{ We Speak America } will eventually be an internet-based workplace, vocational, and language-based portal for low-wage workers and immigrants.    I imagine an internet school that encompasses the four basic skills:  Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking.    The big chunk of work is getting to that place.    When I created the business plan for the organization, I recognize the enormous amount of research that I need to do in order to make this happen.   I also recognized the anti-immigrant climate in the U.S. that has resulted from the economic downturn.   In short, strategizing is key in creating the (dot) com product of the organization. 

I am calling the (dot) org a Think-tank; indeed, it is a thinking blog.    I am making it public to also sense the climate of support that may be available out there for this kind of effort.  My target population, the bottom of the pyramid, rarely gets any attention from the echelon of decision makers, but is always the first to pay when the economy turns topsy-turvy.   I consider myself as someone who got out of the bottom.  I grew up knowing that as long as I work hard enough, I can climb the pyramid.   In many ways, this is a personal voyage for me, a time for reaching out, and bringing others along to make a difference in the lives of those in the margins.  

I have opened the comment box, please feel free to write your thoughts.   Constructively, of course.   I respect your mind as I wish that you respect mine.    I am making my thoughts public to gather support from think-alikes out there who also believe in this effort.    As I construct this organization, I want to make sure that the different components are effectively put in place.    Obviously, there is much to gain in empowering the millions of people in this country who are trapped in the revolving doors of unemployment due to lack of education, training, and language skills.   I don’ t have to mention that this country is built on the backs of the immigrants who have come here.   Nothing has changed.
