Dear Followers:
Now that iPhones have changed our World, many are more connected than before. Let’s build on those connections for Legislative change. We want Black Lives to matter, along with the lives of all of us not represented in this Society. We need investigative Journalism to uncover and persuade disbelievers, that our Institutions are crumbling and must be repaired by Statesmen & women, dedicated to Equal Justice and Equal Opportunity. A Clean Slate for Workers would be a start, along with better treatment of Black Lives, Brown Lives and all abused people. A Democracy can’t allow hatreds and fear to prevail, when we need every person to achieve their God given potential, free of bias. It’s never too late to do what’s right. It’s 2020, we can see clearly now and the People have spoken. Help us change our Society and build bridges together to Strengthen the Fabric of American Society. United We Stand! Read on!
This is an essay on Teddy Roosevelt and the age of Investigative Journalism. I recommend Doris Kearns Goodwin‘s new book about Teddy Roosevelt, William Howard Taft , and the rise of investigative journalism, ” The Bully Pulpit“, a mirror of our own time?
1908 or thereabouts, Ida Tarbell, noted in Doris Kearns Goodwin’s, easily accessible chatty book, The Bully Pulpit, : “At a time when wealth is rolling up as never before, a vast number of hard working people in this country are having a difficult time of making ends meet. Because wage increases were not keeping pace with the escalating cost of living, working men and women were becoming despondent, knowing that no matter how much they earned, there was no such thing as getting ahead. “. Therefore, Tarbell and the leading journalists of the time, focused their attention on the immediate causes of the people’s plight, going after policies that were crippling the Middle Class and shining a light on the face of human misery. It was the secret of their success then and given similar times and hardships , should be represented by social activists today.
- The mantle should be passed to a new breed of activist journalists. The pen should once again be our sword. Since the ” respected” tabloids have become entertainment, the internet and other papers will take their place . Once again, it is necessary to support diligent investigative reporters who educate the Public, allowing the public to become empowered by giving them the authority and the facts required to proclaim the rights they are entitled to.
The thievery has persisted long enough, 1901-1909 ended in a Wall Street crash. next came the great crash of 1929, then the mini crashes in the 70’s , 80’s, 90’s, and the early part of the 21 st Century, culminating in the “man made” financial crisis of 2008. We the people , need protection from all pervasive greed . The system can be changed, if we all become involved and care about the “Future of the Middle Class”. We always have choices.
As an afterthought, the movies are becoming one of the vehicles for social change.
The Hobbit Series, written by Tolkien to describe his feelings about the rise of the third Reich: is easily adaptable to modern times and the rise of the Plutocrats.
Or the Wolf of Wall Street, based on a true story. Not yet seen by me, but long on excess and commentary with famous actors taking up the call for social action. They are supplementing the novelists of old. We need more up to date story tellers to create the atmosphere for change.
- Change is in the wind, I can feel it and once it roars, it will blow in a breath of fresh air. Certainly, by the next elections we the people will be ready, because we will understand that Politics effects us all. (original post written December 29, 2013)
The heart and pulse of “we the People”!
I don’t know what to say. I guess, offering your services, is not ipsa loquitur, it’s more carpe diem!
I am willing to offer my services to my readers and “others”. I’ve developed my expertise to lead the way out of our financial distress. Politics does affect us and I believe we have a choice
By understanding our weaknesses and our strengths we can help each other.
Wishing you the best.
I am the “voice of Joyce”.
Thanks.
Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text
in your content seem to be running off the screen in Firefox.
I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with internet browser
compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know. The design look great though!
Hope you get the problem fixed soon. Many thanks
Thanks for your comments.
I haven’t noticed the problem and I’m using Firefox?
Hope it’s fixed.

Amazing blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers?
I’m hoping to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost
on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or
go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m totally overwhelmed ..
Any ideas? Thanks a lot!
Thanks for your support.
I started on word press and I’m not really familiar with other platforms.
I set a target date and began writing and haven’t stopped for 1 1/2 yrs.
Just do it and let me know where you are Blogging/URL, etc.
Good luck
All the best. Joyce
First off I want to say fantastic blog! I had a quick question in
which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind. I was
interested to know how you center yourself and clear
your thoughts prior to writing. I have had trouble clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out.
I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems
like the first 10 to 15 minutes are lost simply
just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips?
Thank you!
Hi there:
I write first, then I edit. It could take me days to edit.
But first the thought. Doesn’t sound like you have a problem, 10-15 minutes is probably the appropriate time needed to center yourself.
Do something mindless before you write? movies/games?
Hope I’ve been a help.
All the best. Joyce

I leave a leave a response when I like a post on a site or I have something to valuable to contribute to the conversation.
Usually it’s a result of the sincerness displayed in the post
I browsed. And after this article PUBLIC ADVOCACY: The Bully Pulpit, then and now | thevoiceofjoyce.
I was moved enough to post a commenta response 🙂 I actually do have some questions for you if you tend
not to mind. Is it only me or do some of these remarks appear like coming from brain dead individuals?
😛 And, if you are posting on additional sites, I would like to follow anything fresh you have
to post. Would you make a list every one of all your public pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
