Senator XXXXX,
Are you willing to take a leap of courage, faith, and vision?
Are you willing to challenge Americans to reach higher?
Are you willing to lead America to a higher purpose?
If so...
a few ideas:
1)Mission/Vision/Values for America
If co-created by "We The People", this could inspire, unite, and empower ALL Americans like never before.
2) WeNeedaDream.org
Offers many ideas to unite and inspire enemies on a shared vision, a higher purpose, a new American Dream... towards Heaven on Earth.
3) Nonviolent Communication
I've seen this process transmute "impossible" conflicts into win-win harmony.
4)America's Higher Purpose
Few Americans are aware of the higher (and spiritual) purpose behind the founding of this nation. You could champion a return to this purpose. More info in the attached paper.
5) Soul of America
A deeper perspective of who we are
6) Partnership Way
Possibilities for shifting our exhausted dominator paradigm to an energized partnership paradigm
7) Conscious Evolution
A higher perspective of what's happening
Yes, we can...
Carl Landsness

"And so, my fellow Americans:
ask not what your country can do for you,
ask what you can do for your country.
My fellow citizens of the world:
ask not what America will do for you,
but what together we can do for the freedom of man."

Is it possible to inspire and unite enemies on a shared vision? Once inspired, I believe the means (and magic) can appear... and obstacles disappear. "Imagination is more important than knowledge" according to Einstein.
Such inspiration usually comes from crisis. Can we collectively choose a more elegant, less painful path?
Most successful organizations rely on a mission/vision/values statement.
Is it time for nations and partnerships to create such?
The process alone could inspire and unite people like never before...
if powered BY THE PEOPLE
and leads to an empowered tactical plan (like a business plan).
Left-brain drivers like missions.
Right-brain creatives love visions.
Passionate seekers embrace values.
Synergized, they can transcend differences and weave dimensions
(i.e. transmute our exhausted dominator paradigm to an energized partnership paradigm... with the power of intention, heart, and action)
A rather idealistic approach is in [link]
A more grounded approach is in [link]
Is this a path to peace, power, and fulfillment?
Is our current lack of mission/vision/values statements a cause of our chaos?
Are you willing ponder this?

Shine thy good, America
Where has our light gone, America?
Where has our good gone?
IS it gone?
Or just changing?
What do we seek?
What do we long for?
Are we hurting?
Are YOU hurting?
Will we choose the higher path?
The harder path?
Or will we succomb to blame, fear, and despair?
What IS the higher path?
Does it HAVE to be harder?
Are we willing to question?
Everything we've believed?
If so...
Some possibilities are in WeNeedaDream.org
Some tools are in Center for Nonviolent Communication
Some hidden history re the Constitution is in the attached paper.
Some background re the higher purpose of this nation is in:
America's Secret Destiny
Forgotten Founders

And some inspiration is below:

when I make friends of them?"

"Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat,
for it is momentary."
Franklin…
"Search others for their virtues,
thyself for thy vices."

"The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with which we created them."
Buddha…
"Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love"

ask what you can do for your country.
My fellow citizens of the world:
ask not what America will do for you,
but what together we can do for the freedom of man."
Shine thy good, America

I wish to follow my "Easter Tears" poem with an "Easter Hope" poem. It is part of a dream and quest that emerged out of my despair. The complete dream will be unveiled in a new website later this month.
While initially targetting a single nation, it is intended to help our entire world transmute our worst nightmares into the dream of all time.
May it give you hope,
love,
and resurrection. More >
