New Guide & Book: Taking Our Nation Back from Trump & the Republicans

Another two years of Trump will be disastrous. So, we must defeat the Republicans in November at the National level and take back control of the House and the Senate. But for this to happen, we have to better understand the terrible political situation that Trump has created (and the bad movement he has encouraged), to motivate all of the movements that have come up in opposition to Trump to unite, and for all Democrats and their anti-Republican allies to have a bold, courageous and constructive vision of the best America can be. This will inspire voters who had stayed on the sidelines, and new voters who are getting energized (like the Parkland College, Florida, students and newly registered young voters by NextGen America), and motivate them to get out and vote, and defeat the Republicans. But defeating is not enough this time, as Democrats need to be very engaged to keep at it and make sure not only that the damage done to America by Trump is repaired, but that we keep at it to continue to help make America’s visions a reality, so that America is the best that it can be, and to make sure that no reversals occur.

The “Rejuvenate Guide” that I have written, describes this in summary, and is intended to be a handy Action document in the hands of all candidates and people wanting to be active at politics affecting the national level. The “Rejuvenating America – Rejuvenate – Visions of a Better America” is about a 150 page book that active people can refer to if they need to understand a topic or information in greater detail. This book has just been published, and covers all issues in greater detail, but especially the national (and global) dangers of the Trump movement, the Jobs & Economy visions that I have shared with ECDC in the past, and descriptions of and reforms needed of US Defense, Trade policy, Healthcare, Climate Change, and the US financial system. The Guide and Book should help candidates, movement leaders and active folks have stronger talking points – for this both of them list action items for the vision and issue areas.

The Rejuvenate Guide or Manual will be available for free download from the new website.
www.rejuvenate-america.com. In the meantime, just email me and I will send it to you. The “Rejuvenating America – Rejuvenate, Visions of a Better America” Book, is now available on Amazon.

I am seeking your help to get the word out to all that you know, and especially to candidates and public officials. This is a resource that can help all for the November 6, 2018 election!
