ABOUT US
I (John French) have, for two decades or so, tilted at a number of windmills -- mostly what would be considered as being intractable issues -- such as, Palestine and Israel (advocating dialogue via video conference with groups of citizens on each side and translators -- my tikkun olam dialogue project) and fixing the Dodd-Frank Act via amendment (reform that was considered by some experts as “bank-approved” reform, which did not sufficiently address some very significant flaws in the regulatory infrastructure and would allow another financial crisis to occur). My most recent windmill: urging citizens to educate themselves regarding the U.S. Supreme Court’s unconscionable campaign-finance jurisprudence, which was inspired by Rob Hager’s book, “Strategy for Democracy…” (a very long book title that I always truncate and then tell folks that, if they Google the author’s name and the truncated title, the link to this book (free/on the internet) will appear at the top of the search results). My wife (for all of these years and a few more), Brenda, has now given up and joined me in my pursuit of a more perfect union (and world) in our latest mission: our Fight for Our Freedoms campaign (and, this time, there is hope, now that there is actually considerable support -- even in Congress -- for checking SCOTUS, now that the current Court majority has grown to a super majority and their absolute, unchecked power has corrupted them to the point, as many experts now agree, that they currently pose a clear and present danger to American democracy and the rule of law (see Note, below) ).
