a new era of U.S. economic strategy, sovereign protection, and institutional resilience in a rapidly shifting global landscape.

Amid rising geopolitical tensions, foreign economic interference, domestic policy failures, and widening inequality across minority and diaspora communities, it became clear that America needed a new strategic platform—one focused on economic sovereignty, capital protection, and national competitiveness.

The Mission Behind ASE-PAC

ASE-PAC was created to:

🔹 Protect America’s economic interests against global market manipulation, foreign influence, and asymmetric financial threats.
🔹 Support sovereign families and American-born economic stakeholders whose generational assets and intellectual property are exposed to exploitation.
🔹 Advance policy frameworks that strengthen U.S. competitiveness in finance, trade, energy, manufacturing, and AI-driven industry.
🔹 Provide political and economic representation for Caribbean-American, Hispanic, African-American, and underserved communities who historically lacked institutional access to capital.
🔹 Mobilize structured capital for economic development, minority enterprise growth, and national strategic industries.

Alignment With the Sovereign Gold Platform (SGP)

ASE-PAC works in direct alignment with the Sovereign Gold Platform, a strategic economic framework built to:

🔹 Strengthen U.S. financial stability against BRICS-aligned strategies
🔹 Support gold-backed liquidity for institutional and national development
🔹 Rebuild the American manufacturing, energy, and AI-driven infrastructure corridor
🔹 Reinforce sovereign economic security across the United States and Caribbean region

Sub-Entities & National Impact

ASE-PAC strategically operates alongside:

🔹 DACPAC (Dominican American Coalition PAC) – Advancing economic, political, and civil empowerment for Dominican-American communities.
🔹 MEF (Minority Economic Forum) – Mobilizing capital, policy reform, and financial education for minority populations nationwide.

A New Movement in American Economic Leadership

ASE-PAC is not a traditional PAC.
It is a strategic institution, built to:

✔ Anchor U.S. economic sovereignty
✔ Protect generational assets
✔ Combat exploitation & economic discrimination
✔ Drive capital into underserved communities
✔ Shape the next era of American and global economic power

ASE-PAC exists to defend, develop, and deploy economic strength, policy innovation, and sovereign protection for the benefit of the nation, its allies, and its historically marginalized citizens.
