What If There Were a Project 2026?
Liz Cheney challenges Democrats with A Remarkable Message.
As a registered independent voter, I pay attention to both parties in the news, podcasts, and streaming.
It is obvious the Democratic Party is a “ship without a rudder.” If the Democrats want my opinion, they need to create Project 2026 – clearly state who they represent, stand for, and don’t stand for, plans of action for creating a better world for tomorrow’s child, and save the United States and Planet Earth from destruction.
Project 2026 needs to commit to compassion for the most vulnerable among us and demand inclusivity. It needs to challenge elected officials to represent constituents and not corporations, oligarchs, and the wealthy.
Project 2026 needs to recognize our past ugly behavior and history, and demonstrate the need for change, including how to overcome white-male-heterosexual-Christian Nationalism. Turn shame into a promise to be better.
Project 2026 needs to draw inspiration from John F. Kennedy’s 1961 challenge to put a person on the moon by 1969. It needs to rally us to find common ground and commUNITY we experienced after 9/11. I want democracy and accountability, as outlined in the U.S. Constitution, to be a reason to get up in the morning and work towards. It needs to be based on love, giving hope rather than fear, and individualism.
Tuesday, June 24, 2025, NYC Democratic Primary shows a crack in the stodgy-old-white-man-elitist mentality plaguing the Democrats. It’s a start!
After attending and reflecting on an address to my DePauw 50th Class Reunion, I have concluded that if I could summarize in one word the description of the United States today, it would be lazy.
I am going to write a blog series, Are You Lazy? beginning with Are You Lazy at Critical Thinking?
I welcome your thoughts, suggestions, and ideas.
NOTE: Someone emailed me, “I love this idea! Where do we start?”
Let’s begin just as they did with Project 2025, in collaboration with the Heritage Foundation. We identify think tanks, such as the Brookings Institution, the Roosevelt Institute, and the Institute for Policy Studies, and reach out to them. Perhaps we start a letter, email, or phone call campaign!?
