Congress creates and passes the laws that shape everything about our nation: how we treat our citizens, our freedoms, our responsibilities, our relations with every other country on the planet, how we treat the planet itself, war and peace, our economy, our politics, our infrastructure, our monetary and banking system ...

The Billy Green saga continues! Billy's challenging, sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic, always unpredictable journey. He was more determined than ever to find meaning in life and comfort in love.Billy came to know one thing for sure.Love is real.He could now with the absolute cocksure confidence of pure enlightenment, scoff at the naysayers and spit in the face of the purveyors of romantic nihilism, the cynics who say that love is an illusion.Billy knew the real score.Love is the light that never dims.Love is a wine that flows in our hearts.Love is a wonder that has no beginning or end.Love is a master key that opens the gates of perfection.Love is the language our souls use to speak to one another.Love is the trafficking of fantasies and transcending of mortality.Love is an energy that can neither be created or destroyed.Love is God Allah Yahweh Shiva Qat Aphrodite.Love is touch smell feel taste listen pray.Love is the poetry of the senses.Love is metaphysical gravity.Love is the gift of oneself.Love is sweet tyranny.All you need is love.Descartes.

Love Connection: Romance in the Land of the Rising Sun is a "romantic adventure" that spans three continents, and is entirely unlike any love story you've ever read. And it is based on real events! The novel is set in contemporary Japan and is the story of Kumiko and Takashi, two 50-something individuals grieving the loss of their spouses. We follow their romantic quests as they travel separately to Africa -- Uganda, Kenya, Nigeria, and other exotic countries. They finally meet back in Japan under most unusual and shocking circumstances. This totally unique tale is not a romance novel in the traditional sense. It's about finding and redefining self, rediscovering relationships, revitalizing life, and then in sharp contrast, the ruthlessness and callous manipulation by certain foreign criminal elements, preying on the innocent, trusting nature of Japanese people.

If Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is elected in 2024, as a president who reports to the "people", truly puts the the welfare of all citizens ahead of Wall Street, the big banks, the military-industrial complex, the ruling elite and other powerful special interests, thus serves the needs of the all citizens, not just the wealthy elite, THEN HE WILL NEED A CONGRESS THAT SUPPORTS AND PROMOTES HIS AGENDA.Congress creates and passes the laws that shape everything about our nation: how we treat our citizens, our freedoms, our responsibilities, our relations with every other country on the planet, how we treat the planet itself, war and peace, our economy, our politics, our infrastructure, our monetary and banking system ... EVERYTHING!For there to be any progress, for our country to start functioning again, for everyday citizens to have a voice in shaping the future they want for themselves and future generations,WE MUST ELECT A CONGRESS THAT TRULY REPRESENTS AND SERVES THE PEOPLE!

Democracy at both the local and national levels recently had been under savage assault. Martin Truth's fight was but one of many such struggles to restore the meaning of representative government to a system that had been corrupted by big money and corporate power."An Unlikely Truth" is an engaging story offering a strategy for throwing the liars and crooks out of public office and restoring representative democracy to our country.More important, it embodies hope that not all is lost, that there is a "narrative" which can begin to put America back on track, render government again of the people, by the people, and for the people.

In this dark dystopian satire, a young man who escapes his hayseed hometown in Bible-Belt Missouri is mistakenly identified as a terrorist and hunted down by the national security agencies, while the President confronting an America in chaos and collapse perpetrates an end-of-the-world hoax, in a desperate attempt to get himself re-elected.Blinders Keepers is social-political satire in the tradition of Jonathan Swift, Kurt Vonnegut and Joseph Heller, but revved up and spit-shined to take on the new levels of absurdity and dysfunction of the 21st Century.

Poor Billy Green! When he was just turning four, his father tried to throw him in the trash. He was a smart kid but that just seemed to create enemies. His mom did everything to protect him. But this was Detroit, armpit of the wasteland! Catholic school didn't help much, except the time he got his first kiss from an atheist nun. Home life was dismal. Was his father capable of anything but drinking beer and farting? And what was with that neighbor who made puppets and tried to molest Billy? Golly! Detroit was sucking the life out of him. At such a young age. Then adolescence swirled around him. Like water in a toilet bowl. High school was a B movie. Only without a plot. So finally he did something about it. Billy ran away ... to college. Cornell University. That was a good move for sure! He studied hard, lost his virginity, met the love of his life. Things were definitely looking up! What could possibly go wrong?

The Peace Dividend strategy is a direct attack on America's systemic addiction to war by appealing to the self-interest of its citizens.The Peace Dividend concept literally INCENTIVIZES citizens to redirect their thinking and start WORKING FOR PEACE!With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1992, American citizens were promised a "peace dividend", i.e. less money for war, more for peace and a good life for all. The U.S. military under misguided leadership has attacked eight countries since then. The defense budget has exploded, buying a lot of junk that doesn't work and military hardware we don't need. This is not pocket change. The fraudulent wars and waste by the military amounts to no less than $4.82 trillion! This is money U.S. citizens paid as taxes in good faith, trusting their leaders were telling them the truth. They weren't. They lied to us!

This is the inspiring story of a small committed group of activists who either never knew or forgot the meaning of the word 'impossible'.
