ONLINE THINK TANKS

Grassoots America is now actively designing and collaborating plans to rival the Republican think tanks that started in 1980 with the Reagan Administration. Here's a look at a group of 40 members in it's infancy. This online organization is one of the first of its kind in an era where think tank masteminds like Karl Rove almost singlehandly influence national and international policy in our nation.

Our country is divided. How can 'we the people' come together? We know that we are oppressed but cannot rise above politics to create a leadership that is responsive to the will of the people. Are we running out of ways to shape policy in our favor? We speak, we write, we protest....but in the end the policies never change.

How much power do we have? SIRIAN NATION is the foundation of our realization of our collective power. We can waste our time arguing. We can change the channel. We can reason with the Neocons. Or we can create our own plan of attack.

Think tanks offer an alternative to debate. They emphasize cooperation over confrontation. Our two-party system has divided the ruling classes from the populace. We the people waste our time and energy arguing with one another. We choose sides and lose sight of our collective interest.

At SIRIAN NATION we believe we can contribute to the betterment of society. We are only 40 people. But you have to ask yourself, 'How many people did it take to write the Constitution of the United States?

Great minds can accomplish great goals.
