Rather than continuing to work with our distinct groups on each of these issues we need to integrate our work and action and unify under the banner of democracy. We must realize that we will never resolve the issues within the system as it now exists under the control of that economic elite. We must first reestablish a democracy before we can even hope to begin the discussions of how to resolve these issues in any meaningful way.

We need to make the journey back to sustainable sanity by first joining in overwhelming numbers to restore the democratic balance to this nation and recalibrate our compasses and gyroscopes to find our center of gravity and rediscover our natural balance.
