We must be open to the possibility that obtaining this agreement is in front of us and merely requires activists seeking change to speak with their family and friends about the change that is needed and getting them to signal their agreement if they do agree. That agreement must focus on one document or statement that establishes this nation must reform the way political decisions are made so they reflect the will of the consenting governed and not the will of politicians, corporations or the wealthy few.
And we must be willing to take that document or statement to our family and friends and discuss it with them so they understand the change needed in this country, not in the particulars, but in the broad, visionary sense of working together to remedy the ills that afflict our state. We must be willing to talk with those around us without any sense of frustration, anger, or negativity regarding the current situation or past wrongs. We must be willing to engage the people we know in the civil discourse that enlightens, encourages, and endows them with a sense they are a part of the solution.
That is how we bring change to our political system.(Note: You can view every article as one long page if you sign up as an Advocate Member, or higher).
