-Overworld Magazine, 3/13/2011

Nationally syndicated columnist Dru Sefton [Newhouse News Service] solicited a series of responses from people across the country around the subject of being: "loyal to America."  She contacted me for a response (the answer had to be 100 words, or less).  This is what appeared in her column:  "Loyalty to America should be loyalty to Americans -- in promoting the common good.  That is, Shaker Heights Ohioans patriotically say:  "Liberty and justice for all," then head into Cleveland's inner city to bring liberty to children dodging hunger, needles and bullets.  Santa Monica Californians sing about "spacious skies" in "America the Beautiful," then they bicycle to work in Los Angeles so those spacious skies don't fill with global warming gasses for the next generation.  Seneca, Kansas, farmers stop putting toxic chemicals on their "amber waves of grain," so people eating bread in Ephrata, Pennsylvania, don't get cancer.  And on..."  

-- Joe Schriner, presidential candidate

Columnist Dru Sefton

"But Schriner – who, with his wife and three kids in tow, has logged more than 100,000 miles while campaigning over the past 12 years – takes strength from knowing that “each time people pick up on the ideas, it’s as if we get a policy enacted long before we ever get to D.C.”  

--npr.org article

 

"And asked how he feels about perennial candidates being viewed as also-rans or losers, Schriner says that because of his years on the campaign trail, “…there are now more people doing more to help the urban poor, to help the environment, to help curb crime, to help save the unborn, to help save the family farm, to help the immigrant, to help stem poverty in the Third World…  Losers?  By whose measure?”
