Once Before in America

<!-- @page { margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } --> Once before in America, there was such a time as this.  Faced with polarizing social and political needs and devastating economic turmoil, competing groups of the powerful and entrenched, as well as the economically disenfranchised but vocal mainstream searching for solutions, came together.  They began to meet, to dialogue, to compromise and to unite. Lacking a clear-cut approach, America turned to its innovative spirit and found its voice. And with this new voice our fathers founded America. A functioning Democracy, countless technological and manufacturing breakthroughs, American economic preeminence and a resurgence of the human spirit were the result. Today, as in no other period since, we must all respond to the clarion call for change ... but change girded with good old American common sense. Thoughts, Ideas and Projects? What a clear call to action! I, for one, am listening.
