Dearest Friends,

I am refocusing on the path that has been the principal work of most of my adult working life with a new sense of purpose in difficult economic times. In the coming months, I will be writing about the financial issues that greatly affect us all with a focus on both the government’s responsibility to avert economic crisis and the actions you can take to better protect your financial future and that of your families.

There is much to fear, but in all the past critical phases I’ve lived through, either I have found ways to prosper, or I have known folks who overcame the circumstances of our times in order to make things happen in a positive way.  I will combine the strength of relationships I have built over the past several decades in my governmental affairs work with a tremendous array of resources and experts in all areas of financial and benefits planning that I have at my disposal within reach of a phone call or a few clicks of a mouse.

We’re in this together. Some of what I publish will be harrowing, but I will always temper that with specific instructions for action. Here are words I’ve lived by: If you don’t like the laws, change them and if you don’t like the news, make something positive happen in your own life or the lives of your loved ones. I am living proof that one person can have tremendous power to change the world around us.

Remember these words: What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31 – English Standard Version)
