THE COUP TO DESTROY THE AMERICAN DREAM
Within the core of our freedoms, lie the avenues powerful individuals use to take away the rights of citizens and the controls of government designed and evolved to serve all. Americans are now aware of the reality that subversive forces have made excessive headway in destroying our rights. What has been allowed is the incursion…

Did You Miss The Celebration?
Those who are celebrating do not intend to represent our communities. In the primary elections, big money from outside – called Dark Money – succeeded in blocking community interests. Take the future of our public schools for example. By positioning themselves for a win in the general election, they can put in place a plan…

Splintering And Shattering Our Communities
There are forces at work that are so destructive they can shatter the hopes and dreams of our citizens and splinter our communities.

Billionaires Bypass Accountability and Democracy
The super rich are more privileged than the rest of us as they do not have to have their ideologies examined by the people. They do not have to be elected before they force changes. If they believe that our public schools should be destroyed, they destroy them. If they believe that educated and certified…
