Police Shootings: Law, Policy, and Accountability Learning from police shootings, such as what occurred in El Cajon, can lead to enlightened solutions and a commitment by the People and their Police to achieve a peaceful outcome. A thoughtful response may be more difficult to arrive at, accept, and implement than the simplistic commentaries being tossed out during the 24-hour news cycle, but it is essential if peace is to prevail in the Nation's communities.

The Right to Vote, Effectively The USVRA is far more than a set of constitutional amendments that would curtail these anti-democratic practices. Its ratification"-and the movement that forces it to happen"-would create a dramatic transformation of the United States government into finally becoming a true representative democracy.

Who Should Make Political Policy, the People or the Politicians? Given the opportunity, the American People are not only capable of charting their own future, but they are also smart, wise, and brave enough to seize the chance to do so. There is no alternative--the People of the United States of America will either take control of their own government, or their experiment in self government will ultimately fail.

Write-in Voting and Political Protest If America is to continue as a representative democracy, it must transform its government into one that actually represents and cares for those who elect it--rather than the corporations and financial elites who are now paying for election campaigns and bribing the candidates.

Confirming Supreme Court Justices and Electing Presidents Although history will record that congressional Republicans have opposed virtually every program advanced by Obama throughout his administration, including their very own health care plan, history also reveals what happened during a similarly contested election and "lame-duck" nomination of a Supreme Court justice shortly after the United States was founded.

The Scandal of Voter Suppression The scandal of voter suppression corrupts the core of representative democracy, and the quality and effectiveness of political representation is directly related to the percentage of voter participation. Unless representatives are selected by the greatest number and broadest range of voters possible, the processes of government will not reflect the true will of the People.

Statecraft vs. Politics As Usual Recognizing that partisan politics is not the same as statecraft, can anything be done to attract statesmen (gender neutral) to stand for elections, address the true issues, and to represent the interests of voters?

A Nuturing Society vs. Socialism If the title of this article began with "socialism," many readers would click past without reading it--even though a majority of Americans want a government that nurtures their families and society. The word "socialism" has taken on a negative meaning in the minds of most Americans. So, how does one define what the voters of the United States really want from their government
