This blog is for anyone who cares about our country, democracy, and our planet.
People matter more than money.
No one is above the law
and the presidential immunity ruling must be overturned.
We value the differences among us, believe in the golden rule, and welcome the contributions of everyone with a loving heart:
It is vital to preserve:
- freedom,
- democracy,
- the safety, health, free speech, and opportunities of our friends and neighbors,
- health care,
- social security benefits for those who earned and need it
- the rule of law,
- fairness,
- having a solid and fair economy free from bribery, extortion, or the current unfair influence of the rich,
- public lands for all
- the environment
- FREE SPEECH
- FREE PRESS
- RIGHTS TO PROTEST
- DUE PROCESS
- and keeping the earth safe for all living beings.
As community member Jay Black recently described at a public meeting about knowledge, we share many common values.
A number of studies describe some fundamental
values in our American culture:
Independence
Education
Equality
Respect for Human Dignity
Democracy
Truth-telling
Tolerance
Loving kindness
Fairness
Family Security
Personal Freedom
Freedom from Personal Attack
Freedom of Expression
Responsibility
Justice
Respect for non-violence (do not harm the innocent)
Inner harmony
Self respect
Open mindedness
Stability/holding to the status quo
Americans share many common values. There is a belief in fairness, freedom, equal rights, and justice.
In a more perfect union we need to:
- Repair the separation of powers. Legislators must reassert their Congressonal power over all money, tariffs, and vital matters.
- They must do their job as legislators, and LISTEN TO THE PEOPLe that they serve instead of the rich DONORs to their campaigns.
- Pass legislation that protects every American’s right to vote, a value that is nearly universally shared.
- Enact campaign finance reform to greatly limit the power of corporation and the rich..
- Consider term and age limits for Members of Congress.
- Construct a system of truly independent redistricting.
- Institute national service initiatives.
