In the 70s, PLI used the initiative process to solve problems, qualifying two clean environment initiatives and then passing the Political Reform Act with 70% of the vote to establish California's Fair Political Practices Commission. PLI also directed the 18 states Western Bloc Safe Energy Campaigns and organized three days of Senate Judiciary Committee Hearings on establishing a National Initiative Process.

He is currently working on legislation creating an American World Service Corps and a proposal to Return to Fair Tax Brackets, which address some of the major problems we face today. His work is dependent upon public support and involvement- you can help by signing the petitions on the website for policy changing legislation.
His upcoming book is entitled- Every Town Needs a Castle Especially When Built of Recycled Junk and Spunk.
