5. WE CONTINUE to follow the course of the 2015 CONSTITUTIONALISTS CHARTER. Available now are 40 accumulated reports and papers aiding us in the communication of this initiative and all it implies for a new involvement by people in a far healthier application of a political economy of global housekeeping. Our London Global Table is a vital enabling partner in this ‘principled pragmatic’ initiative focused first on the Election in May 2015 – now but five months away. The Manifesto is available in its latest draft.
Please revisit the questions below. Only 15 of our 197 associates have replied. Yet this is the most promising indication of our collaborative potential in all the 18 years of our existence. If all recipients reply, we will have a significant understanding of the way forward. If you feel insufficiently informed of the project to answer, then let me know and I will send the introductory Package.
