This piece definitely inspires perseverance and creativity. It capitalizes on not a new idea, but the idea that what we have in this country is a work in progress; a metamorphosis that with each cycle changes the process by which we, collectively and individually contribute to for the benefit of all. Line upon line, precept upon precept, we continue to build and challenge the strength of our society. We can do this! We will do this!

I wrote The Dangerous Ones a very important letter explaining the need for We, the People, to declare ourselves a Constitutional Democracy. The majority want this over an autocracy. We will not ask permission. Our founders did not ask King George for permission. I am praying my letter is considered and responded to. The non-profit Heart Mind Alliance (.com) spent $30,000 to have a website developed and published (https://wethepeople.directvotedemocracy) where voting is underway on the First Question before the nation asking if the voter would prefer to live in a nation in which We, the People, govern. Every vote is encrypted by the Ethereum block chain. Every voter has a personal ledger to verify their vote was not only counted, but counted correctly. Once we are able to document (by any number of ways) that the majority of the people of this nation want self-rule, then we shall declare it so. I hope to hear from The Dangerous Ones at our email address heartmindalliance@gmail.com. Our non-profit is ready to fly me anywhere in the country to begin a dialogue regarding a declaration of inter-dependence. Move On (.org) has published our non-profit's call for the refounding of the USA: The Great Mandate; a compilation of 33 essential demands we can, as a nation vote on, which are critical for the establishment of a government of, by and for the People. People before profit. One can sign the Great Mandate and also read the comments of those who have signed it including the 13-year president of Habitat for Humanity the Rev Dr David Rowe and our nation's mahatma who worked with the Rev Martin Luther King Jr, David Hartsough and his wife Janet and many more conscious women and men we highly respect. Mandate number 26, for example, calls for transitioning all agriculture to organic, regenerative agriculture. The 250 billion dollars a year going to chemical agriculture must be redirected to revitalize our arable land, create millions of jobs needed for a more labor intensive agriculture, revitalize communities, increase the nutritional value of our produce, end the primary cause of immigration to our country, etc. We believe the only way to solve the climate crisis (See our You Tube videos at our channel Good News! Climate Crisis Solution) requires the removal of the climate crisis denier destroying any chances for a regenerative future unto the Seventh Generation.

There is much to discuss. Many opportunities are clarified in this time of crisis. On behalf of my grandchildren and their children I pray for a response to our plea.

Looking forward,

It is very discouraging and disingenuous to blame the left for the disinformation and propaganda machinery of the right. What we actually need to do is to find a language of common ground that enshrines the things Americans agree on, like living wages, universal healthcare for all, public education, freedom of speech, getting big money out of politics, enshrining voting rights and human rights, re-establishing the rule of law, having a reasonable path to citizenship and fair and humane immigration policies. How about recreating the notion of the commons? Reagon shredded that and privatization has been one of the worst scams perpetrated on the A erican people ever. We need economic democracy not socialism for the super rich. But keep blaming the "far left". That is every political hack's straw man.
