Dear Folks,
When will we as a people wake up? Women came out of their slumber in the late l9th century and early 20th and gained the vote. Slowly, feminine power and consciousness is improving human life on every count. In the l950s and l960s blacks led by Martin L King awakened a nation to know their just needs. Blacks led by Obama are helping all of us awaken to everyon 's potential.
Now something more grounded and profound must happen for every human being in the United States. We must become united with a common voice that cries out in publications, on our streets and corporate and government offices: "WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF CORPORATE POWER; TOGETHER AS A NATION OF CITIZENS WE WILL WITH OUR COLLECTIVE MIGHT BRING YOU DOWN NON-VIOLENTLY."
Consider these fact:
Consider the significance of the world "economy" especially in the light of our environmental concern. I recently learned from one of our wise Power Politics persons, Gus Wilhelmy, that both economy and ecology (nature as one entity) come from the same root,the Greek "oikos" and "eco," both of which, according to Webster's, means "house," "settlement," "village." We are born into a cosmic family, the universe and we live in one of her units, "mother earth" or "Gaia" as the Greeks call her. We all live in this earthly home, " which we must love as well as practically care for in an "oikonomic" way.
When and how will each of us rise to this challenge. Start at least by calling Congressional leaders, Go to www.contactingthecongress.org John G

Consider these fact:
- That an entire Republican party is in the wealthy pockets of corporations.
- Note that no matter what we know as practical and wise behaviors and policies are being thwarted by corporate power. For example, the Dobbs-Frank Law that helps control financial excesses and the bill's most important aspect, the Consumer Protection Agency are being seriously compromised by corporate lawyers and lobbyists.
- Consider that even the massacre of 27 people including 20 children in Sandy Hook Elementary School is not moving Congress to institute a meaningful gun control because of the power of not just the NRA but especially by the gun manufacturers of which the NRA is their puppet.
- Consider that the most important issue confronting our nation and the world is the environmental danger, which if not attended to in the next couple years with significant controls and manufacturing innovations will overshadow all of the above concerns. Mighty power by the very companies who create this problem, particularly the oil companies that are the wealthiest entities in the history of humankind are fighting these necessary changes.
- Consider finally that the only political entity in the present western political world that does not believe that humankind is responsible for global warming is our Republican party.
