Return to a Decent, Normal America

Let’s Unite For Change….Today

Time to Decide–Welcome. If you honestly believe that the current POTUS strives to unite and lead on behalf of all Americans, concur that it’s fine for a U.S. president to pursue and accept a king’s crown, that there’s no harm in ignoring the Constitution and the rule of law, remain silent or otherwise support the president when he makes outrageous comments or excuse his other negative behavior (see below), and generally approve of his first year in office, then this site probably isn’t the place for you.

However, whether you are a Democrat, Republican, Independent, or Uncertain, you may have concerns regarding the country’s status quo. Perhaps you are concerned about the government shutdown, mass deportations, unscientific health policies, America’s fragile relationships with other countries, the dramatic rise in nationalism, erratic decisions by Cabinet members, the potential of using the military to quash peaceful protests, the ongoing stream of lies, and of course, our not so gradual evolution from a Democracy to an authoritarian regime. You feel strongly that we need to work together to Help Make America tolerant, inclusive, ethical, honest, rational, and less divisive again. That we need to protect our Democracy. If so, you should feel at home here.

Recent Achievements

     A few recent, disturbing acts of the current “president”:

   *Adding insulting/erroneous statements to the biographies beneath the photos of Presidents Obama, Clinton and Biden (using a picture of an autopen rather than the customary portrait) as part of the WH’s Presidents Gallery. Of course, he wrote glowing, and also fictional, descriptions of his own tenure.

  *Insulting Rob Reiner and falsely claiming that the beloved director and his wife were murdered because of his anti-Trump criticism, rather than it being an extremely unfortunate and sad family tragedy.

    *Announcing that he had “truckloads” of evidence that Biden stole the 2020 election.

     The typical responses of his most ardent supporters have been “He tells it like it is” and “That’s just Trump being Trump.” We can no longer tolerate such BS excuses.

     The goal of this site is not to criticize those who voted a certain way in 2024. What’s done is done. Rather, our purpose is to emphasize that it’s still not too late to take action and make a difference. It’s understandable that you feel individuals/average citizens have no control over what is happening in Washington, D.C. and elsewhere. But that’s not true. We can all take small steps to support Democracy and Help Make America a more Decent and Normal country again. The incredible turnout to this year’s Hands-Off protests and No Kings Day demonstrations, and the positive results from the various state elections on November 4, prove that a significant number of Americans are dissatisfied with the current “state of the union” and are willing to take a stand. Our individual actions do make a difference and are having an impact.

     Please review the Pages above for additional information and resources. The What Can We Do? page is especially important–as you consider the ways to get involved in this ever-expanding movement to restore normalcy to our country. And if you’re already aware of these and other potential action steps, you can share the information with others who may look for some direction.

Two more notes:

*Mid-Term Election Page–We have added a 2026 Midterm Elections page to this site (see above menu). It includes suggested actions and resources to help prepare for the November 4, 2026 midterms. Please share with others. We will continue to update it with other information.

*Peaceful Protests—The successful and peaceful “No Kings Day” of 2025 and other demonstrations by millions of Americans showed their disapproval of the King/POTUS actions and our shift to authoritarianism at more than 2200 locations across the country. Another such protest is planned for early 2026.

     We’d love to hear from you. If you have a suggestion for how other people can be involved in the struggle to maintain our democracy, please share it on the Comments page. Check back regularly for updates. (12/23/25)

Wishing you good health, joy and peaceful resistance in the New Year and beyond.
