Appeal to as many people as possible, crossing traditional political lines

This is number 2 of the five actions.

I have grandchildren. Actually I do not "have" them. They have come into the world, and they are young and vulnerable to so many things.  What I want is for them is to express the fully human and to explore their unique gifts in a society where life is revered and creativity enjoyed.

To that end I will give to the world what it has given me - an opportunity to thrive. My politics wants all life to thrive as much as possible.

My politics arises out of nature within my self and within the world. I want to applaud and encourage whatever expresses nourishment, whatever is good, inspiring, and supportive of good health.

I don't want an ideology for this - I just want to live it.

I trust the next generation will strive to learn and live to the best of their ability in a world that is beyond my imagination. I want to witness the development of the creative human spirit.

Fire fighters, medical professionals, political leaders, military personnel, economic experts, religious leaders, have enriched my life and I anticipate they will enrich the lives of my grandchildren.

So labels such as White, Christian, Left Wing, Socialist, do not define me or my friends and family.  My needs are based on being part of the human family that is dependant on a clean planet with clean air and water.

Here is what I am not:  a gender, a race, a religion, or a job description.

Budgets, taxes, education, health - are ways to support life not to create units of the GDP.  Hierarchy is about organizing energy for the benefit of all, not to create measures of worth between organized classes.

My ancestors came from Africa just like everyone else.  Their DNA still lives and breathes in my DNA. They are still with me - I don't need to label them or identify them.  What matters is the covenant I have with all life on this planet to nurture  the physical, spiritual and mental health of us all.

What can we imagine for the future? What would we like to see happen?

What makes you afraid and what makes you hopeful? What do you need to be engaged with others?

This is basis of my political duty.
