When I say movement I mean a non-partisan call for problems that plague America (social security, immigration, war, energy, etc.) to be solved quickly and effectively. A movement that people of all creeds and races can get behind. A movement of communication, compassion, and conscience. Would anyone want to join?

I think anyone that appreciates the potential of this country would gladly join in.  What you want to do is what politicians of every level should already be doing.  Instead of republicans being thick headed and thinking that they can change the world into one big happy family, and democrats criticizing everything but never having an alternative option or independent thought that isn't brought on by what the latest poll says they should do, they should be trying to solve the problems together.  No more fighting, time to get to work.  I think lots of people would want in on it.  Especially if it wasn't a forum for one side or another to bash the other, rather a way for people to come together with ideas and remedies to our problems.

I totally agree, not a chance.\nEach wants to be 'the' religion/race/country etc., and will never accept to be integrated with others.\npolitical correctness is already creating a backlash as people realize it has got stupid !\n*(Person hole ((manhole)) - Womb person ((woman))- Chair person ((chairman/chairwoman))etc., etc.)

Yes.  But the key to the future is "proportional representation."  Look for it online.  Instead of majority rule taking all, voters are guaranteed representation proportional to the membership of their party, similar to representation by state or district. \n\nVoter turnout increases when people's votes count toward representation no matter how big or small.  \n\nI believe in adding representation based on party affiliation.  So there could be a Senate with two reps per group, and a House based on reps per population or membership.  Since some people may be affiliated with more than one, any group or individual could propose legislation, but decisions would be based on consensus between all parties affected.  So you can legislate for your own party or district; but if legislation affects the greater public, it must be adopted by consent of those affected.\n\nThis would encourage direct participation and representation in government, and help to organize the population by party and by issue.  Policies based on common solutions would invite practical ideas and cooperative support, instead of campaigns that exploit emotions or media stereotypes to manipulate the vote, divide the public, and fuel conflict and debate over problems.\n\nThe government is not a failure but the population has outgrown the current system.  As a society we have developed the technology and communication to localize government and to organize by interest so that groups no longer need to compete for power.  Solutions will come from cooperation between groups. So that is where government is heading, based on expanding on the current model we have for checks and balances between the various branches and levels.

The latest vote that took over the House and Senate sent a big message to the politicians, and don't assume marches don't work. I  don't know if you were around during Viet Nam but marches did make a difference. It took time but they got the message. This has already gone on too long, so we can assume they are trying to figure a way out without losing face. Individually you write your congress person or Senator from you state and area. I have done that, make a copy of the letter and keep sending it off about every two to three weeks.

NOPE ... I think political activism is a good thing.  BUT I also think that if you want to be in this country (or any other country) you do so by doing it legally.  Doing things legally gets you protection and makes you a law abiding citizen instead of a criminal.

An intellectual & political movement in favor of political, economic & social conservatism that arose in opposition to the perceived liberalism of the 1960s.\n\nWas also started byintensely hawkish DEMOCRATS who bolted the Party in the late '60s/early '70s after the Party\nturned against the Vietnam War.

I hope the movement catches on. A person's heritage should not be allowed to be hijacked by others of the same ethnicity solely  for their own agenda. It gives anti illegal 'Hispanics' a louder voice in the matter.

There is a platform on gp.com.  In addition, they offer "10 key values."  They are: grassroots democracy, social justice, ecological concerns, non-violence, decentralization, economic justice, gender equality, respect for diversity, personal responsibility, and future focus and sustainability.\nAlso, on their website, they go issue by issue and state where they stand.

i do not have a political affiliation i never agree %100 with one so why should i follow them.  I think of my own ideas and believe what i would like.  The most important issue is national security and terrorism, because without our own security and having invaders, nothing else can ever be accomplished.

I hope we are not from the same country but i guess we have the same problem. When the people in your community will come to realize that their votes during election is not for sale maybe something can be done. You can make a difference by starting to fight for a cause not for your own vested interest but for the people.

There has to be some way to form a coalition group made of people representing both "white" society, and natives. With a good effort and a lot of luck (maybe even some good prayers) something has to be found.
