I'm a native Oregonian who is very concerned about the environment, health issues, and the ascendency of corporate dominance in American life. My heroes amongst the founding fathers are Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson. I do my best to read the Constitution at least once per year. Try it sometime: It's a good read and only 12 pages long.

We NEED to get multinational corporations out of our government and take it back to the people. I am becoming increasingly alarmed at our politicians who are trashing our country, our Constitution, and all of the blood our founding fathers and mothers shed to insure we have liberty and a decent life.

I am an animist and believe the universe itself is the body of the creator. Energy and matter are simply the expressions of 'God-force' at work and everything possesses a spirit, including inanimate objects such as trees and stones.

It is interesting to note that most of our founding fathers were NOT Christian, but rather deists. They too, saw the splendor of Nature and believed that every man, every woman, every person of color, and indeed nature itself possessed the spirit of God.

However, they were not deists by the definition some would attribute to deism in that God created the world and then became a 'sleeping giant'. Rather, they believed we are God's instruments in the universe and thus we are God. Therefore, we have an enormous responsibility to ourselves, our fellow man, and the planet.
