ABOUT THE AUTHOR Bright Harry is presently writing four books at the same time and on accelerated schedule. The first one is entitled “America, Wake Up! We are Destroying the American Economy and Ourselves. The urgency of the present Global economic mess, especially in the United States, prompted him to push forward the completion schedule. The other three books are “The Deadliest Formula in the World”, “The Government is not the Nation”, and “Revolutionary Democratic Capitalism (Economic System of the 21st Century and Beyond). The essence of all four books is to solve once and for all, the present Global Economic meltdown and calamitous wealth discrimination that are destroying billions of lives, creating massively unbelievable poverty, and causing and exacerbating terrorism all around the world. He is a Mechanical Engineer by profession with a minor in business and economics. As previous founder and CEO of several High Technology Companies in Silicon Valley, he has a pulse of the business world and now putting his pragmatic ideas in writing to make the world much better, while helping humanity as a whole. His focus and writings are usually on technology, business strategies and modern economics. His present and immediate goal is to prevent the US Congress and the White House from turning the Great Recession of 2007 into the Great Depression of the 21st Century through ignorance, as was the case between 1929 and 1932. His ultimate goal is the replacement of the presently flawed Feudalistic and Plutocratic Capitalism of the United States with the transformative Democratic Capitalism ensconced in an Economic Democracy that is always intertwined with its twin Political Democracy, for us to continue being the beacon of light and visionary Nation to the rest of the world. You can get the latest information on his book, “America, Wake Up! We are Destroying the American Economy and Ourselves”, at his Website.

Known as "WakeUpAmerica" on Yahoo, Steve has an extremely high approval rating, and does not hesitate to aggressively take often controversial positions. As early as 2006, he called for protests which are taking place now, for the very same reasons. A staunch Libertarian, he accurately predicted both the U.S. real estate crash and the ensuing stock market crash (again, as early as 2006.) He has continually stayed on record regarding the devastation caused by the U.S.'s Trade DEFECIT (NOT "DEBT,") and defies ANY economist to dispute the fact that it is the SOLE cause of our economic woes, and further - that incestuous relationships between "Wall St., Federal and State governments, and foreign countries (85% CHINA and OPEC) not only "tolerate" this blight, but ENCOURAGE IT. He blames these positions on the apparent "curse" that he can still do math (unlike most of Congress.) He calls for America to give the Libertarians a chance (Ron Paul in 12,) with the simple slogan, "We can't do worse." Finally, he holds the Bush family solely responsible for $500 billion per year in Trade Deficit (again, he can do math.) When Bush I took office, gas was .99 per gallon - when Bush II left, it was almost $4.00. His solutions? "Lobbying" OUTLAWED; MANDATED FAIR POLLING, Holding ALL PUBLIC "SERVANTS" TO TREBLE HIGHER STANDARDS WITH REGARD TO HONESTY AND TRULY AND ACCURATELY REPRESENTING THE WISHES OF THEIR RESPECTIVE CONSTITUENCIES. "It's not "DEMOCRACY" that has failed us - it's CAPITALISM UNCHECKED WITHIN "DEMOCRACY."

I am a married father of two living the American dream, while fighting to save it from the creep of an entitlement generation and DC crony capitalism. I am hoping we can get this country back on the right track so I can sleep at night, and not fear as I do for my children's future. Even the distraction of sports, which used to be an obsession, is fleeting. I don't enjoy focusing so much on the politics of our time, but I firmly believe in the phrase, "Those who fail to get involved in politics will be governed by their inferiors." I am not wealthy by any means, I am part of what politicians consider middle class. Somehow we are always hurt most, despite the claim that it is the rich they tend to soak. I just want The America I grew up in back, so I can enjoy life again. I'll work hard to build my own future, and ask you do the same. This country is about opportunity, not shared sacrifice.

I am college student who works part-time. I intend to become a history teacher, due to my unbound interest in the realms of American History and 20th Century European History, as well as political science. On top of this I study economics and philosophy. One may wonder about my views, I am neither Republican or Democrat, I am strictly for freedom through capitalism and individualism. With that said I am also an atheist, but who defends all 1st amendment rights. I was born in Miami and grew up in St. Louis. For the longest time I always wanted to be a writer, but took up the path towards education and always keep writing as a hobby.

