PUBLIC POLICY
When a Republic form of represenation is combined with a free market
enterprise system that exists soley for the sake of profits, a
collusion between economic and political forces begin to deny certain
groups of people their ability to achieve and prosper. The ideals of
democracy are never served if all men and women are not given a voice
in the direction of the country. The complexities surrounding all of
the considerations are enormous.
A balance between leadership and representation must be struck so
that mass cultural leanings do not circumvent or forstall the
necessary progress of the individual. This individual takes his or
her representation in the format of the family and it is this family
unit that must form the basis of every economic and political
consideration both foreign and domestic. These considerations must be
addressed on many fronts one of which is comprehensive policy making.
Ahearn for Families is now on a course to deliver these policies.
They will form the foundation of all of the other items found on this
site and will be linked to/from other sections with direct bearing.
The following is a preliminary draft outline centeredaround the
following three key stakeholders: a) The Family, b) The Business,
and, c) The Government. As the policies are developed some sections
will be combined, collated, or renamed.
