A friend suggested that I use this page for the time being to share what it is like to write a book by telling my story. Two and a half years ago, my mother was ill, and I started thinking about her childhood and how the people whose duty it was to protect her did so...

The Velvet Coup Is Happening To You

When the Czech Republic broke away from the Soviet Union, they called the event their Velvet Revolution because no shots were fired. My thesis is that America has experienced a Velvet Coup because no shots were fired and that corporations, the billionaires who own...

Who Is Afraid of Your Vote?

There are numerous political, religious, industry and ideological forces (PRIIF) in the country that not only don’t want you to vote, but they never want you to vote again, ever. They do everything they can to make the process miserable, both physically and mentally....

We’ve Been Robbed

We’ve Been Robbed

It is my view that when “We, the People” actually understand what we have lost, we will fight to get what was stolen back. If you have experienced being robbed, you know the sick feeling in the pit of your stomach. You are shocked that this personal violation happened...

Privatizing Everything

Privatizing Everything

The country’s infrastructure is crumbling everywhere. There is plenty of money in America to fix this problem, but it is held only in a few hands. The amazing and sorry fact is that one-tenth of one percent (0.01%) owns as much wealth as 90 percent of the country. Our...

The Truth Is Still Putting on Its Shoes

Years ago, maybe fifteen or so, I realized that the corporate media had abandoned real news. This revelation came to me when The News Hour on NPR shifted from analyzing stories and asking profound questions in their interviews to merely inviting two talking heads to...

Universal What?

Universal What?

There is a new branding phrase of which we all need to be aware: Universal Access, but first, some background. An overwhelming majority of Americans want the security and affordability of a Universal Health Care System (as it has been called) as all the other...

An Amazon Hot New Release! This may be the most important presidential election in America’s history

Starting Jan. 21, We Must Practice Peak-Citizenship

 

 

In a functioning democracy, the government is dependent upon citizenship. In a non-functioning democracy, it will depend on Peak-Citizenship.

It is no longer enough to think that voting is all citizens need to do (and too many of us don’t even to that). From this point forward, what we have done in the past as citizens to participate in and guide our country will no longer be enough. Reclaiming our democracy will require peak-citizenship.

All we have left as We the People, is our citizenship, the strength of our convictions, and the force of our character manifested by performing at our peak as a citizen in the United States of America. What actions can we take?

2017 Indiebook Award Winner

America Abandoned, The Secret Velvet Coup That Cost Us Our Democracy recently won an international 2017 New Generation Indie Book Finalist Award in the “Current Events/Social Change” category!!

2017 Best Book Awards Finalist

Bold-Citizenship Activism Ideas

Did you see the last election coming?

America Abandoned explains what happened and how the corporations and billionaires took over America. Our democracy has been stolen. Greedy, dishonorable thieves stole it while we trusted them and they abandoned us. A powerful moment in our lives happens when we first realize we have lost something, especially something of great value. We are stunned. We feel empty inside.

We feel betrayed. We want it back. When we realize our loss, we hope to remedy it, to get that thing back, and only then will we take immediate action to make that happen. Absence really does make the heart grow fonder, as the old cliché says; sometimes we have to lose something before we can understand its value. We’ve lost our democracy. Want to get it back?
