Brothers And Sisters/Companeros Y Companeras,

My autobiography, Walter Pietsch: Evolution of a Peaceful Revolutionary, is a MUST- READ FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU! Why? Not only because it makes very interesting reading, written like I’m sitting down having a cup of coffee across the table from you, but most importantly because THE VISION IT CONTAINS, WHEN IMPLEMENTED WITH YOUR HELP, WILL TRANSFORM OUR COUNTRY INTO A CARING DEMOCRACY, RUN BY THE PEOPLE.

Here’s what some folks are already saying about it and my activism…

STEPHANIE (she is a young woman who works in Dunkin Donuts, Brentwood Road, Brentwood, New York): "Walter, when I read Chapter Eight, I have to tell you it was hotter than Fifty Shades Of Grey! Then, I read the whole book, and I loved it! So, I gave it to my Mom to read. She did, and she loved it! Now, she gave it to my Grandma to read!”

DENISE (Nurse’s Aid, Maria Regina Residence, Brentwood, New York): “Your writing style is so interesting to read. I really like the way you’ll start on a subject, and then sometimes jump to something you want the reader to know about right then and there, just like you’re talking to us!”

DR. JEFFREY LEONARDIS (Board Certified Cardiologist and Internist, Garden City): “Walter, your writing style is fantastic! You really know how to write! Even though I’m conservative in my political views and don’t agree with everything you say, I respect you and what you have done!”

CHARLES FERRARA (Vietnam Veteran who was on a rooftop in Saigon when the Tet Offensive broke out): “As I was walking across the floor while in Winthrop Hospital, Mineola, Long Island, in a bed next to his father, Charles, Sr: Walter, please be careful how you walk; the world needs you!” Charles made this comment before he read my book, but after getting to know me and my views. His brother, Paul, already bought my book.

And on the literary side…

MAXWELL CORYDON WHEAT, JR . (First Poet Laureate, Nassau County, New York): “Walter Pietsch (writes) . . . in a robust, rough-hewned style that keeps the reader fixed on this story. . . Human interest . . . makes this . . . a brilliant read! (The book) is (an) entertaining . . . window into the people of contemporary American history.”

ED ASNER (actor/activist; member, Foundation for Democracy): “. . . a fighter for the right things that occupy our lives and are usually ignored.”

CORA SANTAGUIDA (2012 CT Green Party candidate for Board of Education, Stamford; member, PoemAlley: "Walter Pietsch: Evolution of a Peaceful Revolutionary was a great experience. Pietsch addresses issues that many would avoid... with courage, know-how and grace. This thoughtful autobiography emanates passion alongside great moments of tenderness. Walter Pietsch's words educate and inspire."


SO FOLKS, WHAT’S IT ABOUT? Love, sex, caring, golf, God, the soul, current events and what’s really going on and what’s wrong with things--and a simple, non-violent vision which, when implemented, will change everything for the better for all of us--except those who are multi-millionaires and billionaires (the 1% ers).

How To Help The Rich Get To Heaven

Brothers and Sisters,

Jesus said: "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into Heaven." That sounds pretty darned hard to me; doesn't it to you?

Unlike most people, the only thing I don't like about rich people is their money. It upsets me that the Bill Gateses, Warren Buffets (even considering the so-called “Buffet Rule”) and Mayor Bloombergs have no problem going to bed and sleeping on top of their billions of dollars in wealth, knowing full well that the money in their pockets is literally taking the food off the table of poor people, many of whom are starving to death. So, I want to take away the stress Bill, Warren, Mayor Bloomberg and others must be under, especially as they get older, as they realize that their unending greed will probably send them straight to Hell!

Here's the simple answer. Redistribute the wealth of every family with a net worth over five million dollars and individuals with a net worth of over three million dollars to the rest of the people. Under those amounts, take away a little, incrementally (we can figure out exact amounts later, if we agree in principle).

Voila! No more rich people! Eureka! Now Bill, Warren and Mayor Bloomberg and many others will be able to sleep soundly at night, knowing they have been helped to do the right thing, and should have a decent chance to get into Heaven!

Guess what? They don't even have to thank me. Instead, they can pass the Equal Media Access Constitutional Amendment which will take money out of the political process entirely; endorse Employee Consumer Control of All Institutions (these are Phase One and Phase Two of my "vision", respectively, to be found in the Appendix of Walter Pietsch: Evolution Of A Peaceful Revolutionary (see"Books by Walter Pietsch" column for more information). And, they can also support Phase Three: The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. "Dream Dollar", which will be added to the national currency to create millions of new jobs, just as FDR did in the 1930s. 

By the way, as we help the rich get into Heaven, we will also be taking back our country for the rest of the people. As we do so, please, let's make it a truly caring democracy as we are all God's children (for those who believe in God; I do). 

As you can see, I was only doing a tongue-in-cheek (not my tongue in your cheek; I'm not that kind of guy!) with the title of this op-ed. But now I'm dead serious, and my life is a testament to that. I think you'll like it if you take a look at my story. Then, if you agree, maybe you'll want to join me on the interesting journey ahead. I look forward to passing you an oar to help row the boat, or even help steer the ship!

Oh yes, in honor of the murdered children and teachers of Newtown, CT, my book bears this In Memoriam: THERE WILL/MUST BE NO MORE KILLING ANYWHERE, ANY PLACE, AT ANY TIME, BY ANYONE!

 A lifetime labor/human rights activist noted for his attempted citizen's arrest of Richard Nixon for war crimes, Walter Pietsch is the founder of ARISE (Americans Removing Injustice, Suppression and Exploitation) and author of the newly-released Walter Pietsch: Evolution of an Evolutionary Revolutionary--Updated 2013 Edition (please see "Books by Walter Pietsch" at right for more information and ordering).
