We look forward to hearing from you.

  • This is an excellent article. It needs to be widely distributed by some means as soon as possible. The fact that it is a year old means that those who read it, if not engaged in your suggestions, have forgotten it. I am sure that there are many good ways.

    One that comes to mind is through the DNC to their grass roots organizational coordinators. Another is to offer a free copy the next time you are on TV (if you can find a sponsor to publish it free). If that can't be arranged, then at least offer website set-up for that purpose alone.

    I am very impressed with your insight, intellegence, common sense and good judgment. We need people like you to run for high office.

    Are you going to endorse any of the current candidates? I ask, because I am concerned that none of them can see the problems clearly enough to instigate a proper resolution.

    Thank you for your excellent work.
