Virtually all peoples of all nations have always been dominated by
individuals or cliques which obtained power and wealth because they were
obsessed with obtaining power and wealth. This power actually is the
aggregation of the freedom they usurped from each member of the society.
This wealth actually is the sum of the earnings they stole from each
member of the society.
The people of The United States have always been the subjects of an
oligarchy (a government controlled by a few people). If they were per-
mitted a genuine democracy, the malignant cancer that afflicts our society
would fade in the wake of a sweeping transformation bringing real hope
and exhilarating possibilities for our people and for the peoples of
the world.
I am appealing to those who are already convinced that our Earth and
and it's populations are in grave trouble --- to those who are already

convinced that a "participative democracy" would replace the corrupt
politicians' greed with the people's interests in conducting the affairs
of a nation belonging to it's people; the affairs of a world belonging
to everyone.
