What is The Issue.us??? What is the root 'cure' for what is unfolding?

This year is the first year that I have registered to vote, I was looking forward to participating and playing the game of politics. But, seeing reality so clearly leaves me un-empowered. My nine year old son Makiah is excited to vote, so I am giving him my vote. He says, "children matter"..USA ranks 20th in child well being with the worlds richest democracies, USA has the second worst child poverty rate (after Mexico) among 26 of the richest countries, 2 million children have an incarcerated parent ( women in prison has gone up 900% since 1980..we have 5% of the worlds population 25% of the prison population of the world) 13 million children living in poverty, while ranking last in the G7 countries in infant mortality and life expectancy while spending 2X-3X more on health spending per capita, while early head start programs serve 1 in 20 of those eligible, 13 million children living in poverty ....this is the crime of our culture.

I am pledging to help Makiah declare war on this subhuman culture, pledging to help Makiah to address the root causes of the ultimate needs of children in America, pledging Makiah to place the "Makiah Bill" before the House, Senate and President when they all return to work in 2009.

Giving Makiah.com my vote has given me hope. Hope that 99% of the population knows the top priority of our culture and knows how to co-create and co-design a system based on the ultimate assets of oneself.

It is raining in Iowa today, a sad day. Washing away the illusions of culture...washing away old belief systems of reality...washing away greed, corruption and ignorance...while looking forward to seeing 'Makiah's Bill' co-creating and co-designing a foundation of a new culture, based on the ultimate health of the child.
