DECENTRALIZED COOPERATIVE ~ "NEW GLORY FLAG"

THE RAINBOW FAMILY OF LIVING LIGHT

The Rainbow Family has used the “New Glory” flag for many years. The canton of stars represents all of the constellations — united, or the U.S. depending on who you talk to. The stripes of many colors represent all of the tribes of the earth. The symbolism being that all of the different peoples or tribes can come together in peace and harmony. At least in a flag! And hopefully in person. The “Rainbow Family of Living Light”, also known as the “Rainbow Family” is an international, non-hierarchical, non-organized, loose-knit group of hippies. Ages vary from 1960´s flower power veterans to new-borns. All decisions are made by consensus. Anyone who cares about the earth and their fellow man is automatically a member. That includes you! Of course, membership lists are not kept, acceptance of a person is automatic upon that person showing up at a “gathering”. Sort of a hippie camporee! Or peace festival. National gatherings in the U.S. draw about 20 to 40 thousand people. It is not a gay organization. Gays are of course included, but as human beings, brothers and sisters, not as predominant or exclusive, or even excluded. Just more people. In about the same proportions as the general population — whatever that may be! — Kevin McNamara, 9 September 1999

DC: The Case for a Decentralized Cooperative Party in the United States

Ever since the Election of 1792, when George Washington was running for his second term, there has been a partisan split in the American Electorate. What had been a united front after ratification of the Constitution in 1789 by seven of the original thirteen states that declared political independence from Great Britain in Congress assembled on July 4, 1776, split into two ideological camps. Federalists led by Alexander Hamilton and Republicans led by Thomas Jefferson, eventually dubbed Democratic Republicans, formed original Right-Left dichotomy in this country. This persists in the present Republican and Democratic parties that dominate American politics in what has evolved into an established two-party system. Briefly, such parties as National Republican, Anti-Masonic, Whig, Progressive, etc. came and went (akin to to an intermittent "flash in the pan," offsetting the usual mainstream parade of donkeys and elephants appearing on the ballot).

Formation of a De-centralized Co-operative Party in America

The only way to bridge a Right-Left Partisan Divide in Congress is to transform the United States into a multi-party Democratic Republic. This needs to be passed by a two-thirds majority of legislatures in the 50 states as an Amendment to the United States Constitution. ~ JDHWB-R
