"This article was a wonderful reminder of how much we really do need and how having a lot more cargo and cash doesn't give our lives meaning. At this fraught time, this identity crisis our country is going through, I wish for us all to be grateful for what we have and find a way for everyone in our country to have enough to feel safe, sheltered, nourished and maybe even happy."
"I am heartened by recent bipartisan efforts in Congress. The Fix Our Forests Act (FOFA) passed in the House with yes votes from Reps. Zoe Lofgren, Sam Liccardo, Jimmy Panetta, Kevin Mullin plus Tom McClintock. When it comes up for its next vote, I hope Sen. Schiff helps FOFA co-sponsor Sen. Padilla pass it. If enacted, FOFA will protect lives, property, public health, our forests and will reduce carbon emissions that result from raging wildfires."
Gratitude for what people already have is urged despite political and social division. Money and excess possessions do not provide lasting meaning or happiness, and many lack basic security. The letters call for ensuring everyone has enough to feel safe, sheltered, and nourished, and for redirecting spending away from unnecessary expenditures such as ballrooms and ballistics. Recent bipartisan congressional action on the Fix Our Forests Act (FOFA) is noted as a positive example. FOFA passed the House with bipartisan support and is expected to protect lives, property, public health, forests, and reduce wildfire-related carbon emissions if enacted.
