All of these ideas are nothing but words if people don't take action to implement new policies. Most of us have spent our entire lives wanting things to be different while at the same time believing there is nothing we can do to change things. After all, what can one person without money and power do to fight against those who have it? Pretty much nothing.

But that situation has changed now. People around the world are rising up and demanding an end to social and economic injustice. Many thousands have already died for this cause. They died for our right to live in a fair and just society, for your rights, and the longer it takes to transform the world the higher the body count will be.

I'm not asking you to die for the cause. In fact, I encourage people to avoid situations where that is a real possibility. Demonstrations can send a powerful message, both to those in power and to those who discover that others share their same desire for change. But there are many other ways we can affect change without risking our lives or physical wellbeing. These include strikes, boycotts, sit-ins, sick-outs, civil disobedience, letter writing and simply spreading the word. Wearing a button, bumper stickers or signs placed in car windows, etc., can all help to remind people that the time for change has come.

The following is a list of suggestions you can pick from to help change the world, and if enough of us act together the world will change.

Look for videos on Netflix, You Tube, PBS.org and other video sites that describe what is going on in the world and how our current laws affect us.

Seek out books that discuss politics from the point of view of the people.

Tell your friends you want to throw a party to discuss what each of you can do to help change the world. Look for notices in the 'community' section at craigslist.com or in local free papers to see if other groups are already forming in your area, or post announcements of your own for informal meetings at coffee shops or parks. You can also find or post notices at coffee shops and on college campuses.

Use social networking sites to discover what other people are thinking and doing and as a way to coordinate activities.

There are plenty of people online and in your community who share your desire for change. If you look, you will find them, and working with others will make it clear that you aren't alone.

We can show them how much we appreciate their behavior by taking our money out of the big national and international banks and putting it instead in small local banks and credit unions, which generally have lower fees as well. If enough of us do that, the big banks won't be so big anymore, and that will help prevent our needing to bail them out again.

If people stop buying gasoline from one oil company, that company will be forced to lower their price to encourage people to break the boycott. This will in turn force other oil companies to lower their prices in order to compete. The boycott will end once prices fall below $2 per gallon. If the price goes back up before the year 2015, the boycott starts up again.

Note that this boycott would only apply to fuel. Most convenience stores are small mom and pop operations who depend on sales inside the store for most of their income, and these people deserve our continued support.

Exxon-Mobil sells fuel through numerous retail outlets including Exxon, Mobil, Esso, some On The Run stations and many others. You may need to ask employees at convenience stores in your area which company supplies their fuel.

Lower fuel prices should not delude anyone into thinking we are not headed for a devastating decline in oil production, but short of manipulation by the oil industry, the supply should last long enough to keep fuel prices low for several more years. In the meantime we should move quickly toward developing more sources of renewable energy.

We all know that only a Democrat or Republican can be elected President because the media deliberately ignores everyone else running for office. We don't want to waste our vote, so we have to choose the lesser of two evils. But, if we use the write-in space on the ballot we can also vote for a different Vice President.

Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to introduce the next Vice President of the United States, Ima Dreamer!

Ima Dreamer is a fictional character who doesn't exist, but he or she represents the political ideas expressed in this book. A vote for Ima Dreamer is a vote for these ideas, and the number of people voting for these ideas will be made clear at the next national election. If a reporter or pollster happens to ask who you intend to vote for, be sure to tell them Ima Dreamer for Vice President, even if they don't ask that particular question.

Short of direct interference from the powerful elite, if millions of people vote for Ima Dreamer the media will be unable to ignore such results. The whole world will become aware of how popular these ideas are. If similar elections are held in other parts of the world, where people can still vote for who they want in important political office but have a chance to vote for Ima Dreamer elsewhere, that would make a statement across the globe.

So please tell your friends to write-in Ima Dreamer for Vice President of the United States during the next election. Just remember BOTH President and Vice President must be indicated by write-in votes -- otherwise both votes may be discarded if you simply check off a listed pair of candidates and also make a write-in selection.
