It’s here! And it’s happening now!

We The People: It’s time to get empowered!

​

Today, the internet empowers people to take direct action and make a difference in the world. Across our nation, individual power is rapidly increasing as the internet continues to reach more people each day. This is powerful. It is very powerful. And it is having incredible political ramifications.

​

No longer do traditional power brokers and broadcast media pundits dominate the mainstream political discourse. No longer do conventional party hacks supersede taxpayers' concerns to suit their own self-serving agendas. And no longer is direct access to power an exclusive process that is entirely controlled by the politically connected. Today, they are all remnants of past machine politics. Today, we are all politically connected!

​

Now that power is ubiquitous, opportunities abound for self-organization, grassroots, and local collaboration that create communities focused on issues directly affecting their interests. The political DINOs and RINOs are dismayed. They no longer have dominance. They are losing power. Democracy can thrive, and the will of the people can prevail.

​

The destiny of community prosperity is now in the hands of concerned citizens and activists everywhere. Such amazing developments are compelling people to take direct action. You’ve got to take action! Either become empowered to participate in the political process and have prosperity, or remain complacent and be coerced to subsist in the deliberately distracting discourse of contemporary politics. It’s up to us! Yes, it’s up to us!

​

The economic implications are immense. Wall Street and corporate America are booming. To prosper, everyone is compelled to invest in the stock market. Wealth is exponentially increasing for the very few at the top. It is being hoarded through inequity and coercion. Yet, these political ramifications have been ongoing since the 1970s. And it's getting worse. And everyone interested in political power is obsessed with how technology is constantly reshaping the political landscape. It is inspiring, overwhelming, and incredible!

​

Yet, still, the balance of power will primarily benefit those who empower themselves with the civic resources necessary to organize like-minded citizens and take direct action. That’s the aim of this website. Please explore its contents so that you too, can become empowered
