Message to Obama

I am suggesting that everyone contribute a few minutes of Social Justice Tithing Time to raise questions that encourage President to consider the bottom-up Capital Homesteading alternative to the traditional trickle-down solutions to every one of the subject areas in which citizen inputs are requested. It's also important to mention CESJ and its website for details, especially the summary of the Capital Homestead Act.

Here's something I just composed that can give people some ideas on one of the major issues — universal health care — that reflects the need for changing the trickle-down economic system to a bottom-up approach to growing the economy in ways that would empower all citizens through Capital Homesteading:
Mr. President, have you or your team studied "The Citizens' Plan for Healing America's Health Care System"? It was developed by the Center for Economic and Social Justice (CESJ) and the Coalition for Capital Homesteading? You can read a summary at www.cesj.org.

This plan agrees with your goal that every American can and should have access to quality comprehensive and affordable health care, and with a radical reduction in administrative and regulatory costs and maximum control over health care decisions. It will encourage health maintenance delivery systems jointly-owned by providers and consumers as well as stakeholder-owned health insurance cooperatives to compete with the Big-Six health insurers, thereby lowering premiums costs. We strongly believe your goal can best be achieved through a more just, more democratic and more productive market-disciplined economy.

But this will require a new vision, a new framework and specific changes to Federal tax laws and monetary and credit policies of the Federal Reserve System. Universal health care cannot be achieved without a systemic bottom-up solution to America's current financial meltdown that also addresses our already unsustainable Federal debt for entitlements of $500,000 for each American household.

This new framework (called "Capital Homesteading for Every Citizen") would accelerate green growth in the productive economy, do so without inflation, create millions of new private sector job incomes, leave more incomes in people's pockets to pay for their own health and living needs, provide health care vouchers for the poor, eliminate budget deficits, and, as a fundamental right of citizenship, empower all citizens with equal access to future ownership of productive capital and capital incomes.

Mr. President, we support your commitment to change. We hope you and the Congress will seriously study and adopt the Citizens' Plan for healing and overcoming the ills of the present health care system.
I hope that our network will respond to this challenge. Capital Homesteading is the only strategy around that can achieve the original American Dream for every man, woman and child. Each one who has that knowledge has a personal responsibility to help make the current system more just.
