The Return2Respect Movement

Return2Respect.com is a national movement to help restore respect across the country. We are asking our elected officials to help us by maintaining an air of respect and decorum, working together for the good of the country and in this way giving us better role models for returning to respect.

I'm one of the old timers who created this movement. We've been around long enough to see the power of and the need for respect. There is nothing to be gained by being divided. We've been going down hill for some time now. I ask this: Look at where we are headed. Do you really want to go there? If not, join us in the goal of bringing the word "respect" forward as the hallmark for 2024 and beyond. If we can get the word "respect" into our minds, our hearts and our souls we'll be headed in a more positive direction then.

While we are all old time activists, we sought more up to date advice and critiques from a wide range of experts.

Debilyn Molineaux, long time networker, past President and co-founder of the Bridge Alliance, creator and head of AmericanFuture.us and Terrified Nation podcasts; Walt Roberts, change management consultant and head of the Inter-Movement Impact Project for a Healthy Democracy serving multiple groups; and John Steiner, a life-time networker, transpartisan (bridging the divides) leader and creative consultant, co-founder of Search for Common Ground, a Director at the Boulder Institute and advisor to Business for America and Listen First, have been particularly involved. Their endorsements for this movement are on our webpage.

There are others, too - business leaders, instructional writers, media developers, transpartisan leaders, and so forth, who have met and continue to advice us.

Will you help? All we ask is that you send us some photos for our Tip your Hat for Respect Movement. If you don't have a hat, do a thumbs up or casual salute to respect. When you visit our webpage, you can also sign on to our petition.

We are not a fund raiser - but we need to cover expenses for materials and mailings so a small donation would be welcome. We'll even send you some stickers then with our thank you. But the most important thing is the photos. Power in numbers after all.

Here's to a more positive future, thank you.
