The Wiles of Congress

Polls are increasingly reflecting the American voters dissatisfaction with career politicians and corruption. Until not long ago, politics was about serving one's people. Americans chipped in out of passion for U.S. ideals and a real calling to serve the community. The work wasn't easy, politicians didn't make much money, and most...

It was around 8 o'clock in the evening of Feb. 24, 1991, and Arthur Colbert was lost. Most of the rest of the world was focused on the Persian Gulf, where the ground war had begun only hours earlier, but Colbert had a woman on his mind. His date for...

Restorative justice (RJ) is an alternative approach to criminal justice, as its philosophy, values and goals are distinct from our current system. Restorative justice focuses on restoration and healing rather than retribution and punishment. Although there is no single universally accepted definition, restorative justice has been defined as:

Many people seem to believe that America is ruled from behind the scenes by a conspiratorial elite with secret desires, i.e., by a small secretive group that wants to change the government system or put the country under the control of a world government.

Blog Content Ideas for Nonprofit Organizations

There are now over 143 million blogs on the Internet and when I launched Nonprofit Tech 2.0 in September of 2009, I had very low expectations. I wasn’t convinced at all that the world needed another blogger. But within a few months it was clear that blogging was the missing piece in my online communications strategy. 80% of my ROI (Return on Investment = webinar registrations, new clients, speaking engagements) comes from my e-Newsletter, and thanks to blogging my e-Newsletter list has jumped from 3,000 subscribers (which took 4 years to build) to almost 8,000 in 10 months! That said, in addition to being a great tool to build your e-Newsletter list, if your nonprofit is regularly updating Facebook and ...

What do you think of the oil spill response?

Oil firm BP is funnelling oil to the surface, after a capping device was placed on a leaking oil well. What do you think of BP's and the US government's response to the disaster? US Coast Guard Adm Thad Allen said a rough estimate showed that about 1,000 barrels a day was being captured. This is only a small part of the 12,000-19,000 a day believed to be leaking and BP says it could take 48 hours to know if the system is working. The worst oil spill in US history began when a drilling rig exploded and sank in April, killing 11 people. At least 12,000 barrels (504,000 gallons) are leaking into the Gulf every day. US President Barack Obama ...
