Part
35: National solutions to our dilemma
Where
do we start? What on earth can anyone do
to change the grave results of adding 100 million people to the
United States
by 2040? If the current S.B. 1348 passes
on mass amnesty for illegal alien
migrants, Robert Rector of the Heritage Foundation states that America will add
as many as 103 million by 2027. What about the fact that the rest of humanity
expects another three billion added by 2050? Why won’t our leaders speak up about an issue so dire that it affects
every American today and in the future?
Why
wouldn’t anyone question adding 100 million people to the
US population
when millions sit in gridlock traffic, breathe toxic air, pay more for everything,
suffer water shortages—and know that it can only worsen?
Heck
of a question! Everyone runs from the
answer.
As
you can imagine--religions, emotions, cultures and history lock most humans
into paradigms formed 2,000 years ago. While
such paradigms fail in the 21st century, most humans cling to those beliefs
as a life raft in the desert when they should be searching for water. Capitalism, corporations and religions’
premise that humans can multiply forever shall prove our greatest obstacle to
reasonable choices.
As
you read this series, you realize our civilization stands at risk. What can you do?
In
all of recorded history, passionate men and women rose out of nowhere to take
action to right some wrong. Some became
famous and most did not. Fame meant
nothing to them other than it became a byproduct of their actions. Another aspect of their work rendered what
Malcolm Gladwell called a “tipping point” in history where change occurred via
the bravery and passion of common persons with uncommon determination.
That
“tipping point” became critical mass that provoked American colonists to fight
and die for their new country. Susan B.
Anthony provided a “tipping point” to gain voting rights for women. In
India, Gandhi’s walk to the sea
provided a “tipping point” to oust the British. Dr. Martin Luther King provoked the civil rights movement.
Which
great person in history inspires you? John Muir? Teddy Roosevelt? Charles Lindbergh? Amelia Earhart? Harry Truman? Your dad? Your mom? What do they all possess in common? Noble purpose!
That
was their time; this is yours.
I
invite you to bring your highest creative energy to this noblest hour in
history. What we do in the next decade will
change the course of history for
America and the world. That can mean for the better or worse,
depending on our collective actions.
How
can we stop the
United
States from adding 100 million people?
In
this 35th part of the series, we’ll examine logical, practical and
reasonable choices to stabilize
America’s
population to a sustainable future for all citizens. By taking actions for ourselves, we will
inspire and invite other countries to establish their own choices.
Since
the
U.S. female enjoys a
2.03 fertility level, it’s not
America
growing its population from within. What
causes our accelerating population grow? Short answer: immigration both legal and illegal.
Since
you own your house, you can choose to have 20 guests or 100 guests depending on
your choices. We as a nation must choose
how many guests we want in our ‘house’.
1.
A TEN YEAR MORATORIUM ON ALL IMMIGRATION: This would allow our country to
regain its collective breath. It would
allow us to regain our schools, language, medical facilities, financial
balance, ecological viability and order, which is necessary for a
First World country to operate for all its citizens.
We
must employ a linkage strategy. Congressman Tom Tancredo said, “The challenge is enormous and you have
to talk about a moratorium. You can’t
talk about anything short of a moratorium because, frankly, anything less will
never get you one step closer to population stabilization.”
After
the 10 year immigration moratorium, a maximum of 100,000 immigrants with needed
skills to our benefit and who speak the English language before they arrive
will be allowed into the
United
States. If that maintains our stable population, we can continue. If not, we
must continue the moratorium.
2. DEVELOP AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR
THE CARRYING CAPACITY OF THE UNITED STATES: How many people can this nation hold and still maintain our standard of
living and quality of life? How can we
reach it in order to provide the “American Dream” for all citizens? How can we maintain enough water and farmland
to feed ourselves instead of depending on imports from other countries as
global warming and gasoline become more critical? What is our population limit?
3.
DEVELOP A NATIONAL POPULATION POLICY: The world must deal with the harsh reality of limited human
population. As the leader of the free
world, we must lead in the understanding that a national population policy will
give future generations a sustainable and viable future. Without it, we drive forward with no idea of
where we’re heading and where we’ll end up.
China is already
where we don’t want to go and
India
is even worse because it keeps driving its civilization over a cliff as it adds
another 500 million by 2050. We must
move toward a two children or less family policy. We can do it by choice today
because we’re already at 2.03 children per American female. If we wait, we’ll be in the same boat as the
Chinese with forced one child per family.
Of
course, the first thing religious leaders will scream is “abortion” and other
critical name calling. No, a population
policy allows choice before our
civilization runs out of choices.
4. FAMILY PLANNING WORLDWIDE: The
United States and other
First
World countries need to assist other countries with family
planning methods. Birth control is a
major aspect of family planning. Without
it,
Third World countries suffer endless
population increases and degradation.
The Catholic Church, Protestants, Islam and
other religions that continually work against family planning must step out of
the Dark Ages and into the 21st century. We can promote education that spotlights
their entrenched thinking based on concepts that formed 2,000 years ago. Humans must work in harmony with nature and
that means we must stabilize our numbers. We must maintain one or two children families worldwide.
It’s not logical to think any of these great
religions would flip to a rational action by accepting family planning any time
soon. Therefore, we are obligated to
take care of our citizens first to ensure our country’s viability. After that, we may continue our assistance
worldwide.
5. DEVELOPMENTAL ASSISTANCE:
First
World countries need to assist with development, housing,
education, fresh water, family planning and health care for countries that
suffer from this planet-wide population crisis. Help them in their own countries. That means tractors, crop techniques, irrigation, etc. Not money because money only goes into the
hands of the leaders.
6. ELECT SENATORS AND CONGRESSIONAL
REPRESENTATIVES WHO REPRESENT AMERICANS: One of the reasons Congress and our President have created this national
nightmare stems from their being members of the ‘good old boy’s network. They are the ‘elites’ who never worry about
mortgages or car payments like the rest of us. As long as they represent massive immigration as well as corporations
who pander this nightmare, you will not see change. You must elect leaders who will take action
on behalf of Americans.
A
scant 50 percent of Americans vote in national elections. Local elections rate
less than 20 percent participation most of the time. More Americans see this crisis and more
Americans are stepping up to the plate. They are running for office in many states.
THE
MOST IMPORTANT WAY TO SAVE
AMERICA: You! Use the Internet with web sites that create collective action. Connect with all Americans. Use your money and your time. Stand up. Write. Call. Radio talk shows. Call on TV networks and express your
anger. Express your ideas. Be heard. Be seen. Be passionate. Demand. Expect action. Become action in
motion.
In
the second part of this last chapter, we’ll examine what you can do
individually to make a difference in your home, community, state and
nation. You’ll be furnished with web
sites and actions that will change the course of history.
