Safety, Happiness, and Peace Through Working Together!
A Proposal
Safety, Happiness, and Peace Through Working Together!
Let’s quickly unite ourselves in great numbers, create the innovative tools and systems we need and want to work with, and then work together to solve our community and individual problems and create opportunities for us.
I propose that we create an equally owned national cooperative economic network of more than 100 million Americans, who pool $100 each to share more than $10 billion dollars of economic leverage and the power created by so much money and so many people with different knowledge, skills, and resources, etc., working together using a custom-designed dynamic communication system. Organized by zip codes, members might exercise shared power on national, state, county, and local levels to accomplish all sorts of goals.
People, who are not Americans, should consider similar efforts.
Consider, Share, Discuss, and Act upon my Idea and my plan to unite Americans.
About Chicago Hermit John G. Curry
My Background
My Plan to Unite Americans
My Background
I was born, raised, and educated in Chicago, Illinois, in the USA. After briefly attending Purdue University and Chicago State University, I worked various jobs in banking, driving professionally, and delivering mail for USPS, before starting a 20-year career with the Chicago Fire Department (retired in 2015).
I enjoy family, friends, other nice people, a few things & places, and thinking.
My Idea
My Plan to Unite Americans
My Background
2001 was a rough year! So early in 2002, I started trying to unite more than 20 million Americans as an equally owned national cooperative economic network with a custom designed communication system.
In 2005, The New Revolutionary War: An American Firefighter's Dream to Help Save Humanity was published. In 2007, I made a *.pdf file of my book text, for people to share.

My Plan to Unite Americans
Between 2002-2019, my Idea was not embraced by millions/billions of people; and our socioeconomic situations worsened. Sadly, in 2019, I gave up on the revolution. But 2020 - present were rough years! In November of 2022, I decided to try starting the much-needed peaceful socioeconomic revolution again.
Please Consider, Share, Discuss, and Act upon my Idea and my plan to unite Americans.
Step 1. Royalty Sharing Offer
Step 1. Royalty Sharing Offer
I am offering to dedicate half of my after-tax royalties from the sale of The New Revolutionary War: An American Firefighter’s Dream to Help Save Humanity, up to $100,000,000 (one hundred million dollars), to help create our network.
If the lower fundraising threshold of $5,000,000 is not reached by 2/2/2027, then the royalty sharing offer is automatically rescinded, and the funds that were raised and dedicated to the network, will be donated to a charity, and no further steps will be taken.
