As admirable as the Founding Fathers' monumental achievement was, they were only patriotic men of their times — who had the GUTS to stand up and fight for their FREEDOM!

After years of arduous struggles, their efforts and strategies were able to put an end to the iniquitous situation under which Americans were subject to a despotic monarch and DEMOCRACY PREVAILED!

NOW, like our brave and patriotic Founding Fathers, we also need patriots who have the GUTS to stand up and do what is necessary to protect our FREEDOMS.

To challenge Americrats to emulate the Founding Fathers' valor and unyielding battle for our nascent nation's FREEDOMS!

Consistent with the aforesaid, this effort is intended to provide de facto or aspiring legislators and/or open-minded, dedicated and persevering Americrats with rational points of view and doable solutions.

To ensure the endurance of our FREEDOMS, we need Americrats who . . .

• know their own aspirations and motives
• are not willing to cower from threats or insults
• know the value of history as a source of knowledge
• are cognizant of their own limited experience
• are willing to accept a "heady challenge" and are willing to embrace new, rational ideas and solutions
• reach conclusions logically, not emotionally
• will not repeat the same old losing strategies
• understand that words alone WILL NOT save our FREEDOMS
• understand the relation between coexistense and Americracy — and how to achieve it

Accordingly, this writing is NOT meant to deprecate the personal views, attitudes or behavior of any particular individual or group; this would be counterproductive and WILL NOT help achieve Americracy.

When addressing The Others:

• DO: know that, due to their prejudices, political affiliation, etc.,
       immutably-minded individuals will never listen!
• DO: ask your listening audience about their issues and fears.
• DO: show empathy — acknowledge and assuage their fears.
• DO: address only common issues, e.g., tax reform, fair taxation,
       pocketbook issues, need for immigration reform, etc.
• DO: avoid so-called, "identity issues" and "red flag" words, e.g.,
       "progressive", "defund the police", Woke, etc.
• DO: when possible, befriend reasonable, influential individuals who
       are willing to listen and perhaps support our solutions.
• DO NOT: criticize others' views publicly — whether irrational or
       biased.
• DO NOT: give up!

As onerous a task as our suggestions might be, they can only help avert our democracy's abysmal trajectory toward its own downfall!

Changing minds and attitudes of "stay-at-home" voters — or individuals who vehemently disagree with our views — would be quite a challenge for Americrats.

Germane to the above said, knowledge of the factors that entice The Others to disagree with our views — e.g., prejudice, partisanship, self-interest, misinformation — and make self-defeating decisions, would be valuable "tools" to help "break the ice", i.e, be heard!
