One Dream

"Be the change you wish to see."

About Me

One Dream is an effort to bring sanity to our political system and restore progressive thinking into politics on a local, state, and national level.
Nothing is more powerful than when people come together and realize the potential of their collective energy. When combined with others with similar goals, individuals become energized with a sense of community and commit to bringing about change for the betterment of themselves, their groups or family, and the betterment of humankind as a whole.
We are not looking for unanimous consent on every issue. A good rule is that we don't have to always agree, especially if we have an underlying belief in kindness, honesty, service, and progressive change.
If people who believe in these ideas choose to connect together, their power for good multiplies, and their political power expands exponentially.
Citizenship and community involvement is critical in creating change. If enough of us come together and exert our influence in the political process, this will eventually cause parties on both sides to shift and make policy that reflects our collective desire.
This is why we ask you to become our friend. We hope to establish a presence in Idaho of people who want to see change at almost all levels toward a more responsive government. With blogs, bulletins and messages, we will keep people informed of ideas and issues, establishing discussions and creating dialogue. Hopefully in the end, come election day there will be opportunities to put our efforts into practice and influence things toward those who reflect our ideas and issues.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Progressive thinkers of all ages, races, genders, creeds, and any other category that isn't here listed.

Independent thinking people, young and old alike, who want to participate with others who see current political trends as faulty, divisive, and in need of change.

Heroes:
