About
The
Main Function of the site is to give
people the ideas and knowledge they need. Ideas for
America 1 is the site platform, which you can see
more about on the book page. We're all about the
effective fusion of ideas and information, and you can
request a book presentation anytime.
The
Site is Run by Matthew J. Fraser. I'm a language
tutor, and you can see more about that at my teaching site.

Just as my teaching work is all about catharsis for my
students, this site is all about the fusion and
implementation of useful ideas and information.
1998-2004 The first notes on
education and public policy, and the work of Mass.
Inc and Commonwealth Magazine were read and analyzed.
Notes became paragraphs, which in turn became pages and
eventually essays. Ideas from
newspaper articles, books, political campaigns, and
websites were integrated, and Ideas for America 1
was published on August 8, 2005.
2005-2010 Since the original publication of
Ideas for America 1 on August 8, 2005, the book has
been updated three times, including in 2010. The latest
additions were a direct response to the ongoing economic
crisis.
2010 State Senate Race This year, I (Matthew
J. Fraser) am running as an Independent for the
Massachusetts Second Essex State Senate seat, which includes the communities of Salem, Beverly, Danvers,
Peabody and Topsfield. So, there is currently some
emphasis on that race here, although people
anywhere in the state can benefit from the ideas here.
Ideas for America 1 Back Cover Excerpt: "Taken
individually, the ideas, goals, and action plans
contained in Ideas for America 1 are interesting,
useful and empowering. But its most profound
and expansive use will come with the collective
implementation of the entire platform, which represents
nothing less than a giant leap forward for the country
as a whole." |
