Wisconsin’s Best Days Are Yet to Come
January 1, 2011 in Optimism
There is reason to be optimistic about the future of our state. We have remarkable opportunities in front of us. Although there are many issues and political problems to deal with, each problem also represents an opportunity to make a change for the better in our society.
The federal government’s rampant militarism is an opportunity for the people of Wisconsin to take the moral high ground and take actions that will lead to a more peaceful world.
The systemic corruption of our monetary system provides us the opportunity to seriously debate the fundamentals of our economy and ask profound questions about monetary control. We have the opportunity to return power over money to the people, for the benefit of all, rather than allowing well connected insiders to continue stealing from everyone.
On every issue, from abusive domestic surveillance policies and the loss of our civil liberties to corporate backed legislation that threatens small business and small farms, our problems are opportunities to define the type of society we want to have.
There will be no magic solution from Washington to all of our issues. Our system was never meant to be administered by an all-powerful central government. It is time for people to put “self-governance” into practice and restore the local control and balance of power that made our nation great. This is our greatest opportunity.
The creativity and resourcefulness of the human spirit is nearly endless. Every day people are realizing that solutions will ultimately come from ourselves and that those solutions are both tangible and feasible. Each individual can have a significant impact. It is time for bold steps, both in our personal lives and in our state and local governments, that lead to a more free, peaceful and prosperous future for Wisconsin while providing a positive example to the rest of the nation.
WisconsinRepublic.org will continue to promote education and discussion about these issues and work for locally acountable government in Wisconsin. We welcome you to join us. With people increasingly dedicated to honest and locally accountable government, Wisconsin’s future is bright indeed.
