Strong, Wise and Good Foreign Policy

It’s time to reexamine our nation’s “foreign entanglements.”  Our founders knew our best defense was a strong civil society and a productive economy.  What if we spend some of our defense dollars on providing worldwide education to global citizens in dozens of languages to promote tolerance, self-reliance, collaboration, integrity, and the thirst for learning in an effort to reduce worldwide violence?  Then what if we modeled these virtues?  As long as we depend on oil from tyrants and money from communist dictators (China) our foreign policy will never be wise or good leaving us weak and vulnerable. Our greatest export should not be weapons but rather noble, inspiring leadership.  We need to stand for more than global materialism and a high tech military.  We need to be the future of civilization.

This is our agenda.  And now we need you.  We need your best most thoughtful ideas about how we as a nation might create laws and establish policies to make these imperatives rise again in American life.  Every so often we’ll all vote on the best ideas and send them to our elected representatives and hold them accountable for real action. It’s past time.  Let’s put the future in our hands.
