Our vision honors the past by carrying forward
the American values upon which this country was founded and looks forward
into a near future when people of every gender, race, political and
religious affiliation will let go of artificial divisions, empower
themselves and cooperate with one another. Together we have the resources
and determination to build a society that honors our interdependence
with each other and our world, and that truly speaks to the hearts,
minds and concerns of each of us.
The vision of the Centrust Paradigm is best
expressed as a series of visions, each of which we feel is attainable.
We believe these goals have power because they speak to the real
needs of large segments of our society and are well supported by
various organizations and grassroots movements now developing all
over the country. We will create a network that will coalesce these
various organizations and movements from every field to help bring
these visions into reality.
The vision of
a government based upon truth, integrity and transparency—a
government that is in alignment with, and provides a model
for values that are lived in every sector of society.
The vision of elected
representatives and public officials who serve justice
and the common good of the country and the people, beyond
the influence of monied special interests.
The vision of an educational system, open to all, that
serves the common good by nurturing creativity, welcoming
the gifts of diversity and stretching the intellectual
boundaries of our youth in order to produce a truly
educated and enlightened citizenry.
The vision of a healthcare system that provides affordable
and accessible healthcare to all, at far less cost than the
current system.
The vision of a national consciousness where the desire to
preserve the world's dwindling natural resources for future
generations becomes a driving force in the creation of a sustainable
society.
The vision of a society where people recognize the value in
diversity and the wisdom in being open to differing points
of view.
The vision of tens of millions of citizens working together
in groups and communities to find and implement creative solutions
to local, state, national and world challenges.
The vision of America once again taking its place as a beacon
of freedom and justice in the world and a shining example of
democracy in action.
