Let's think ahead to 2016

People Finally United?

When the Earth becomes too poisoned to support human life, all of our other differences, big and small, will suddenly seem trivial.

If every day more citizens of the USA are unable to earn a dependable living, unable to feed their children a proper, nourishing diet and provide for their education, unable to afford healthcare and housing for their families, then We, The People, must unite to impose our solutions upon our “leaders”.
For if we do not unite to restore and detoxify this planet, we will certainly be united in our extinction.


Idea for President

This idea is intended to make our country stronger, our employment more certain, our people healthier, to reduce our need for healthcare, and to begin to return our environment to a state where it does not sicken us and can sustain all life forever.

We cannot change the needs of the environment to adapt to the needs of the economy. When our environmental safety is at odds with our economic safety, we must begin to transform our economic needs to adapt to the needs of the environment.

United States Life Corps
The centerpiece of the Idea is the creation of a new, national volunteer service, independent of the military but based on a similar model of discipline and chain-of-command. But this service will be devoted to teaching and demonstrating the theory and technique of sustainable, poison-free farming, and to repairing our damaged environment.
It will provide a way a person can perform service for their country that is based on a different, but no less important sort of national security.

The point is to create an opportunity to bring back the local family farm in circumstances where it can work again, and to train some recruits to do the work necessary to make a start toward environmental restoration.

I suggest we call it the United States Life Corps.

Resource Recovery
The establishment of the U.S. Life Corps is a way to make a first step on so many necessary changes in how we treat our world.

In this time of war I frequently hear our officials saying that the resources of Iraq belong to the Iraqi people. It stands to reason, then, that the resources of the U.S. belong to the American people.
This is a first step toward Americans rolling up our sleeves and taking back our country and our environment, our atmosphere and our food and our health from the corporate structure that has gradually co-opted and undermined it all, for money.
It is a start for people from all parties and philosophies to temporarily set aside our less immediate differences in order to make our work security, our food security, our water security, our health security, our environmental security, our atmospheric security, and our families’ security our top priorities right now.

And any politician who won’t sign on to help us do this must be sent packing.

And the corporations must be put on notice that they can no longer bribe our politicians to betray us.

Corporate use of American resources will once again be at the discretion of We, The People.
