The People's Platform: We are all in the same boat

Visit BlueNovember.Org to read The People's Platform: We are all in the same boat.

The People's Platform includes twenty statements demanding new directions in American politics. The platform addresses our individual needs and collective responsibilities.

The truth is that our fate is sealed with those with whom we share a community. And, now, in the twenty-first century, our communities start locally but also reach around the planet.

Not many of us can be insulated from the effects of our neighbor's fate. And, although the greediest among us may ignore the needs of our fellow humans, most of us would not trade our visceral shared experience for their insensate ignorant bliss.

The People's Platform calls on us all to restore the values inherent in our democratic ideals with the hopeful language of community and respect.
