The John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University released a survey on leadership.

A new survey reveals a profound and growing unhappiness among Americans with their current leaders, not only in politics but in nearly every sphere. More than three quarters of the public (77%) now say the country has a “crisis” in leadership—up from 69% a year ago and 65% two years ago. And nearly eight in ten Americans (79%) believe that the United States will decline as a nation unless it soon gets better leaders.

Who cares about the country these days?  Or about the Constitution?  It seems they are few and far between.  

We are now "consumers" instead of "citizens."  Industry leaders are expected to take action that harms the country if it is good for the next quarterly results.  Elected leaders vote with those multinationals who fund campaigns, while distracting us with social issues.

We need leaders that can run a country.  And pay attention to the Constitution.  And can deal with the fundamentals, like the trade deficit.  

The current crop is not up to it.

Right ON !

I have asked myself this same question numerous times over the last several years. I feel sure that "They " are "Out There". However,
they do not get any MEDIA attention. They are "Unknowns" to the
vast majority of TRUE Americans.

I feel that there is a need for one of the major Networks to do a show
which HIGHLIGHTS living, noteworthy, American Leaders / Patriots.

I would suggest that the series start with doing a segment on my good
friend, Jack Davis, of Akron, NY.

Jack is 74 years young and a self made business owner. He is President
of I Squared R Element which employs approximately 75 TRUE AMERICAN
WORKERS in Akron.

Jack is a POSTER CHILD for what a true American LEADER should be.

I would love to help with starting this series. How might we begin
to publicize TODAY's GREAT AMERICAN LEADERS ?
