I recently created the initiative “We-thePeople2024” after working several COVID years researching a vast amount of diverse data with the intention of writing a book about sustainability of America institutions which are quickly imploding. Areas of concern were income inequality, the Climate Change Crisis and the breakdown of our political system. Then I realized that writing a book would not have the impact needed to make dynamic changes in our problematic nation.
Clearly, the critical November 2024 election is the avenue of possible dynamic change. Impacting election results is substantially more powerful than a book. Thus, I have decided to use my unique background/analytical skills and knowledge from my research to assist an untapped powerful force in America … that is the “working class”! Government by the working class can make dynamic changes we desperately need. And the Democratic Party is the only political party whose priorities protect and enhance the working class in America. There must be an allegiance between the working class, Democrats and government.
Government and Democracy are the core essential elements of any civilized society. Attack/undermine/destroy government, what is left but chaos, misery and further power by the rich. Republicans have been undermining government since President Reagan and now they added Democracy to their attacks. That must end on November 5, 2024. Hopefully, the economic renaissance of the working class can then begin!
Plan of Action
I would like to present my strategy to the National Democratic Party and Political Action Committees and the power brokers that can influence the election strategy. I fear the current strategy will end in mixed results/split tickets in leadership in government. In essence the status quo on steroids since dynamic action is desperately needed in America considering the existential threats to America.
■ Define, enhance and promote the Democratic Party ASAP. The party has popular policy priorities, but the public doesn’t know it especially among younger voters. The November election must be about the choice of a political party to govern. The choice can only be the Democratic party that embrace government and the working class. Voters must vote for EVERY Democrat on the ballot to give them the “governing power” to legislate major changes that protect the working class, planet earth, the fundamental rights of all females and Democracy.
