Celebrating July 4th 2024 Sharing Hope and Prayers for A Continued Democracy in America and Sharing A Bold Vision For A United State of Americans

This paragraph is the original statement from 2010. More details on the vision and mission for the Foundation for A United State of Americans are available at https://www.facebook.com/AUnitedStateOfAmericans/ and an outdated webpage at https://foundationforaunitedstateofamericans.org

This Vision Statement is also from 2010 and will be prominently featured during the 2024 Presidential Election in the US.

THE Foundational Principles upon which we as a people and as citizens are UNITED are far more significant and meaningful than any personal, social, economic or political differences, beliefs, opinions, STATES OF mind, disagreements, or divergent perspectives. As Benjamin Franklin said, “The destiny of AMERICA is not power, it is Light”, and the Statue of Liberty is named LIBERTY, ENLIGHTENING THE WORLD!

A United State of Americans

Red, White, Black, Brown or Yellow,

We are all evolving human beings.

Rich, poor, some even entrepreneur,

We live and work in one global economy.

Christian, Jew, Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim or other,

We are all spiritual beings having a human experience.

North, South, East, or West, even in the US Territories,

We move through space together at thousands of miles per hour.

Democrats, Republicans, Independents, or neither,

We are all Americans first, living together in One Nation.

Let us stand together united and not let anything or anyone divide us, As we remember our rich legacy and fulfill our ultimate destiny.

?Charles Betterton 2010

A Declaration of Inner-Dependence and Inter-Dependence

Once again we hold these truths to be self-evident as we collectively remember, honor and fulfill the ultimate destiny entrusted to us as citizens of the United States of America, one nation under God, with Life, Liberty, and Happiness for all.

Our ultimate destiny as citizens is to actualize our inherent potential, individually and collectively, to help empower, enlighten and evolve ourselves, our brothers and sisters and the global community we share that Bucky Fuller referred to as Spaceship Earth.

Our Founding Fathers and Mothers were inspired by inner guidance to establish the foundation upon which inner Wisdom and interdependence could help foster the pursuit, and the realization of Life, Liberty and Happiness for all.

The ultimate destiny of the United States of America is to enlighten, empower and elevate our consciousness to the realization that we are one people, living in one global community, with only one future that we are destined to co-create together.

? Charles Betterton 2010

We developed and have shared this powerful statement in support of racial and cultural diversity and we believe it clearly applies as well to partisan politics in the US.

This mock up cover of a forthcoming book and program suggest that THE Foundational Principles upon which we as a people and as citizens are UNITED are far more significant and meaningful than any personal, social, economic or political differences, beliefs, opinions, STATES OF mind, disagreements, or divergent perspectives for as Benjamin Franklin said, “The destiny of AMERICA is not power, it is Light”.

It presents a possible future vision of a United State of Americans and also issues an invitation, a call to action and a comprehensive Strategic Implementation Matrix? for Expanding the Circle of Success by establishing a network of CAN DO! Community Economic Development Resource Centers for Self-help, Empowerment and Capacity Building. The Resource Centers will educate, equip and enable individuals, organizations and communities to realize more of their potential and expand their capacity to help solve the social, economic and environmental challenges we face together on what Buckminster Fuller referred to as SpaceShip Earth and "betterment for 100% of humanity."

By providing expanded access to development training resources and successful living skills for the 21st Century including infopreneurship individuals, families and communities will be strengthened, jobs will be saved and created, and America will fulfill its ultimate destiny.

This photo from about 2019 represents just a few of the 101 programs, publications, and organizations my associates and I have in various stages of completion that we refer to and introduced initially as Acres of Diamonds In the Rough. Now for the Good of the Whole, we are now seeking additional collaborators, cocreators, coauthors, partners, sponsors, investors, affiliates, etc. to help us complete, polish, and share these positive uplifting resources with other individuals, organizations, and communities as we participate in the Sacred Covenant Unite Humanity. Restore Mother Earth. A few more are introduced at Mindful Successful Living and Ultimate YOUniversity for Successful Living.

These two mock-up book covers were part of our collaborative response to the 2016 MacArthur Foundation 100 Million Dollar RFP to address problems that affect people, places, and planet https://100millionsolutions.com and a few of us are currently exploring possible collaborative responses to their 2024 RFP at https://100andchange.com

This mock-up cover represents our forthcoming programs and publications from our Earthist StewardHeirShip Holon Project within the Holomovement.

The purpose of our Holon Project is to develop programs and publications that help inspire, enable, and empower individuals, organizations, and communities to practice Earth StewardHeirShip as we more effectively honor, protect, and help regenerate Earth, our shared common home. StewardHeirShip encompasses alignment with Spirit, Service, Stewardship, and Conscious Sustainable Living.

We are inspired by the relevance of John B. Cobb, Jr.'s teachings and the Living Earth Movement for International Cooperation, Peace, and Climate Solutions he inspired, their potential to affect a shift in planetary consciousness, and how they could help support the aims of the Holomovement. We incorporate and feature resources from The Love Foundation and The Love Center in our programs and publications whenever appropriate. Just as Ernest Holmes predicted that Love and Cooperation will be discovered as the greatest business principles on earth, we believe they are highly relevant in organizational, community, national, and global leadership.

One of the major platforms where these initiatives are currently available for your participation if you're interested is the ONE World Mighty Network. It is a Deep Beloved Community of Networks Where over 2,000 Individuals and Interconnected Communities Unite to Make a Global, Synergized Impact.?
