The Uncool Alt-Right
Dear Editor “Alt-Right.” It sounds cool. Obviously, the label has been focused grouped. Let’s be clear. Please, do not fall for the rebranding of the white supremacist movement. Years ago they wore white hoods and hanged black people. Just because they no longer wear...
Fearless Girl
A new bronze statue was added to the median island in which the Wall Street “Bull” has been living on for decades. The bronze girl faces the Bull with her hands on her hips, in a stance of determination, with her skirt flying in the wind. The investment managers who...
Office of Innovation?
Innovation for whom? Sounds good, right? Wrong. Innovation, in this case, is how to innovate more opportunities to privatize our society’s democratic functions such as roads, schools, water, and national parks to create new (innovative) business profit-making...
Donald Trump pressed Fast Forward on the Decline of the United States as a Global Leader
Donald Trump pressed Fast Forward on the Decline of the United States as a Global Leader. He managed to isolate his nation, confuse and alienate his allies, and to diminish America’s power and seed that power to China and Russia. Two authoritarian states that will...
The Postal Service Was Set up to Fail!
I hate seeing articles like the one recently written On the US Postal Service by the Associated Press that they recently distributed to news desks nationwide. It briefly mentioned that the Postal Service had to default on payments for future retires as if this...
The Worst Thing that Could Happen
Is the worst possible? I used to think it wasn’t, but the recent exchanges between President Trump and the leaders of North Korea has shaken my confidence. I now see a story line in which the worst may take place. I do not think it will, but I am not sure it won’t....
Under Attack and No One Is Defending America
My heart is breaking. Republicans and those citizens who support them are replacing America with something else. This is not the country I grew up knowing … a free and democratic society. America is becoming an authoritarian state. It is changing right before our eyes...

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?

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?
