   This website is about the injustices which burden our nation.

   Those injustices can overwhelm us, cause us to lose heart.

   They can make us wish for something better without 

        believing that it is possile to have someting better. 

    OR they can make us stand up and work for a better life.

    I might not be able to change the world. BUT I CAN

    CHANGE 

         the way I look at me

         the way is repond to difficult situations

         how I begin to see possibilities I never saw before.

    ONLY I can do that!

    The poster AND the website higlight

       WE not the government are responsible for our choices 

       WE not just the government need to spend our money

            wisely.

       WE need to re-evaluate what is really important.

       Solutions will come from simple not complex answers.

       Solutions will be local not global.

       Solutions will come from ordinary people like you and me

              (the 99%).

   Several years ago I founded a group called OPTION

                    Ordinary

          People

          Tunimg

          In

          On

          Need.

   Only now are ordinary people begiminning to understand

                that idea.

The website begins with an introduction. This introduction gives a basic overview of the site. It is essentially about a book Why We Are Always Broke. I wrote that book when I could not find answers to certain questions I was asking. I found that not only was I not finding answers to those questions, those questions were not even being asked. I also found that there are solutions. I became aware of the occupy movement, an international group asking many of the same questions I had been asking in my book. I also found others working for change. These groups were possible contacts.

There were questions which I found were not being asked. On those rare ocassions they were asked the proper answers were not being given. To see the questions which help form the book  hit  QUESTIONS
