Why the RIDdLe?

Oct 13, 2024

Hello everyone,

I hope this message finds you well and in good spirits. 

In this article, I want to share a story that encapsulates my passion for mutual support, skill sharing, creating solutions, fostering strong partnerships, team support and Unity.

A few years ago, I had a Colorado license plate that read “RIDL.” The inspiration for this came from the word “riddle,” which is defined as a question or statement that requires clever thinking to solve or explain. However, the letters on my plate had a deeper meaning: Republican, Independent, Democrat and Libertarian – RIDL.

Whenever people asked me what the letters stood for, I would respond with, “RIDL, Republican, Independent, Democrat, Libertarian. Why is it such a RIDdLe to build a better world for our children?” This often-sparked interesting conversations and I would explain further.

The real question I posed was, why is it such a challenge for any political affiliation to focus on building a better world for our children without name-calling, downgrading each other and spite?

Whether you are a Republican, Independent, Democrat or Libertarian, the goal must be the same yet less than 3% of the members of any political affiliation truly get to the heart of the matter of what their bylaws represent or can explain more than a few “rumors” about what the terms “conservative” or “liberal” or “libertarian” or “socialist” or “communist” can really mean.

This article highlights a crucial point: the importance of mutual understanding, support and Unity, regardless of our affiliations. We must stop supporting what we do not understand. Why are laws written by our elected officials in a legal-ease or legal-tease? We must force our legislature to write laws in a language we all understand.

This article is also a reminder that we can achieve so much more when we work together, share our skills and support each other in creating solutions. This philosophy extends beyond politics and into every aspect of our lives, including our family, friends, social, work and political efforts.

I am passionate about creating solutions, providing mutual support, Achieving Unity and I believe that by aligning our core principles, we can accomplish remarkable things together. 

Political affiliation is simply the collective belief of those who adhere to its written principles and bylaws. By focusing on our shared goals and values, we can create a more empathetic and productive environment. If we are not focused on clear, understandable, written beliefs we are only fooling ourselves.

An affiliation must not follow the purpose of a gang that is primarily focused on criminal activities, drug trafficking, extortion and violence with the goals of personal gain, territory and reputation.

An affiliation must continually grade itself by being Reality Focused on achieving specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time bound goals, such as influencing valuable, justified policy, electing an honest legislature and promoting specific, positive and proven ideologies.

If you share these principles, I would love to find strong partnership opportunities where we can work together.
