“I read about this in the Everett Herald online at my friend’s home in Vicenza, Italy. I arrived here yesterday (1/9/08) after a day’s travel, and met many folks along the way whom I believe practice the Golden Rule daily. I received much help in my travel here by total strangers, some of whom could speak English, some who could not, but understood my needs when I asked for help. I’m convinced that there is more good than evil in this world and that it only needs to be felt by everyone from person to person contact. Thank you for reminding all that it begins with each one of us. Collectively, we can be the change we seek.” - Mary Craig

“I agree wholeheartedly. Just yesterday, my 19 yr. old daughter was stunned to hear two others making fun of her for no particular reason as they walked out of a college class. She was crushed and asked “how do I toughen up.” I replied, you don’t, but you double your efforts to do the right thing by everyone possible in your life and remember what makes you who you are. - And standing by and for the Golden Rule is perfect.” - Kathy Holston

“It seems so simple - when you’re a child, you know it’s the only way to go. As an adult, I know I’ve let the waters get muddied at times with my own insecurities, desires and revenge fantasies. I’m glad for this reminder to return to a simpler message.” - Barrie Evans

“The Golden Rule is gold, pure gold. I have lived it all 53 years since I learned it at my mother’s knee when I was 5. It didn’t used to be rare. But then, that was when a mother with 4 kids in the grocery store was sent to the front of the line. Thank you for doing this!” - Gail Rector

“I think this is a wonderful thing you are doing. I have felt the way you do forever. Thank you so much.” - Renee Gage

We as a society, and as individuals, need to reaffirm and rekindle our sense of fairness and personal responsibility. . . each of us doing our best every day to be fair. What better way to do this than to focus on The Golden Rule, a touchstone for all of us?

The Golden Rule belongs to each and every one of us. “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” This simple yet powerful message (that we all, in one form or another, have been taught and know) forms the basis of every religion in the world and includes those who are not religious but believe in fair play.

I can’t help, therefore, but feel that this message addresses the vast majority of people on our planet - people who, for the most part, know the right thing to do and the right way to act. I’m simply offering a reminder and encouraging them to do just that by being Golden Rule Activists - everyday. Anyone can be a Golden Rule Activist!

It is in this spirit and with this desire that I created The Golden Rule Activist Declaration and videos now circulating on the Internet.

“Be a Golden Rule Activist in your heart, in your mind and especially in your actions.”

Imagine what the world would be like if more people began to live life more often with this simple yet powerful focus!

It can be a better world!

I am not an actor, I am not a rock star, I am not a politician. I’m just a guy who is concerned about our world and the people in it . . . a guy who wants to make a positive difference. I’m a Golden Rule Activist.
