By getting together, we can take back control of our country. In fact, it can be fun to "Take Action." Work with your hip brothers and sisters in communities, at home, and on-line. Together, we can make this world a happier, safer, and hipper place to live.

Contrary to common belief, hippies were not lazy. In fact, they were activists that tried to create a better world. In this section, you will find ideas and resources that we can all use to improve the world. We all need to act now, or else time will be getting late!

The sooner we get moving, the better (in real life and in Cyberspace). It's time to shake things up and make some noise. The Internet makes it possible for us to connect in unique ways. There is power in technology, numbers, and the right ideas. We must be peaceful and not provoke more fear and repression.

I have selected eight challenges (and opportunities) that we must face together as the Hiphappy counterculture:

• Wasteful consumerism means we need to Clean up our Act
• There is only one home for all of us, so Protect our Planet
• Creativity is vital to society so Support Local Arts
• We have rights to happiness, so let us Stop the War on Weed
• The establishment spins the truth, so Counter Propaganda
• America was built to ensure Power to the People
• Don’t rely on the establishment Help Yourself & Others
• Life is meant to be joyful and fulfilling so Set Your Soul Free

Other pressing needs exist, but I feel these are the best places to start. The links lead to further information about these critical issues. Many great groups and organizations are ready to help you make a difference in your own life and in society. Please share any ideas and resources with the rest of us!! Send me a note now!!
