Dear Mr. Peterson, 

Thank you for having the courage and the conviction to expose the financial mismanagement of the federal government.   

May I suggest a major step on the solution side of this equation? 

We (TLC-Life-Center) have developed an economic transformation project that is  amazingly simple,  easy-to-implement, and has incredible potential.   It's  The New Corporate World Foundation's  Win-Win Business Structure    It's described in detail on one of our websites:  http://www.New-Corporate-World.info   

We request that you ask your team to examine our proposal so that you are confident that its potential is as we say it is, and then assist us in locating a corporation willing to be the first to actually put the suggested principles into action.

Thank you.   

Sincerely, 

Rev.  Robert E. Cote'

Filling the  Readership Void:    You cannot look to the government for anything, particularly for problem solutions.   They don't know how to solve problems.   As they presently function, they can't solve problems.  They are the problem. ²   "Resident" Bush and the present Congress are clearly demonstrating that at this very moment.

The Death of the American Republic:    If you examine the inner workings of and the financial fraud of the The Federal Reserve, ² you'll realize that America died in the middle of the night on December 22, 1913.    The killers dragged out the coffin when they destroyed the Social Security Trust Fund ² by stealing and spending its investment  money.   And they drove the last nails in the coffin when they orchestrated the assassinations of John and Robert Kennedy.   And John Lennon, John Denver and John Kennedy Jr. were the flowers on the grave of what used to be the American Republic of the people, by the people and for the people.    

Re-birthing America:    So if you expect anything to change, you will be required to step outside of the establishment -- outside of the status quo.   To fight those in power, or to expect them to change is a futile gesturing.   It's a waste of time and energy.   It's like trying to cure an alcoholic by giving him the key to the liquor cabinet.   

So if you expect anything to change, reach into what is commonly called the lunatic fringe. ²   Look for those with new and untested ideas. ²   Look for the innovators, the risk takers, the possibility thinkers. ²   

Look to the inspired young adults.   There you'll find ways of relating to the world that are completely foreign to those of us over sixty.   

Look into the existing corporate leadership.   There you'll find the one-in-a-hundred who is real and genuine.   You'll also find men and women who can and will, if given the opportunity, turn this world back into the "Garden of Eden."    

The other place to look is in any mirror.   It's going take men like you who have courage, conviction, tenacity, commitment, and the willingness to be like our Founding Fathers and  put your life on the line.   You already are one of the leaders.   Stop looking to government for leadership.   Just remember that you are a leader and not THE leader.    

"When Two or More. . . "   It doesn't take Einstein or Sherlock Holmes to figure out that cooperation is the key to success.   Neither is a genius mentality required to figure out that diversity is also a vital key.   Who else are you going to invite to be on your team?   

The team you shared the stage with August 21, 2008 are all distinguished, successful men.  Also keep in mind that they are all male, they are all over sixty,  they are all white, and they are all wealthy.   It's been decades since even one of the panel members has experienced anything even remotely close to the world of the disenfranchised.  

A touch of reality is in order:    Which one of you is willing to go out into the world with only the clothes on your back and live on minimum wages for two months.  Then you can show us how much of you minimum wage you deposited into you savings account.   Save for a rainy day.   Sure!   We'll start saving as soon as it stops raining.  

When a problem shows up and you say that someone out there is responsible and you tell them that they should change, you are turning those people off.   They are not about to change based on your analysis.  They simply stop listening to you.   

The other approach is to address the problem directly.   Restate the problem to the person using the feel/felt/found technique  -- (I know how you feel about ____ ..   I felt that way, too.  And then I found. . .)   I see that you are concerned about ____ .   I too was concerned about that.   And when I looked closely at ____  here's what I found. 

Here's an example:   

I know you are concerned about having a black skinned man as president of the United States.   I was also very concerned about that until I read a report of the latest scientific evidence about racial differences.   The evidence  indicates that all races are over 99.8 % identical.  (Check the exact number for the tenth of a percent.)    So then I started asking,  "What are the differences and what's causing those differences?   As it turns out, the differences between the races are a function of the education, economic opportunity, the physical context of the person childhood , the culture conditioning, and other environmental factors.   Other than racial bigotry, non of this has anything to do with skin color.  

So now when I look a Barack Obama, I look at what his values are and not what color his skin is.   Here's what I found:  

I see a dedicated, intelligent, dynamic leader whose skin happens to be a different color than mine.   I see the gift from God that has been sent to us to pull us out of the era of stagnation, destruction, war, and poverty.   I see opportunity knocking at my door, and when I swing the door wide open, I see the love, the light and the gift from Creator that is standing on my doorstep.   

The economy and the environment both need a face lift.   Lets paint our faces green.   Perhaps we need a green president.  

I also remember the well-known quote from some famous person (I don't recall his/her name) who said,  "You can't fix a problem with the same tools you used to create it."  I wonder if this variation on that theme is correct:  "The people who crated our problems are not the ones who have the capacity fix them."   Do you suppose that applies to politicians?  

And how about this piece of wisdom:   There comes a time when grandpa should turn in his driver's license.   I wonder if that concept could be translated into the political arena.   And as long as we are on a role, how about this variation of a Biblical passage, "By their fruits you shall know them."   "You can know a politician by what he or she vote for.   And by the company they keep.   How many of you would invite Karl Rove, Tom Delay,   or "Resident bush to watch over your life savings.  

And when, without her permission,  I offered my wife as a contestant in a topless beauty contest about buffalo manure, she not so politely told me that my head up some unmentionable place where the sun doesn't shine.   But we can't talk like that in polite company.  But what is polite company, anyway?   Have you ever been in polite company after the company had gone home?   

Context:  Although deficit spending is a critical issue, it's also only one piece of a very large pie.   There are several other issues that must also be addressed.  We understand that Too Much Truth can undermine and destroy your chances of success, but there is one additional issue that must be an integral part of any proposed solution.  That issue is Global Climate Change.  

The Bottom Line:    Which one of the solutions mentioned in the film or by the panel is NOT a variation on an old theme   or  more of the same   or   the same thing harder?   Who else are you going to invite to be on your team?   What are you going to finance that has  not already been done?  

Here's something to consider:    If humans are going to Reverse Global Warming,²  The New Corporate World Foundation's  Win-Win Business Structure ²  is, by far, the best process yet proposed by anyone, anywhere.
