Creating a USA Charter
Purpose: To create a working document that lays out the important relationship commitments between the members of the USA community. It is to be used as a guideline for each of us to continue to build relationships and manage commitments that were agreed upon or need to be enhanced. How do we talk and work together as a community. Finding the good in each of us and not the HATE.

Approach:
Aristotle
wrote: over 2000 years ago
Galea, Sandro. Well (p. 33). Oxford University Press |
Every state is a community of some kind, and every community is established with a view to some good; for everyone always acts in order to obtain that which they think good. But, if all communities aim at some good, the state or political community, which is the highest of all, and which embraces all the rest, aims at good in a greater degree than any other, and at the highest good.

If
we’re to come together as a nation, we all need to elevate
ourselves. We need to find a way to talk to each other if
we’re to have any chance of bridging divides.
We need to allow ourselves to see our tribal adversaries as fellow Americans, engaged in a common enterprise. Those who are worried about terrorism should be able to express that worry without being branded an Islamophobe. Those who view America’s seismic demographic changes and massive influx of immigrants with anxiety should be able to express that anxiety without being branded a racist.
Transformational population
change is dislocating, and diversity has costs. But we’ve been
through this before. Over and over, throughout American history,
waves of new immigrants have come to our shores, always met with
suspicion and fear that the nation’s character will be
endangered, its streets made unsafe, its values lost. Every
time, we’ve overcome this fear, prospered, and grown stronger. |

Dreams are not real, but they can be made so. The American Dream is a promise of freedom and hope for every individual on these shores. But it is also a call on all of us to make true the myths we tell ourselves about what America has always been. | More than anyone else,
Langston Hughes was the poet of this dream.
In his 1935 poem “Let America
Be America Again,” he writes: Let America be the dream the
dreamers dreamed— Let it be that great strong land of love. But
then a second voice enters: (It never was America to me.) The
first voice replies: Say, who are you that mumbles in the dark?
And the second answers: I am the poor white, fooled and pushed
apart, I am the Negro bearing slavery’s scars. I am the red man
driven from the land, I am the immigrant clutching the hope I
seek— And finding only the same old stupid plan Of dog eat dog,
of mighty crush the weak. But far from concluding with defeat,
Hughes offers a prayer and an affirmation: O, let America be
America again— The land that never has been yet— And yet must
be—the land where every man is free. . . . O, yes, I say it
plain, America never was America to me, And yet I swear this
oath— America will be! Acknowledgments |
