Dear CCI Friends,
Let us move our minds away from partisan politics and think of ways we can heal the gaping social wounds around us. Regardless of who wins this 2020 election, we are a nation in decline being hit by numerous plagues including isolation, homelessness, joblessness, street crimes, poor quality education for our masses, a grossly out-of-balance economy with zillionnaires on one end, while hoards of Americans with multiple illnesses and addictions are living on sidewalks and under our 8-lane highway overpasses. Our societal challenges today go on and on endlessly.
We in America are not who we thought we were!
Let’s face it.We have squandered trillions of U.S. dollars on tragic and unsuccessful wars all across the globe and have failed our own people in the process.
How can we take the power away from the Military Industrial Complex and institute programs that will heal our nation? Our problems aren’t because of Russia or China or the Middle East! Our ingrained, decades-long problems are of our own making. How can we do a turnaround and survive?
Let’s not blame the current situation on whoever wins the 2020 election. Let us all face ourselves and get to creating solutions that will pull us out of this immediate reality! What can I do? What can you do?

Either way, this election will be the biggest emotional blow that America has suffered in decades
November 1, 2020
By Michael Snyder
In my entire lifetime, I have never seen Americans so emotionally invested in the outcome of a presidential election. Yes, things always get intense as we approach Election Day, but this time around is different. There are many Democrats that do not even want to imagine another four years under Trump. In fact, for many of them it is literally the worst thing that they could possibly imagine ever happening. But for many Republicans, a Trump loss would be equally as devastating. Not since the days of Ronald Reagan have we ever seen Republicans adore a president the way that they love Trump, and a loss would be emotionally crippling for millions of them.
With all of that in mind, check out what one shocking new survey just discovered…
As if the coronavirus pandemic wasn’t giving Americans enough anxiety already, you may have heard there’s a presidential election this November. With political divisions reaching historical highs, a survey finds a majority of the country believe their most stressful day of 2020 hasn’t even arrived yet. The poll examining mental health reveals 55 percent of Americans think Election Day 2020 will be the most stress-filled day of their lives.
There is so much at stake for both sides.
Once a winner is officially declared, one side will be jubilant, but the other will instantly plunge into deep despair.
