The Future

Dear Senator Obama,

The future of the Country, and perhaps even the World, hinge upon your victory.

Energy. We know where we need to be: complete energy independence. The technology, enthusiasm, and determination are finally all aligned.

Peace. I believe real inter-country world peace is attainable, and your ongoing trip is making that even more realistic. I believe China will increasingly be a solid ally in that endeavor, and, frankly, the Vatican has been ignored or not forced to the table as a worldwide force for peace and social justice.

The Economy. We must end the miserable failure of trickle-down economics and deregulation, and establish a Health Care system that helps the Economy thrive- not bog it down.

Allow me to very humbly suggest a sure path to victory.

Sir, you need to put together a plan I am loosely calling "Vision 20/20 for the Year 2020."

Perhaps others have used the "year 2020" and the "perfect 20/20 vision" connection, but even if they have, it is still fabulous for your use.

My friend Tom mentioned JFK's Moon speech to me after I started melding the two together in my head.

JFK's "We will land...on the moon..." determination gathers my thoughts very nicely.

Unveiled at the Convention:

• In the year 2020, we WILL have energy independence.

• In the year 2020, we WILL have peace between all Countries of the World.

• In the year 2020, we WILL have rebuilt our Economy and once again be the biggest creditor nation, and not the biggest debtor nation, in the World.

The August 28th "I have a Dream!" speech anniversary/connection is very emotional, and very important, but you MUST go beyond that, to carve out Path Obama.

Somewhere in there amongst the 20/20 vision and the year 2020 connection is a beautiful, catchy phrase that will be just as good and effective as "It's the Economy, Stupid!"

The longer version would be:

"Energy...Peace...Economy... Never more reachable, never more urgent."

PS- we can't start with "Peace", or we will have the acronym P.E.E.
