The time has come for a new politics and a new sense of patriotism that stretches beyond the nation to the planet, that embraces
more than one's fellow citizens to embrace humankind, that reaches beyond nationalism to a world patriotism: A Golden Rule
Patriotism.
Golden Rule Patriots! Roar to the powers that be:
Tear down this Wall of Conglomerate Power & Control! Consumers and small investors, farmers and employees: We are
Co-Investors and Economic Citizens of Corporate Enterprises! We invest careers, incomes, foodstuffs, savings, and pensions
in corporations. Demand Investment with Representation in Constitutional Corporations: Elect representatives to Corporate
Boards of Directors.
Tax investors, assert power to govern bureaucracy! Convene Citizens Juries of Accountability, boards comprised of taxpayers
and the people an agency is tasked to serve, to assert citizen oversight of each agency of government.
End Conglomerism's domination of government, the economy, and culture. Assert Freedom of Expression, New Laws of the Land,
Economic Liberty Amendments- Freedom of Economic Philosophy: The right of all persons to practice the economic philosophy
of their choice, a right mirroring Freedom of Religion. Equality of Rights for Free Enterprise: The right of all enterprises
to equality of treatment and equal enforcement of the law by government.
Manifest Fair Election Campaigns! Institute Equality of Media Access: Insure voters see all candidates: Ensure equal
media and ad space on the air and in print to every contending candidate on the ballot for each elective office.
Proclaim Patriotism disciplined by the Golden Rule: Respect yourself and respect others as you respect yourself. Patriotism,
actualized by Love of fellow human beings and of yourself, by Love of nation and of Earth, is the foundation for creating
peaceful, prosperous, and ecological civilizations.
