    Member Spotlight: What will you do?

    Active, long-time member GP in Minnesota made a very clear comment in the blog post, "Who holds the reins of government matters."

    He wrote...

    (Nader in 2024) At the end of his speech, during the Q&A part, someone asked him "What will you do when this is all over if you don't win the presidency?" He responded that he would go back to the same work he was doing before. But he then posed a counter-question; one that I'll always remember.

    Ralph asked the audience:

    Member Spotlight: This great country

    I was getting caught up on comments this morning after the Colbert bump and I stumbled across this amazing entry by a Unity08 member:

    What can you do as a member? Get interviewed!

    Members often email us and ask what they can do to help the movement. Earlier this week, Bob Beck, a member in Monroe, Wisconsin, was interviewed by his local newspaper.

    The interview is fantastic. Mr. Beck does a great job of hitting the salient points about the movement. Nice work, Sir!

    Sam Waterston on Colbert Tonight

    Sam Waterston, Emmy-winning actor and Unity08 spokesperson, will be on The Colbert Report Wednesday, September 26 at 11:30pm ET.

    We've also launched a poll to follow up on our previous visit to Colbert where we announced the "Should Colbert run for president?" poll -- which was our largest ever -- this time "If Stephen Colbert runs for president, who should he pick for his running mate?"

    The Rising Tide of Disapproval

    The most recent Reuters/Zogby poll puts the public approval rating of the President at 29% and of the Congress at 11%.  The disapproval of the Congress is at 83% (82% among Democrats, 86% among Republicans, 96% among Independents).

    How high must the disapproval go before Washington understands:  Politics-as-usual is dead.  Done.  Gone.  Through.  Over.

    Who holds the reins of government matters

    Alan Greenspan's book, The Age of Turbulence, published this month, is another testament to  why we need to reunite the country through Unity08. Mr. Greenspan's insight and experience provide examples of what has gone wrong and what we are trying to recover.

    Some quotes from the book...

    “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”

    “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”  –Lao-Tzu, Chinese Philosopher (604 BC - 531 BC)