A PhD student in a Business School who wishes to take over the world, the "Stewie Griffin" way. ^_^ Just a curious lad who loves capitalism and the sauvy deals and money making opportunities our free and united states provide!

Born in Cuba, educated in Germany. After WWII became a teenage spy for the US in Soviet occupied East Germany. After 2 years of this clandestine activity, returned to my native country. Continued my education at the University of Havana. Prior to Castro's takeover, legally immigrated to the US arriving with limited resources. Employed by American Airlines and within four years was one of few selected for AA's new Data Processing organization to develop and implement the first commercial interactive communications system in the world, AA's famous SABRE system, the foundation of the current on-line systems. By the end of the sixties, was chosen to head up the SABRE organization in Tulsa, OK. Concurrently, worked for the FBI as an undercover operative exposing Castro inspired activities intended to harm our country. Recruited by the banking industry to recreate a similar computer environment as that used by the airlines, using my innovative and technically challenging concepts. Became a top bank executive at one of the 10 largest banks in the world. Subsequently retained by a Computer Services Co. to become their President & CEO. Retired early from this position to add medical expertise to my broad portfolio in order to become a 24/7 professional caregiver for my wife. She suffers from the severest form of Multiple Sclerosis, which has resulted in her becoming a quadriplegic. I have dedicated over 24 years to this complex job. While gaining my expertise in this intriguing field, I did consulting work for American Airlines and right after the first Gulf War was retained by the premier Saudi Arabian bank, Arab National Bank in Riyadh as their Head of Operations and Chief Technologist. I published my autobiography titled "Intrigue, Capitalism, Love - My True Story" and a second book titled "Caregiving-My Story-Your Guide." I am listed in Who's Who in the World, in America and in Science and Engineering.

I am a wife and a mother first and an avid political writer second.... I do not subscribe to the belief in government expansion "for the greater good." I believe in smaller government - less taxes - and capitalism. I also believe we cannot afford to be a strategically weak nation at this point in history. I believe in a strong defense but I am NOT an advocate for war although I am one who believes that the practice of ethnic cleaning or GENOCIDE should absolutely not, for ANY reason, be tolerated and I DO believe in force in these situations. Politically, I am a conservative and no fan of Barack Obama and the current plans in Congress. Obama campaigned on the biggest platform of lies ever told in the race for a US President and I question his motives especially in his need to move so quickly and aggressively in the expansion of the government's role OVER private industry, banking and healthcare and more. I respect the opinions of all and believe that as a Constitutional Republic, we should all be discussing the course of this nation and what is currently occurring with constant communication. I am one of four daughters of a Marine and a nurse, with a Catholic upbringing and a strong sense of moral and ethical responsibility. I love my country, my husband, my children, my adopted pets, my family and my FREEDOM. I consider myself an avid reader and writer and do not shy away from political or religious discussions as I am not easily offended when others disagree with me - that's the beauty of debates and discussions. SOMETIMES another perspective can change a mind - mine included! My articles are written from a conservative perspective and I would encourage anyone who enjoys what they read to visit my personal blog at www.viewpointright.com I will always remember that it is FREEDOM of speech that allows us to be as honest with one another as we are and it is also the very FREEDOM that is in greatest jeapordy in the USA right now.

I am a student of life. My time is spent writing articles and prose, as well as writing, recording, and performing music. I am heavily involved in the field of Psychology. Capitalism and organized religion are the sources of all my discontent.

Transformation of our education and workforce systems continues to gain momentum as the primary catalyst towards economic opportunity, revitalization and sustainability in the U.S. The evolving social change and the resulting workforce, collaborative and educational entrepreneurship models that are empowering new 21st Century shifts in paradigm, while encompassing conscious capitalism, will surely gain favor as we migrate to improve asset-based community development. Mr. Bowman has been involved with several successful start-up companies dating back to the early 1980's and has been instrumental in the development and deployment of multiple proprietary systems for communication and technology innovators.
