Project 2025 is a Threat to our Freedoms, our Families & our Futures
Project 2025 is a blueprint for a far-right white Christian Nationalist agenda in a second Trump term. A coalition of over a hundred right-wing organizations, led by think tank The Heritage Foundation, researched, developed, and released a 920-page document that sets out the MAGA agenda for every aspect of Americans’ lives.
From sabotaging our elections to eliminating the resources we need for education, and from cutting Social Security and Medicare to dictating the religion we can practice. Project 2025 includes banning contraception and taking away our ...

Boarding Spaceship Earth in 1895, Buckminster Fuller arrived with very poor vision. This wasn’t realized and corrected until he was in boyhood. As an adult Fuller saw this as a blessing because it had trained him to naturally envision the larger picture – the synergetic whole. This led to the publishing of Fuller’s book, Operating Manual ...

Agenda47: a Platform for Disaster
“It’s We The People who’re being tested in this election – will we pursue the democratic values and progressive policies the great majority of us want for our children? Or will we fall into the egomaniacal autocracy and corporate kleptocracy that Trump is openly promising?” Jim Hightower, political commentator
Agenda47 is the policy platform for Trump's second administration. It is a case study in ridiculous bombast masquerading as a policy document. It is devoid of any serious, thoughtful policy proposals. Agenda47 is full of ridiculous, inaccurate statemen...
Inflation, Shrinkflation, and Greedflation. Economic Forces That Influence Consumer Prices
We all have been faced with noticeable price changes, especially at the grocery store, that have been blamed on inflation. Inflation, shrinkflation, and greedflation have all had a role to play.
Inflation is a “normal” economic principle where prices increase over time for consumer goods and services. This happens as the cost of raw materials increases because of scarcity, higher labor costs, war, etc. It’s usually measured annually. Shrinkflation is when a company decreases the size of a product – beverages, candy bars, bags of chips – but maintains the price ...

Democracy vs. Autocracy
Democracy vs. Autocracy
What do these terms really mean?
Defined by Webster’s dictionary, democracy is “a government by the people, usually through elected representation,” compared to autocracy, “government by a single, absolute ruler.”
Citizens choose candidates to appear on ballots through caucuses and primaries in democracies; and are elected through free, fair, secure, and non-fraudulent elections, followed by a peaceful transfer of power. In an autocracy, those in power choose candidates, often with pre-determined outcomes, and may refuse to ...
No Time for Games—Vote ‘No’ on State Constitutional Amendments
Did you know a big election is coming up this year? In November, of course! But there’s an election on August 13 that’s also important to your community and your future.
There are two questions on the August ballot which, if passed, will change the state constitution for the worse. I’m voting no on both questions, and I urge other voters throughout Wisconsin to do the same.
A yes vote on these constitutional amendment questions would give the legislature sole authority over the distribution of federal money. A yes vote would also take the governor out of the ...
