How are we to effective deal with the myriad of social challenges that face our community? I feel that our inability to be less emotional, and more scientific in our approach to collective development, has created a challenge which must be overcome, in order to realize the positive change, that is desperately needed among our people. I propose that we implement a systematic and intergenerational process, dedicated to building and maintaining supportive relationships within our community. We must remember , "The System is the Solution". The monthly power plan of "10-10-50", is our tool for building perpetual energy, which gives us the ability to gain greater control, of our politics, economics, and cultural lives. 10-10-50 must become "The Standard of Community Service", and with President Obama in particular, setting the tone and being the example of a community organizer. We should learn from him, and heed his call for each of us to more engaged in the work of group development. It begins with self-improvement, which is the basis of collective empowerment.
