          THE NATIONAL TAX REVOLT  -  CHAPTER THREE
          
          THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN DO ALL THESE THINGS IS YOU.
          
          Well, we are going to sum up in this chapter and try to keep
          this book to a minimum of words so that everyone can read it
          quickly and take some action.  In the next version, we will
          discuss in further details some of the concepts mentioned
          here in the first version.  We want to get some of your
          feedback before we go any further.  After all, if we don't
          all RE-INVENT THE NEXT GOVERNMENT together, it wouldn't
          really be democratic, would it?  That's why we need to help
          President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore, jr.
          
          They have issued us the most important and significant
          challenge to our people than any American President since
          Abraham Lincoln.  Old Abe goes down in history as being one
          of the greatest statesman of all time because he would give
          his life for the sake of the Union.  Many people feel that
          he had a great deal of sympathy for the plight of the Black
          Man, but historians tell us that Abe Lincoln's fight was a
          fight to save the precious United States of America, and if
          he helped Blacks gain their freedom, that was good too.  And
          we are now in the exact same condition that this great
          country was in, back in 1860 and we are luckily led by a
          great President.  Surely, you might not agree with
          everything Bill Clinton has fostered, but I strongly hope
          that RE-INVENTING GOVERNMENT is the greatest concept in the
          world and any President of the United States who fosters
          this notion is going to go down in history right along with
          Old Abe Lincoln.
          
          There's only one catch.  He can't do it himself.  He, and
          all presidents before him, have proven that he doesn't have
          all the wisdom in the world by and of himself.  It's the
          wisdom of the American people that matters most and that
          will be needed the most in this next great Civil War.  And
          make no mistake, it will be a war.  Though a non-violent
          war, a war it will be to wrest the power from the
          politically priviledged and take it back where it belongs,
          in the hands of ordinary people.
          
          They will say that we're all crazy.  They will say that it's
          impossible.  They will say it's too expensive to take
          everyone's vote on any given solution.  Yet, the expense of
          not doing so has been demonstrated!  They will cite the same
          survey I have cited already to tell us that we're not smart
          enough to manage our own government.  They will tell us that
          we're going to ruin our country.  They will tell us all
          kinds of lies and make up all kinds of rules to try and
          thwart this movement towards democracy.
          
          But what we have on our side is the truth and perhaps, more
          importantly, we have the help of the President of the United
          States himself.  He can't back down now, unless we let him.
          We have to show him now by the actions we take in the next
          few months and years that we are not apathetic about
          politics and that we do care enough about our country to get
          involved and contribute something, even if only a couple
          hours a week.  We must show him that we support the idea of
          RE-INVENTING THE GOVERNMENT, and to the point that we want
          to re-invent it so well that it can never fail us again.
          
          We have to RE-INVENT GOVERNMENT AND DO SUCH A GOOD JOB OF
          IT, that there are never major recessions and depressions
          again where so many people suffer. We must do such a good
          job that we are never afraid of being wrongly convicted of a
          crime.  We must do such a good job that can sleep peacefully
          in our homes, not worried about an invasion of our privacy,
          the destruction of our families.  We must re-invent
          government to such a degree that we can have no more Viet
          Nams.  We must do such a good job that we are never waiting
          in line for gasoline or any energy source to keep our
          economy running. We must do such a good job that the rest of
          the world will stop in their tracks, take notice of a people
          truly on the move for a Real Change.  We must show the rest
          of the world that Real Democracy can and will work so much
          better than anything that's ever been tried.  We must do
          such a great job that we are all living in a country that
          cooperates and gives with its heart and soul the best and
          the most it can be every day.
          
          In short, we have to have you involved.  We must all work on
          this project, daily, because it's a big job, an important
          job, but a job that needs to be done and done correctly.
          When Americans are faced with such a challenge they usually
          respond in an overwhelming and very generous manner.  We
          await with anticipation your participation.
