WHO ARE WE?

If you are aged 45 to 74, you're one of the 80 million, too. But just who are we?

WE ARE…
the generation that lived through the Cuban Missile Crisis and fought in Vietnam; supported the Civil Rights movement and mourned the assassinations of JFK, RFK, and MLK.

WE ARE…
the youth who supported Women’s Rights and Human Rights; lived through the drama of Watergate and the unprecedented resignation of a President; endured the oil embargo and gasoline shortages of the 1980’s; and celebrated the end of the Cold War.

WE ARE…
the consumers who embraced audio cassettes, video disks, personal computers, the World Wide Web, bar codes, ATMs and floppy disks; the Ethernet, ink-jet printers, cell phones, MS-DOS,  HDTV, and the answering machine.

WE ARE…
the citizens who fought racism, sexism, and ethnic prejudice and demanded the eradication of poverty.

WE ARE…
The business people who created Apple, Windows, and the iPad.
Since we came of age we have helped build this country through hard work, innovation, and sound values. We are determined that our legacy and our country shall not be ruined by a Congress and Presidency that is self-serving and unable to act. We are the generation that brought an end to the Vietnam War, not by occupying, but through strong protest and a willingness to be seen and heard.

It is time for us to be seen and heard once again before it is too late to solve our country’s problems.

In the near future we will be posting information on the key issues that are facing this nation such as: healthcare, our deficit, social security, taxes, crime, etc. We will provide a summary of the current situation, issues to be addressed and recommendations. Then we will tell you how to take action; for example, phone calls to our Congress, protests at government offices and of course voting the right people into office.
