The author of the book,
"Good-bye, America?" and the designer and writer of this web site is this fellow called Jonathan West. He has
also been involved in a number of other activities.
He is the originator of "Structured Brainstorming."
He created the first graphic simulation for desk top computers. He is one of the co-founders of the Citizens' Patrols
(that worked with the local P.D.) in Southern California. He is a member of the Pacific Beach Town Council. He hosts
an extremely popular space science web site that he has established, with the cooperation of NASA.
He also likes to ice skate, sculpt and dance
with his lovely wife. But all these things are not why the book or this web site happened.
This author has seen some cruel and destructive
things in his lifetime, and he has also been made aware of great and worthy ideals that precious few seem willing to practice
in real life.
All of this and so much more has helped to
form his dedication to a very special dream. It is his hope that America will finally wake up to its finest destiny
--- a destiny of many citizens showing that they truly have courageous hearts and a willingness to make things right for us
all.
Yes, many politicians will spout platitudes
similar to this, but it almost always is all talk and no dedicated follow-through. This writer believes one must be
willing to walk one's talk.
This book and this web site represent examples
of his heartfelt quest. It has cost him untold thousands to bring the book into print and an endless amount of time
and toil to try and bring this message to you.
The question now is, was this a fool's quest
--- a wasted effort --- or can we make this a new beginning for us all?
And, in case you're wondering, this author
is nobody of any great importance. He's not famous. He's not a wealthy dilettante. He also isn't interested
in building some sort of political empire. And he's not on an ego trip.
So, who and what is he? He's a fellow
that's not so much different than most anyone else, but with this dream and a very stubborn streak. And he wants to
know if you will share his dream and join in this worthwhile endeavor.
That means, if you will get involved, he will
do his best to always be there for you. He will help in every way he can. He will do all that is humanly possible
to show you that you are truly not alone.
That's what his book is all about and that's
what this web site is all about. It's brimming with ideas and ways and means. It's also a way of sharing and working
together with others of a like mind.
And please do remember this. If you
will be a part of it, this purpose and worthy effort belongs to you, just as much as to all others who will share it with
you.
How about it? May we welcome you to
a new tomorrow?
