Our nation is at a key crossroads. The decisions of the next four years will set a direction that will set the stage for our nation’s revitalization or continued decline. Nearly everyone agrees it’s time for a fundamental change. But the change we need must be brilliant. For that we need wise leaders. Moral leaders. Visionary leaders. Instead we have questions. This is no time to have these questions. Our current financial mess is only one of many emergencies we must deal with in the next four years. We simply need a change that will re-enthrone our common interests over special interests.
We need ideals and ideas that are true to the objectives of the 1st American Revolution. This was the dream to create a society that fostered the greatest opportunity for happiness for all of us.
The greatest thing we can do as citizens right now is to speak our voice frequently…. every day…. to as many as we can. Get your friends involved. Get your colleagues involved. Get your family involved. We need to be the catalysts for change in this 4th American Revolution!
As we lead up to our November 4th election I am publishing a daily column in the Politics section of our new and improved ThoughtRocket blog, based on my book The 4th American Revolution, that puts forth practical ideas about how we might invest in our new future. You may not like all these ideas. That’s okay. I am trying to push beyond our current limitations. I am trying to stimulate a citizen debate to embolden our future President to bring about something so much more than the current empty debate seems to be taking us.
On behalf of all of you who are frequent readers and contributors to the American Dream Project blog, we will send every Congressman, and Senator, as well as the candidates for President and VP the daily “Revolution” blog with YOUR comments as you make them until election day, November 4th.
To receive the “Daily Revolution” by email you may Click Here to subscribe. We won’t blast you emails if you don’t request them. But if you do, we ask that you comment freely and frequently. You can also visit the Politics section of the new ThoughtRocket.com/blog site daily for each column.
Now is our time. Now is the time to raise our voices!
« Financial bailout? We Don’t Need the Crooks to Save Us
A major disappointment to me was watching the Senate vote on their “pork” version of the bailout legislation. All of our presidential candidates voted for it without exception, and including Clinton and Biden. Then McCain gets on TV this morning and is asked about all of the pork extras in the Senate version of the bill he voted for last night and says that that is why we need change in Washington. We could have started the change in Washington yesterday if both candidates had voted against the bill instead of for it. Comes back to my usual comment every four years when Presidential elections come up . . . are these the best two candidates we can come up with? We need a whole lot more than change, we need total transformation and I don’t think our two politician candidates have the guts and morals to take a stand against business as usual in Washington. It is like watching a bunch of addicts trying to cure each other of their addictions and you know it just isn’t going to happen.
I think it’s great everything you’re pushing for Will, and most of the things you post I agree with. In line with the spirit of having our voices heard frequently, I’d like to post the link to my new blog:

It’s not like most political blogs. It’s intended as commentary on our current political situation, and a discussion place for citizens to discuss what we can do
