Comments on GRIH
Occasionally we run across comments about GRIH. The following is from State Senator Gary Hooser’s blog. Since we view ourselves as trying to point and move up, instead of right or left, we view his comments as a little silly and certainly uninformed. See our statement of Guiding Principle. Besides that we wonder about his vision. How does it integrate into human freedom, a key American value? Your comments are welcome:
Vision Statements
The Grass Root Institute, an organization that operates out of the far right field of public policy development has been requesting (for about two years now) that legislators and other elected officials provide them with “vision statements”.
I submitted my statement of vision to them yesterday and it is simple and succinct. The values and philosophy that drive my vision of the future are capsulized within the following three concepts;
1) Peace
2) Social Justice
3) SustainabilityUnfortunately, the Bush administration and the Republican controlled U.S. Congress continue moving forward aggressively ripping and shredding this vision, not only within our own community, but on a global scale.
