Any and all the gloom and doom we have experienced over the last forty years has come from the risks Americans have not taken. The political parties are not out of control, they are in their zone. A zone, which allowed them to have all the say in what we do, what we can be, and where to take our nation.

Politicians take the rope we give them, and unless we restrict their activities and their influence, they will hang us with them. While I believe one party is much more at fault than the other in pushing us faster in the wrong direction, the system is set up to do what it is doing. Our problem is we have asked too much, and too little of it. More importantly, we have not asked enough of ourselves.

Shit, I have not asked enough of my own self! Yet when I thought too much about me being part of the problem, I would sink deep into the first half of this essay’s headline. So I ask anyone who has failed like I have to shed those failures, remove the doom, desperation, dark clouds, etc.… to begin anew, and move onto the daring-do!

.

Part of what I dared to do is come up with a platform to redistribute power. This is We The People power; or citizens and workers unite power…
