Embarrassed Into Action
If you want to embarrass a community all you have to do is write a book and then add an accompanying blog. People will go out of their way to say that they have read some -- when they really have not.
Others will gracefully try to sidestep you. However the good news, from this author, is that others who do read can be genuine and go out of their way to congratulate. They say without a doubt that what is written is valuable. To the latter category I say, "Thank you". To all others it only matters to me that someday you will appreciate my work. I have faith that someday all of us will understand the meaning from these words.
The senior U.S. Senator from Delaware -- a democrat to be sure -- has a powerful influence on me which I am trying to 'shake off'. According to Senator Thomas Carper(D-DE) in order to get my writings read I am going to have to dismantle my little machine. In short, Senator Carper's office has told me that they will not read what I have writtenBob Does Everything Backwards: Writing Out of an Illness
unless I promise to make all of it for free. They state that as put -- "I cannot make any money on this venture for it to work," -- or at the least "be read".
Of course it must be known that Senator Carper is ignorant that my wife and my income is solely by Social Security -- give or take $300 a month. Yes, we are grateful, but our income is small and our debts are high. The Senator does not take into account that I have debts from writing and need to recover my outlay. It costs money to write a book.
After catching-up I would be happy to donate to non-profits which help the less fortunate. But there are other problems which go with my work:
I would be happy to learn if anyone is reading what I have written. It is unfortunate that some long-time friends just 'tune me out' and then blatantly say,"Oh I've read some -- I just need more time to finish it all." Others say, "Gee, Bob, we really have to get together for lunch to talk about it," and then they never call. I have caught good friends side-stepping me. They have no idea of the emotions and strength that move me. Perhaps I have not known what our friendships have been based on anyways. But if one doesn't read -- you'll never know the need. All that is asked for is a little listening to begin some decent understanding between us as humans. Some honest statements in this case are better than "little white lies." I try to be polite -- yet I am able to tell who has been reading and who has not.
Senator Carper, I have no problem donating some of the proceeds to a registered charity, but I want you to know that I need some money to 'run for office'. I have dreams of my own. Part of these dreams mean that I have to earn remuneration on my own for my family's needs, while the other part of this program means that I'll have to get some "Honest Joe's" to help me. As far as I can see this should be a team effort. Please know that I have supported you in your elections -- consistently. What I don't understand is how exactly I should "connect the dots" so that I may hold office eventually.
U.S. Senator Chris Coons(D-DE)has accepted a complimentary copy of my eBook through his office. The Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Wilmington -- His Holiness Francis Malooly -- has also accepted a complimentry copy of my work. Please remember that I would be happy to send you my video -- "Bringing Peace to Violently Troubled Minds" -- my eBook -- "Bob Does Everything Backwards Writing Out of an Illness" along with a link to Robert N. Franz's Blog. All of this complimentary work is yours for asking me.
This material includes a framework and examples which would help stop violence. Discussions need to begin with these expressive essays all of which could be mediums and agents for change. We must prepare our society to explore new ventures. We must move into the 21st century unencumbered by politics yet scientifically able to have man explore the universe. Productivity must increase -- hopefully with slow growth -- so not to go too far or fast -- while preventing too much loss to our ambitious populations.
I hope to take my part and help solve problems in Delaware. I offer my work to aid in solutions about community issues. Unfortunately, I feel 'harassed' by making such a paltry income. Hopefully, work will change this affliction and my family can find more freedom.
I am a 'conservative democrat' who does not feel represented in congress. If I cannot find representation, then I hope to start my own burgeoning leadership where many of us may truly be heard.
Bob Does Everything Backwards: Writing Out of an Illness Godspeed, and if you do not believe may I just say that your gods should be with you in your travels.
Sincerely yours,
Robert N. Franz
