Our Democracy First is nearing its "real world" launch...

... and my role as launcher of said entity is to go out on the limb of trying to actually do, in my own small and humble way, what lots of people are calling for and saying is what we need to ever get the kind and depth and breadth of change we need for America the Beautiful to better live up to her/our/its potential to be a true beacon of:

• democracy, freedom, power in the hands of the many as opposed to the few etc.etc.
• reasonably equal opportunity structure and resultant access to: education, decent employment, health care, a safe environment to live and raise kids, and on and on and on...
• leadership in the world as the whole world has to move away from neo liberal globalization and toward undertaking the "Great Work" (with more than a nod to Thomas Berry's book of that title along with the rest of his thinking and life's work) of our epoch which is to find a way into our collective future that allows for the continued existance of humans on the planet along with the rest of the life forces on the planet along with us...
