Day: May 29, 2018

It is the season of color and light, it wakes me up and brings me to life.

The Bumper Sticker Revolution begins today, I went to the U.S. Post Office in Cambridge, N.Y., and handed Martha 120 envelopes with bumper stickers tucked inside, Maria and I spent happy hours labeling and stuffing them. This was the first batch of pre-orders that came in last week.

I ordered 500 bumper stickers that say “The Army Of Good” and I mean to sell all of them. I can’t wait to see driving ahead of me on the road, or on a trip somewhere.

Every morning, I go to my post office box – P.O. Box 205 to pick up the pre-orders from all over the country and bring them home.

I hope people will send me  photos of the stickers on their cars. I’ll try to post them on my blog. I am surprised, as I always am, by how well the blog is read all over the country. Thank you.

Perhaps this will spark a revolution, and doing good will spread and gently overwhelm the arguments. I think they might be infectious.  As of this weekend, you can order the bumper stickers – they are $10, no charge for shipping – on Maria’s Etsy page. It takes a couple of seconds.

(Thanks to the people who send some extra money along, an additional $10 or $20 or more for the refugees and Mansion residents. It adds up. One very wonderful person  sent a check for $300 this morning so Omranaso can pay off all of her remaining debts – I wrote her a check for $400 last week.

Once we get her into her new apartment, she will get a subsidy from New York State and between that and her new job, she will be independent and  debt-free. Thank you, Carol.

She has suffered quite enough and thanks to many of you for the support of her and Hawah. (First, we have to get her that apartment.)

For those of you who don’t know, The Army Of Good is scattered all over America, come to together to keep good alive and to do good rather than argue about it. We are not a political  group, we are equal opportunity do gooders, we do not belong to the left or the right. We are ordinary Americans trying to help fellow ordinary Americas who are vulnerable now, especially new refugees to America and Americans living in elderly care.

These two groups are  in urgent need of support and attention. We are helping.

We are working to keep good alive here, and are succeeding.

It feels good to do good, it is an antidote to the poisonous clamor outside.

If you don’t care to have a sticker on your car, you can put it anywhere inside the house, or on a briefcase or bag. I love the letters I am reading along with the $10 checks and crumpled bills. You are an Army Of Love, and I am proud to be associated with you. This is perhaps the most joyous and meaningful task I have ever undertaken.

You make this work possible. Check out the bumper stickers on Etsy, and thanks. They are starting to fly out of her and do their work.

If you prefer mail, you can send a check or cash for $10 to me at The Gus Fund, c/o Jon Katz, P.O. Box 205, Cambridge, N.Y., 12816. I’m shooting for another hundred today. Blessings. Take a peek here.
