Newton Leroy "Newt" Gingrich represented the 6th District of Georgia from 1979 to 1999...when he resigned due to poor Republican performance and a reprimand from the House for Gingrich's ethics violations. So, it is a surprise to me that I look to him today for his concern for America and his position that Americans don't want a Red vs Blue nation...but a Red, White, and Blue one....
While I am not in agreement with some of his supporters, like the Koch brothers...I do feel he is right that the future of America, and perhaps the entire planet, is balanced on the needs, wants and desires of the citizens of our nations and of the world...not on extreme left or right views of what the world should be.
We want change that will improve our lives, and the lives of others, while reducing our debt, limiting entitlements where there is no need, or where there is overlap or redundancy and reducing government.
How does this fit into a blog on assisting the earth? Simple really, we need to get off of Top Dead Center and back into the game and America needs to stop arguing and begin leading again. The issues of Sustainability are all linked to how and what we do to improve the Earth now and way down the road into the future.
So Thanks Newt... really, Thanks...now the rest of you...reach out and make things happen.
