Liberty Union: an alternative to the failures of the two-party system

BRATTLEBORO — “Government ought to move in the direction of assuring that the wealth and resources of the world will be used to provide a materially secure life for all people on the planet - including opportunities for universal health care, quality child care, and education - simultaneously preserving the planet and its resources for future generations.”

Do you agree?

This is the foundation of the Liberty Union platform.

Since both Republicans and Democrats, the members of the two-party system who had multiple decades to engage their theories and ways, have failed us, and since together they have brought us all to the brink of destruction and self-annihilation, let us try another way.

Let us remove greed from the throne as king of our country; let us remove elitism and competition from our way of life. Let us replace them with true equality, equanimity, respect, and cooperation.

Most can see that holding on to past ways because “we have always done it this way” is a recipe for disaster and mayhem in our current world. Let us all rethink our values and commit courageous and creative action to healing our world and living out a future of our own design, one that includes thoughtful regard for the whole community, the whole globe.

We are only one world, after all. We are all one people. There is only one planet. One. Truth is true. Whether you believe it or not.
