Small seeds can grow into something huge and vibrant,
as can our political movement
Many examples in history exist where political movements started small, grew, and succeeded in achieving its goals of major public policy changes.
Too many Americans have lost hope that our political and economic systems can well serve the majority because they have been captured by an elite who will not yield their power to serve themselves at the expense of everyone else. Rampant extreme pessimism is creating self-fulfilling prophecies of continued social decline. For anyone hopeless, here is information that can contribute to creating hope that you likely have not considered. It involves arithmetic and simple algebra: The Viral Spread of Ideas (Excel file) The Viral Spread of Ideas (PDF)
Eventually, it will likely be necessary to form a new political party. 62% of Americans believe a third major party is needed, the highest the Gallup polling organization has ever measured. Both major political parties are serving the country poorly.
Essential to The Peaceful Revolution are Your Demands of Your Representative
Sample Script for You to Modify to Demand the Public Policies of Our Political Movement that You Most Favor be Instituted:
No good reason exists for the conditions where over 40 million Americans live in poverty and the middle class is shrinking while a small elite’s wealth booms. 400 American’s wealth is valued at $4.5 trillion, which is more than the total wealth of the least wealthy 63% of American households or about 212 million Americans—an obscene level of inequality. In the wealthiest nation in history, 38.3 million are food insecure and between 600,000 and over 1.5 million people are homeless.
Wealth, income, and power has been concentrating into a small elite during both Democratic and Republican administrations and Congresses for over 40 years and the rate of growth in inequality between this elite and everyone else is increasing.
Congress is continuing to fail to meet the needs or represent the will of the majority of Americans on issues of fundamental importance. No policy proposed by Congressman/woman (name of your representative) or considered by Congress to solve our extreme economic and political inequality problems is adequate. This is no longer acceptable.
[Then select some policies you consider most important from The New Enlightenment or Amazon as Metaphor for your advocacy. If any are among those detailed or summarized on this website, include a link. If they are not, contact us, and we will send you a PDF of the policy to forward to your representative.]
We must institute these robust solutions to our extreme economic and political inequalities. I will only support candidates that work to institute these policies, and I will work to oppose any who do not. Please contact me with the decision of Congressman/woman (name of your representative) on whether he/she will work to institute these policies. Thank you.
