WHAT CAN YOU DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY?

HARD-WORKING AMERICANS DON'T DESERVE WHAT'S HAPPENED TO THEM.


WHAT CAN BE DONE?


AS THE PEOPLE SUFFER, AND SINK INTO DESPAIR, SO DOES THE NATION.


SHOULD I DO NOTHING? --SHOULD YOU?


SHALL WE TOGETHER  LET OUR GREAT SHIP OF STATE SINK, WITHOUT A FIGHT?


IN NORWAY, I REMEMBER THE NORWEGIANS SAYING THEY BROUGHT IN AMERICAN OIL COMPANIES AND AMERICAN LABOR BECAUSE "AMERICANS WILL WORK THEMSELVES TO DEATH FOR US."

FOR QUITE  A WHILE, THE RICH HAVE BEEN GETTING RICHER, AND THE MIDDLE CLASS HAS BEEN CRUSHED UNDER A HEAVY WORKLOAD THAT THEY ACCEPT SO THEY DON'T BECOME UNEMPLOYED.

FROM A DISTANCE, LIVING OVERSEAS, I'VE BEEN ABLE TO THINK ABOUT WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING, WITH PERHAPS MORE CLARITY THAN MY COUNTRYMEN AND WOMEN.

OUR PEOPLE ARE BEING CRIPPLED.

THE LIST OF PROBLEMS IS ENORMOUS.

 FEAR, DISAPPOINTMENT, CORRUPTION.
 LOST JOBS,LOST HOMES, LOST HEALTH.
 LOST WEALTH.
HYPNOTIC TV SHOWS AND VIDEO GAMES, "ME FIRST," AND SELFISHNESS RULE THE YOUNG.
LOST FAITH AND LOST TRUST IN GOD --- AND IN EACH OTHER--

WE ENDURE AN AMAZING LEVEL OF VIOLENCE.
WE SUFFER FROM INFERIOR FOOD, EXPENSIVE MEDICAL AND DENTAL CARE,  WITH NO SAFE WAY TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS WITHOUT GETTING TAGGED AS AN "EXTREMIST."

OUR RIGHTS ARE BEING SYSTEMATICALLY LIMITED.

FREE SPEECH IS FETTERED.

WE HELPLESSLY WATCH THE FEDERAL RESERVE DESTROY THE DOLLAR.
NOBODY SEEMS TO REMEMBER THAT JOHN F.KENNEDY PRINTED "UNITED STATES NOTES."  (BUT THAT HELPED GET HIM KILLED)

WE HELPLESSLY WATCH AS ENDLESS WARS SUCK ALL THE FIGHT OUT OF US AND RUIN OUR ECONOMY.

WE HELPLESSLY WATCH AS GOOD PEOPLE LOSE JOBS AND GOOD PEOPLE'S HOMES GET REPOSSESSED.

HELPING YOUR COUNTRY IS HELPING YOURSELF.

SO WHAT CAN YOU DO THAT WON'T LABEL YOU  'AN EXTREMIST'?
