Practice for December 9, 2016

1. “We the Civic People of the United States” seems appropriate for this journey to ultimately establish the totality: We the People of the United States.
2. We need your commitment to iteratively collaborate. The people’s vote--the President-elect Donald Trump’s success---inspired a letter, which I signed and mailed on December 2, 2016. Without making assumptions about his hopes and vision, I described a possible civic culture, “civic” referring to appreciative human connections for private-liberty in this place and asked Trump to collaborate with us. The achievable future culture features 1) use of the preamble by at least 2/3 of the people, 2) civic-morality based on the discovered, indisputable-facts-of-reality rather than social-morality as temporal majority-opinion, 3) individual-independence through fidelity, 4) public-integrity, 5) overarching civic culture which comforts every real-no-harm private interest, 6) the assertion that 2/3 of the people already contribute to Security (but have not had the words and phrases with which to appreciate and comfort each other) and 7) government according to statutory law that nudges the dissident 1/3 to iteratively collaborate for a civic culture. If Mr. Trump becomes interested in a possible civic culture, I anticipate listing contacts for the people who created the current words and phrases, like “civic” and “public-integrity.” Our acknowledgements page lists contributors, but I do not know if people I list would elect inclusion for this purpose. If you would like to endorse a civic culture as collaborated for in this work, please let me know: name, address, phone number, and email address.
3. Please read “And now Security." (Note 3). It would promote possible better-future in the USA.
4. The animated movie “Zootopia,” perhaps expresses two civic morals: good-will to all who are appreciative with nevertheless necessary law enforcement.
5. I express a purpose: public-integrity as private-liberty-with-civic-morality. I explain in the essay, “A civic culture.” Also Note 3.
6. Readers may be interested in recent posts: libertylawsite (Note 4), quora.com (Note 5), and The Advocate (Note 6). In that effort I try to appreciate, comfort, and motivate civic people.
7. I need your help. What can be done to inspire 2/3 of the people in every demographic to appreciate each other for civic safety and security offered despite a conflicted world? That would include 2/3 of each: politicians, clergy, fishermen, shipbuilders, lawyers, judges, writers for the media, journalists, singers, machinists, farmers and the rest of neighbors a civic people need---2/3 of every group or person. If you have a civic issue you would like to present for collaboration at a library meeting, please do so.
8. In the awakening to Alinsky-Marxist organizers---AMO, we are at a turning point toward addressing the consequences of private behavior, IMO. Just as people may earn a living in order to have the freedom to live with the liberty to make choices, each person may iteratively collaborate for justice.
9. Many writers for the media and a few journalists have written opinion about the harm done by the Electoral College. It turns out a chemical engineer can understand it by reading about it. (Note 7). Through the apportionment process, California has 697,000 citizens per Representative vs 194,000 in Wyoming. To put it another way, a citizen's vote in California has less Electoral-College weight and congressional representative weight than a citizen's vote in Wyoming: A presidential candidate needs to care about the preferences of citizens in Wyoming, too. The USA’s statutory, republican form of government prevents the misery of socialist-democracy that is suffered in Europe.
10. Sometimes a timely slogan becomes a future distraction.Patrick Henry's famous liberty statement was noble and still pertinent. But in 2016 domestic Security or justice, the people's responsibility, is failing liberty.

1. Synonymous expression of “private-liberty” by Dona Bean, my sister, in conversation on December 6, 2016.
