Saying only a traditional politician can lead the country is like saying only an allopathic doctor can heal our bodies. In fact, nutritionists, acupuncturists, therapists and other wellness professionals often do more to cultivate health. We need an integrative model of politics.

Yes! But when it comes to the state of our economy and our planet, in too many ways it was not...
The conversation that prevails within our politics is so disconnected from our deep humanity that what should uplift us instead dispirits us. We have to change the conversation before we can change the country. Calling all philosophers, healers, artists - your country needs you!

Just tweaking things on the outside will not be enough to repair this country. It’s not enough to water the leaves, we have to water the roots of our democracy. The best car mechanic doesn’t necessarily know what road will take you to your destination.

America has forgotten its mission statement. We’ve lost sight of our core reason for being, the highest aspirations of democracy & deep human values that matter most. That’s the causal level of our dysfunction & someone who knows how to address that is the most qualified to lead.

There's consciously chosen timing, and then there's timing that arises from alignment with the deeper rhythm of audaciously spoken, fierce and authentic truth. The former is so old and stale. And it has gotten us nowhere.

Why do Dems so often feel they can't say what they really mean?This only makes us appear disingenuous, which in such cases is what we're being. Twisting your language to suit what you think others want to hear doesn't work. If people don't like it, have some spine & say it again!

Tho politics can be a dirty business, it’s nothing compared to how dirty this world will become if we don’t fundamentally disrupt the pattern of our political dysfunction. I’ve been working in the transformational field for 35 years; glad to now focus on transforming politics.

There is nothing I’m talking about in this campaign that violates the Separation of Church and State. Public morality, values and ethics are not religious dogma or doctrine. And I look forward to coming back to Detroit!

The Taliban’s violently oppressive attitude toward women isn’t something we can change, but we should be led by a president whose concern for the well-being of Afghani women is a major factor in determining our policies there. We should always bear witness to the agony of others.

Please see the National Security section at marianne2020.com “How do we pay for it?” is a question we’re never to ask about a $2 trillion tax cut that is a giveaway to the very wealthiest, or $2 trillion war that turns out to be the worst blunder in foreign policy history.
