Thank you, Brandon, for sharing your most recent missive. I very much appreciate your resolve and principled approaches to being in the world and for conducting yourself as a sovereign citizen. In many ways, your approach is parallel to my own. I, too, have withdrawn from many systems in what you have correctly identified as our imperialist, colonialist, and corporatist powers. While I have more withdrawing to do in the days and months ahead, I have made many of the sacrifices that you have identified as necessary in order to “walk the talk” of my convictions and commit myself to the vision that I share with you and others who are no longer willing to continue sleep walking into greater and more destructive local, regional, national, and global calamities.

Perhaps when you are in D.C. we can meet for a bite to eat Ora cup of coffee. As you may know, in mid-November of last year, I relocated to the D.C. area. So, I am here if you and Susan Lucci have some flexibility in your itinerary during your visit to D.C.
