About Changeany1Thing

Changeany1thing is about progressive change. The original idea for this site was to make a place for people to share an idea to change things. This was before ObamaMania, before 80% of the US felt things were going in the wrong direction. When progressive change was a badly needed dream, not the - albeit slow - reality we’re seeing take hold.

The idea was to start a movement. But I think we’re starting to see one take form. And that’s fantastic.

Of course living in America during the opening shots of the 21st century is still frustrating - even scary – to anyone who thinks positive change is possible. Even with the new left-leaning feelings, the bad guys seem to be winning, as if trying to undo the twentieth century itself. I’m talking about what’s with the air, the planet, the food we eat, how we teach our kids, the role of the US in the world, the hours we work, the state of our democracy. The way families like mine are heading backwards, overworked, stressed out, strapped. Everywhere, up looks like down.

It was Ronald Reagan who proclaimed that “government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem”, pleasant-sounding words that changed OUR government from protectors of the public good into a tool for a select few. A generation later and corporate influence has invaded every element of our lives. And you’ll wait a long time before one of the two parties does anything about this. Why should they?

It’s time to get some new ideas out there, to keep pushing on the social change we still need. So visit often!
