Millennials hold the power to change the World. The question is, do they realize they can take the reins of power unlike any youth movement in American history?

Baby boomers, mostly the hippies, challenged power in the late Sixties. They changed the course of the Vietnam War policy. They emphasized the importance of nature and climate when they celebrated the first Earth Day. They advocated lifestyle freedom, rallied around Women’s Rights, solidly backed Civil Rights and the rights of women to decide their own reproductive rights. They actively preferred cannabis over alcohol which may have been how they created computer and software that became the basis of the Internet and digital media. They did this without the political power that Millennials have access to in 2018.

I believe Millennials have the instinct and the social will to change the world for the better and accomplish greater achievements of humanity than the Boomers. I trust their choices and the independence they have carved out during this incredible period of forced political compliance. The question is will they realize their power at this critical time? With only four weeks until a very important election, they can decide their future and take control of their and my political future.

M1 is about Millennial First

At first the idea of a Millennial First political solution would seem mad. And to be completely transparent, it is not an attractive idea for many particularly Gen X’ers. But it should and must be the path forward starting with electing candidates like Beto O’Rourke.

Baby Boomers and Millennials have much more in common with Millennials than the Gen X Yuppie money grubbing racist white trash sellouts that drove the 2008 Great Recession. They need America to be great. They need to be great because they didn’t do much more than suck out the value of art and intellectual curiosity out of our country for 20 years. They have fought and died for America, and there are heroes among them we must never forget. But in large part Gen X’ers are to blame for where we are today. They ignore climate change. They ignore organic and healthy food. They ignore racism. They ignore spirituality as religion. They ignore the voice of the people regarding Net Neutrality. They’ve built their house on hate. And, as a result we have disintergrating infrastructure, crumbling roads and bridges, a fully dysfunctional government and dilution of American leadership. Because of their incompetence military and healthcare budgets don’t return high levels of effectiveness. As a result, we are being cheated out of the money we spend on these important parts of the economy and a more American life of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Usefulness. And, it would seem we are still being sold down the river by many of Gen X’ers, not to corporate interests but to our cultural and international enemies.

Millennials should realize this is the moment, the pivot point, that may be most important moment in their lifetime. A time Millennials can and should take control and lead America into the future it deserves...a future of world leadership not enforcing our power on the world but leveraging the power we understand to reduce conflict, feed the hungry, free the enslaved and unify the friendship of the people of Earth.

Taking power in America right now is politically possible if Millennials embrace an M1 rally cry. The momentum of which can engage millennials across America to inspire better and more responsive governments and leadership, starting with our own united states.

Or they can wait...for a time that may never come again.

I trust the culture that Millennials are living and pursuing. It’s global. It’s responsible. It’s in tune with their values that more consistently agree with my values. Millennials won’t sell our soul but are realists to the things that need to be valued…exceptional education, personal freedom, more individual lifestyle options, long life, technology as a intellectual advantage, privacy, agvernment of the people by the people and for the people of the United States…united.

I, for one, am amazed, surprised and thankful Millennials have developed their culture in so many ways that I can trust. It’s time they understood it’s their time to drive their ideas forward.

It’s time for Millennials First !
