Who Am I? Hell of a question. Throughout our lives the answer changes as we grow and learn. Yet our innate core values, our sense of compassion or responsibility, don’t change, unless we have experienced some kind of an awakening. Some of us are awake but many of us aren’t. My goal, the goal of this opera, is to awaken all 100% of us together with the vision of a new national mission. Awaken us all as Americans. We are one people.

We let media ploys pitting republicans against democrats, or the people against the government, or against the media, or against whom every to make us mad and turn off while a super-minority of 10 million elites divide us to endlessly rob our treasury while never really offering any solutions for 300 million hard working citizens. They are laughing at us because we fall for it every time. Every four years, for the last 60 years at least. They take us for fools and sheep. They call us Sheeple. That’s who the elites running our government by paying off our politicians think we are. Worse, they just don’t care, they understand how to manipulate a whole country and they make it look easy. The news media looks like fools because unfortunately, they played that role. Now you have a better idea of why I’m trying to wake everyone up at once. Because we are the only ones that can save us, and we are unstoppable as one.

WHO AM I the song is the essence of the opera, and the lyrics of this song are inspired by the words of Thomas Jefferson. Seven years ago, during a family trip to Washington DC, I bought a book of Thomas Jefferson’s quotes. He was quite a scholar. We even got to visit his personal library, and it was one of many high points in my family’s trip to Washington DC.  I am simply in awe when I think about Jefferson drafting the Declaration without a word processor, putting pen to parchment. He was able to assimilate so much information and translate it into such a profound message. He considered all that had gone before, defined who an American is and who we were going to be for generations. It is astounding to think that he changed the world with those words in that single document.

What was it in Jefferson and the 56 other signers of our first Declaration of Independence from runaway government that enabled them to take such radical action against all common thought? We look back and see boldness; we see utter fearlessness as they stood up together to declare who they were. This is why I start the song Seize The Moment with Jefferson’s quote. Because it appears we’ve forgotten who we are as Americans. And it is time to tell the world who we are once again. When we do, we affirm our heritage, we affirm our path forward, we affirm our rights to a government of, by and for the people once more. So, I asked myself, “WHO AM I?”, And I’m asking you to ask of yourself, “WHO AM I?”  I know we are all American spirits seeking freedom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness: we must all awaken that in us if we are to save America for 300 million ordinary hard working citizens who make this country run.

So who are you? Are you one of the 120-Million citizens who did NOT vote in the 2016 presidential election? Did you feel your vote did not matter in a system rigged by money in politics, as many told me? Do you realize if all those people who ‘opted out’ had voted for a single write in candidate, like ADRIAN 2020, they could have easily elected a person with an OVER-NIGHT plan to reclaim America for the ordinary citizen? As we know who we are we are again, we grasp the power as a people to control our futures.  Just like we did in 1776, we grasp the power of us, all of us, just signing the RTDNOW petition is that power and can change the world again, OVER-NIGHT.

I am challenging every single American to rediscover their American Spirit and participate. Our founders weren’t going to be fools of the establishment or slaves to tyranny. They ended their nightmare by signing a declaration, which in one act, changed the future of the world. They told everyone who they were: free.

In the simple act of signing a declaration they told the world they were going to be people who decided their own fate and controlled their own destiny. They each declared it individually and as a unit. Our Declaration of Independence may have been the greatest, the most transformational, and most potent single act, in all human history.

Again, I ask you to ask of yourself, “WHO AM I?” because it all starts there.  If you’re a free fearless American spirit like me ready to steer your own future, tell me who you are by adding your name at rtdnow.com and you will tell the whole world once more: American!
