Imagine all American women and all Americans of color never again being the ignored minority.

Imagine standing up for who we're for rather than encouraging free press for what's against our common good.

Imagine rising in 2016 to a vantage point from which we can choose to relive our past, mourn our present or visualize our potential.

If we put aside the childish selfishness of anti-American organizations with intentionally deceiving ultra-patriotic sounding names like, Americans for Prosperity, American Crossroads and the Freedom Caucus -- then it is perhaps, the end of the beginning of the moneyed Koch Hydra (targeting The Middle Third), and all that are responsible for, nothing lasts forever.

Imagine, in September 2016, Foothill jocks, gently, laying orange roses at the feet of cheerleader Ashley Adamietz -- that's Exceptionalism.

The Sioux Nation includes nine Native American tribes like, the Dakota, Lakota and Nakota for whom the Dakotas were named, and home long before any paleface tourist visited The Badlands.

Dakota is the Sioux word for, friends or allies. Maybe that's why they didn't demand that new Spanish and English settlers speak Wampanoag.

In November 2016, even in Jamestown Virginia, we are the opportunity to stand up with our vote, to include all of the people in, We the People, all of the time.

However, we can begin right now wherever we are, by standing up for clean air and non-privatized lead-free public water - free of corporate ownership or municipal pollution.

Imagine reversing the, what is past is prologue of slavery, relocation centers, gender inequality and income disparity by standing up for all American families.

Imagine not

Eliminating Native American culture

Enslaving African-Americans

Encamping Asian-Americans

Enclosing LGBTQ Americans

Exiling Hispanic & Latino Americans
