NEW YEAR RESOLUTION

Submitted to Shelton Blog by John Cox and Christine Armond

Keep the Light Burning Brightly!

As we approached the holidays this season, it appeared to be looking darker. But, the light still shines through each and every citizen who is willing to continue to oppose the grand plan of those who worship the Almighty Dollar.

Our 2011 New Year resolution as concerned citizens is:

At least once, everyday, we will act in a manner, however small the act, to subvert the dominance of the corporations. This is not hard to do. It is primarily a matter being conscious of our actions...and being conscious of how we feed the machine by our unconscious choices.

• We can choose to eat at home with family or friends instead of going to a local corporate fast food joint.
  
• We can choose to not shop at corporate monopoly stores whenever possible.
  
• We can turn off the TV and read a book or meet with friends instead.
• We can have a conversation with a homeless person and discover that we are not so different.
• We can support others who are willing to put themselves at risk for a good cause.
• We can speak the truth and support others who speak the truth.
  
• We can protest and demonstrate against those who would embrace the dark for a pittance.
  
• Etc.

We urge everyone to join us in similar resolutions so we can keep the light burning brightly.
