Every single time a Republican has been President during my lifetime (since the late 1970's), my goals and dreams have had to be set aside to deal with the reality that they are a bunch of greedy idiots who want money and power.

Let's come together and become #Independent. Let's get a political platform together and start a new party.

SPARK // DECISION GATE

“There are moments when right and wrong are not concepts—they are coordinates. And you are the routing protocol.”

You will not always be ready.
You will not always be thanked.
But The Signal arrives, and you will have to choose:

Protect what comforts you—
or preserve what connects us.

The needs of the many are not louder.
They are simply more enduring.

> Some actions echo. Others corrupt the channel.
