Major M D Mitchell articles

M D Mitchell, known by his friends as "Mitch", was born in 1967 and today lives by the ocean in the state of Maine. He served in the Maine Army National Guard as a Combat Engineer, retiring at the rank of Major, and served two tours of duty in Iraq, as well as humanitarian work in Guatemala. He was also a Foreign Service Officer for the U.S. Department of State, serving in Washington D.C., Brazil, and Guyana. Prior to that, he was the Director of Education at the Wolfe's Neck Farm Foundation, in Freeport, Maine. Mitch was also a classroom teacher who taught U.S. History, and English to speakers of other languages in Maine and Japan. He is passionate about remaining true to the founding ideals of America, the ones written on paper about a "more perfect union", although, sadly, not always as practiced in reality.

Ongoing White House Coup D'état

I highly suggest the anonymous author of the New York Times Op Ed piece resign, as well as all of the other people who are working against the administration from within. While they are at it, the President himself should resign too.

Trump Wants to Ban Flipping

So all consuming is his ego and need to protect himself that he would alter our laws, regardless of the consequences.This is so blatant and in the open, it boggles the mind to those of us not caught under his spell.

The Pursuit Of Happiness Versus Lies, Fraud And Corruption

August 27, 2018 by M D Mitchell 1 Comment

The Pursuit Of Happiness

Can’t we just figure out that it would be better to just be honest, admit our human frailties, become a sex positive nation, embrace enthusiastic yes, and understand the “Pursuit of Happiness” clearly includes sex, and move on?

Another Case of Police Resorting to Violence Unnecessarily

August 18, 2018 by M D Mitchell Leave a Comment

Police Resorting to Violence Unnecessarily

We have police who have been conditioned, in our post 9/11 world, to perceive the public as a potential enemy and are far too willing to attack, rather than protect and serve, or even back off and wait.

My Thoughts On The NFL Anthem Protest Controversy

August 15, 2018 by M D Mitchell Leave a Comment

NFL Anthem Protest Controversy

I too love our nation and our flag. We should strive to be a nation where everyone wants to stand for the flag, rather than one that forces and coerces citizens to do so.

Using Ranked Choice Voting For President Can Save America

July 28, 2018 by M D Mitchell 2 Comments

Modern Republican Party Has Been Usurped

It is time for Progressives, Liberals, Moderates, Independents, disillusioned Republicans abandoned by their own party, Democrats of all stripes and varieties, and disaffected voters to rally together and stand up and be counted.

The actions of this administration are bad and wrong, this is how totalitarian regimes operate not democratically elected governments. Come November, please join me and the majority of Americans to take our country back.

One Person, One Volunteer, One Better Way to Vote

One Better Way to Vote

What a long strange trip it has been. I am still happily shocked that the people of Maine have now spoken via the ballot, twice, to insist that We the People are indeed in charge. Let’s hope our Representatives now represent us.
