Don Dickinson is a retired US Army Colonel of Infantry, a retired businessman, and a retired educator. He has seen the world, read its history, killed our enemies, and connected many of the decisive dots woven into the fabric of reality. He believes that America is in deep trouble but the way out of our perilous times is to rediscover the best ideas and ways of thinking that got us to the pinnacle of American greatness. We have been badly deceived and it is time to take off the blinders of nice and get on with the values, critical thinking, and true knowledge that will restore American greatness.

Doug Rink is a former news reporter and assignment editor. Many of the stories he's covered over the past 30 years have become woven into our modern history. Doug's also involved in real estate, and has seen first hand the impact of the real estate bubble and the subsequent blows suffered by many when the bubble burst. Doug believes trends can be spotted. Dots connected. These things - bubbles and busts - need not take us by surprise. Many things Americans continue to take for granted are not sustainable. We must return to reality. The days of passive citizenship must end. America needs  people who are engaged, and who are willing to make a difference.
