Dear Fellow American,
We are all keenly aware that virtually everyone in the middle class and poor is having a harder and harder time maintaining the quality of life because of the growing income inequality in America. A short time ago I [called, mailed, emailed] went to visit our United States Senator/Congressman_________________. I shared with him/her how important it was for him/her to read the new bestselling book, “THE 3rd WAY: the solution to income inequality” and get back to me in writing if they would also strongly support the specific initiatives outlined in the book. I was very pleased to receive a letter of strong support for the concepts and initiatives outlined in this fine book. The Representative went so far as to say he/she would either sponsor, or co-sponsor any legislative idea that embodies the essential ideas of this book.
I, and most of those I associate with, realize we are living in the most challenging times and need strong, decisive action that will produce positive, fundamental economic changes for the better. Therefore, I felt I must alert every other American of this excellent stance by our Representative in Congress.
In addition to this open letter, I will continue to do everything in my power by telling everyone I know – friends, relatives, co-workers, acquaintances – and everyone I can reach by any means through every form of broadcast, print and social media that our Senator/Congressman DOES support a practical way for the middle class and poor to acquire the desperately needed capital to resolve this most troubling and worsening income inequality situation.
Now that we have been educated via this great book, I and everyone I can communicate with will support all candidates, regardless of the party, that espouse and take demonstrable action to strongly promote the issue of inclusive capitalism and economic democracy.

Dear Fellow American,
We are all keenly aware that virtually everyone in the middle class and poor is having a harder and harder time keeping up because of the growing income inequality gap in our country. A short time ago I [called, mailed, emailed] went to visit our United States Senator/Congressman_____________________. I shared with him/her how important it was for them to read the new bestselling book, “THE 3rd WAY: the solution to income inequality” and get back to me in writing if they would also strongly support such an important initiative. Most unfortunately, I received back a tepid response. These times do not call for tepid measures! Therefore, I feel I must alert every other voter of this most appalling situation with our Representative in Congress. Someone like this, essentially indifferent to the economic struggles of their constituents does not deserve to represent us.
Therefore, I will do everything in my power by telling everyone I know – friends, relatives, co-workers, acquaintances – and everyone I can reach by all means through every form of broadcast, print and social media that he/she does NOT support a practical way for the middle class and poor to acquire the desperately needed capital to resolve the most troubling and worsening income inequality situation. I, and everyone I can communicate with, will support any candidate, regardless of party, that espouses the issue of inclusive capitalism and economic democracy – especially in the primary election.
