For those of you that think this is a DEI site, your wrong. For those of you that think this is a conservative site, your wrong. I’m an old man who is sick and tired of people trying to tear this country apart by creating differences between us. I am also tired of those same people just passing the buck or telling us they need more money in order to fix the problem that they said they would fix the last time they asked for more. This site is just simply what it states, “BRINGING DIFFERENCES TOGETHER TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.”

WE HAVE MORE IN COMMON THAN WHAT WE DISAGREE ABOUT

The only real difference we have is how we think the problems should be solved. Once we realize that and start talking about solutions we can start to get somewhere. It’s time to put away the hatred towards each other and start working together to solve common problems.

In a world where crime, disease, and controversial issues dominate the news, one thing remains true: The world is constantly changing. We are at a turning point in history that gives us the opportunity to examine our values and the culture we would like to foster. I believe in three guiding principles to keep our Nation great:

  1. pride in America,
  2. responsibility and accountability for one’s own actions, and
  3. law and order in our great Nation.

I know that every person has a unique background and set of circumstances that they carry with them every day. I value their individual stories and the values I go by:

RESPECT
TOLERANCE
UNITY

This site is a place where people come to learn, contribute, grow, and eventually change our world. We are a place where we value each and every member of our community and the differences they bring to the table. Either "UNITED WE STAND OR DIVIDED WE FALL" so I encourage you:

  • To learn about and from each other.
  • To learn about dividing issues.
  • To learn how to have healthy conversations about any topic.
  • To learn of ways to bridge differences bringing us closer together.

We unite to overcome adversities such as disasters, and we unite to celebrate successes. We must work together as a team to overcome and celebrate our differences in order to make this world a little bit better and not let anyone or anything divide us.

We need to plant the seeds of respect, tolerance and unity. No matter who you are, you ARE BORN, BREATHE THE AIR AROUND US, BLEED RED, and DIE. Very simply:

  • No matter your walk of life, race, religion, sex, or orientation, we do not discriminate for any reason.
  • We welcome all Americans.

We could also learn a lot from our children. They don't have the divisiveness until we instill it in them. We need to nurture these seeds for one America. The nurturing is not just with our children but with our political and civilian leaders. Many have lost their way and are hyper intolerant. We need to bring them back to the value of being united. We need to demand this from our governmental and civilian leadership.

We can then watch them grow, blossom, and make a difference.

For our Republic to survive and our government to function as it should, citizens must have the belief that the government is working for and not against them. In doing so, the same citizens must have a say in how they want to be governed. It boils down to the citizenry having full faith in the very foundation of our Republic which is the election system and that their voice (VOTE) matters and elections are not predetermined by some external force manipulating the ballots whether they be paper or electronic.

How can we ensure that this is accomplished and that your vote will count and not be diluted by unauthorized voters or voting? The only logical answer is:

Build a better election system !!!

Let me introduce my solution to you. The aim of this is to reengage all citizens to their civic duty of voting for their political leaders, improving access to the ballot for all Americans, and restoring confidence in our election process.

I also want to make something perfectly clear up front. There has been many discussions concerning hacked electronic voting devices and fraudulent mail in ballots. I believe both to be true, but I do not subscribe to the proposition that we must return to the strict paper ballot and hand counting. I believe that is a giant step backwards. I am a firm believer that if we can send a man to moon and build reliable air and space craft, we have the technology to design and build the best and securest voting devices and system. We just have to commit to doing it.

The ultimate goal is to:

  • Stage 1 - Identify and define goals, outcomes, and expectations
  • Stage 2 - Development of the prototype system
  • Stage 3 - Testing and Refinement
  • Stage 4 - Contracting with equipment manufacturers
  • Stage 5 - Production/procurement of equipment
  • Stage 6 - Testing and verification of production equipment functions
  • Stage 7 - Contracting with States for use of the software and equipment
  • Stage 8 – Implementation
  • Stage 9 – Reevaluation and refinement of the election integrity system

I am currently writing a document for what I believe to be the best election system. As this is in the first stage of defining and developing the framework, goals, and outcomes, I anticipate the document changing many times as new information is received..

Please feel free to contact me with your suggestions, ideas, or even constructive criticisms.

Our republic is founded on checks and balances and depends on broad participation to ensure fairness. Americans should look to participate in every way they can — joining civic groups, calling and emailing their elected officials, signing up to be poll workers, and assisting voter registration drives led by established groups that understand the rules. And most importantly, VOTE!

Who should be on Team Red White Blue?

It will require many people from all different walks of life in order to build a better election system. These are some of the team leaders that would be needed:

  • Team Leader
  • Accountant
  • Grant Writer
  • Document Writer
  • Software Engineer
  • Hardware Engineer
  • Local Election Supervisor
  • State Election Official
  • State Congressman
  • Federal Congressman

A 60% or even the highest voter participation rate of 66% is unacceptable. Less than two thirds of the Nation gets out to vote. I have heard more than enough complaints and disgust about politicians and how our Nation is going downhill, but at the same time they also say that their vote doesn’t count so they don’t take the time or effort to get out and vote. That has to stop. Your vote only counts if you cast it. Even if your candidate for office loses, if there are enough votes, the winning candidate will have to take note in order to perpetuate their political career. The only way to get the attention of politicians is to let them really hear your voice through your vote.

We challenge you to do your patriotic and civic duty and vote. Primary voting has begun in many states.

Please let me know what you are thinking.
You too can make a difference!
