SecondShortQuiz – Tightrope’s Steps vs. Our Email Campaigns

Second Short Quiz - Tightrope’s Recommendations vs. Reading Liberally - Salt Lake E-mail Campaigns


A. Have we undertaken 48 “Six Degrees of Separation E-mail Campaigns” during our 14.5 years of existence?

B. Were they aimed at the nation’s decision makers?

C. Have many of them (such as recognizing the real cause of the 2008-2011 economic meltdown so that a similar economic meltdown in 2018 was avoided) been surprisingly effective?

D. Noting that the 48 campaigns resulted from three times that many monthly meetings over 14.5 years -- (A) how are the topics for the monthly meetings determined, and (B) what are the standards for launching an e-mail campaign?

E. Of our 48 e-mail campaigns, did 39 of them deal with issues other than those raised by Tightrope -- such as (1) The United Nation’s two-decade War on Human Trafficking, (2) Solving Global Warming 100% Without Having To Invade Other Countries Such As China To Force Them To Employ Uneconomic Energy Sources, (3-4-5) various foreign-policy issues (Korea, Afghanistan, the Palestinians), (6) saving Great Salt Lake from being destroyed to produce alfalfa to feed Chinese cattle, (7) campaign-finance reform, (8) dealing with spent nuclear fuel rods, (9) etc., etc.?

F. Did the Tightrope list of “Big Steps” contain a glaring exception vis-à-vis which we have had two e-mail campaigns -- viz., halting The Establishment’s Exporting of American Jobs to China (and other low-wage countries) via so-called Free-Trade Agreements 1993-2016 such as NAFTA, the WTO, dozens of trade agreements with China, etc., etc.?

G. Of the 9 of our 48 e-mail campaigns that relate to the 8 “big steps [our authors] urge the country to take,” how do our 9 campaigns compare to our author’s 8 “big steps” --

Big Step No. 1. High-quality early childhood programs?

Big Step No. 2. Universal high-school graduation?

Big Step No. 3. Universal health coverage?

Big Step No. 4. Elimination of unwanted pregnancies?

Big Step No. 5. A monthly child allowance?

Big Step No. 6. An end to homelessness for children?

Big Step No. 7. Baby bonds to help build savings?

Big Step No. 8. A right to work? (NB: as distinguished from “right to work” laws which permit workers to opt out of union membership)
