Promethean Action Leaflet on Trump's American System Economics

New leaflet from Promethean Action: Support President Trump's American System Economics

Promethean Action has a new leaflet for citizens and activists to distribute as part of our campaign to implement President Trump's American System economic policies. The leaflet is based on an article from Brian Lantz's Physical Economics Substack, entitled "What We Produce, Not What We Buy."

Trump is Turning Factory Lights On Throughout the Country!

As President Trump stated in his University of Alabama commencement speech on May 1st, “Build the Country, Not Your Portfolio!”

The leaflet enumerates some of the points in President Trump’s national energy emergency declaration: coal and natural gas revival, LNG export expansion, oil/ gas and nuclear production, infrastructure and mining, steel and aluminum production, auto industry reshoring, and investment surge.

Available on the Promethean Action website! Print it or download it, and get it out far and wide!

Message to Congress: Support President Trump's Agenda

Promethean Action activists delivered a message to Congressmen this past March to implement President Trump's mandate for the American System of economics

Following up on our organizing trip to Washington this past March, Promethean Action has emailed every Congressman we met with to tell them:

Implement Trump's mandate

"Back in March, we met with you, at the request of your constituents, to discuss the full implementation of President Trump's mandate. We left you with copies of two Promethean Action pamphlets, What President Trump Can Do With the American System 2.0 and It is the British Who Murder Our Presidents.
"We have reported back to your constituents on the very fruitful discussions we had with you, and thank you again for your time."

Congress, the budget, and the American System

"Now, the attention of the nation is on Congress regarding the budget deliberations. On April 30th, the Senate almost killed the President’s tariff and protectionist policy. Clearly, too many members of Congress do not understand the American System and remedying this is urgent."

A beacon of hope for mankind

"The thousands of Americans we talk to voted for the President’s economic agenda. They believe it is the only way to ensure that our people can exercise their creative and productive potential again. They yearn to build a country for both themselves and their children which will be again the beacon of hope for all mankind."

The survival of our republic

"We believe, that the understanding of the American System by members of Congress will determine not only the midterm elections, but the ultimate survival of the republic."

As Barbara Boyd highlighted in her Monday Brief, and Susan Kokinda in her Midweek Update, the fight for America begins now! If the GOP wants to win in 2026, they must fight to legislate President Trump's agenda.

The New Republican Party Emerges in Detroit

Susan Kokinda addressed the 13th CD Republicans (l); new statewide College Republic leaders Tyler Campbell and Ryan Giles (r)

The May 6 meeting of the 13th Congressional District Republican Party, which includes Detroit, MI, reflected the new face of the Trump-led Republican Party. The 13th CD is chaired by Alexandria Taylor, a Black former Democrat, who has already run for statewide office as a Republican, and co-chaired by Sam Alasri, a leader in the Yemen community. Promethean Action’s Toni Sellars has led the drive which has recruited scores and scores of new delegates to this fast-growing Republican organization in one of the Democrat strongholds in the state.

Outreach into Arab Americans and young people

At the Tuesday meeting, Sam Alasri reported on an Arab-America cultural event, attended by him and addressed by Promethean Action’s Ron Kokinda. Two of the newly-elected leaders of the Michigan College Republicans (CR)s, President Tyler Campbell and Treasurer Ryan Giles, reported on their expansion into younger layers and joked that Detroit is now running the CR’s.

Trade Union Republicans

Promethean Action’s Susan Kokinda, recently elected as Coalitions Vice Chair of the state party, briefed the crowd on upcoming Town Halls on the tariff. Those meetings will be addressed by Autoworkers for Trump founder Brian Pannebecker, who is continuing his drive to recruit more “union Republicans,” (his new name for “Reagan democrats”).

Promethean Action Brings Trump's Message to Northern California

Promethean Action in Northern California.

Promethean Action is organizing in various areas in Northern California. We set up our display at a farmer’s market on a warm evening in the East Bay this week. It was a party-type atmosphere, with many non-supporters who were generally civil and kept their distance. As the evening progressed, many patriots emerged, particularly millennials, happy to see bold Trump supporters in public and willing to sign up for our emails.

Having fun organizing Trumpers and anti-Trumpers

We also went to the Santa Cruz area and found both Trump supporters and some clearly hostile opposers. One guy, who had signed up with us before, came up while our organizers were talking with others and quickly handed us a $100 bill.  A 14 year-old girl who was not pro-Trump, yet very inquisitive, engaged in a serious discussion about the Orwellian world we are now living in. She said she would now read Orwell's 1984. A screaming protester, who hung around for several hours, tried to disrupt our deployment, but had the effect of actually provoking more people to come over to our table and contribute.

Michigan Meeting on Implementing Trump's American System Economics

Michigan Promethean Action held an online meeting on May 1st to organize activists around the unique role we play in educating Americans and implementing President Trump's economic policies.

Tariff Town Halls

Susan Kokinda presented the Promethean Action plan to hold a series of Town Hall meetings throughout Michigan on Trump's tariffs and building a working- class Republican party. This was situated in the importance of winning the 2026 midterm elections with a GOP that will enact Trump's policies.

A new system to replace globalization

Mike Steger followed by discussing why Trump's initiative for a new global economic system to replace globalization is so important. He gave the example of South Korea, which has a big trade surplus, tons of heavy industry, steel, ships, cars, nuclear plants, electronics, consumer goods, smart phones – they make it all. And yet, their nation is collapsing, because too few Koreans are getting married and having families. There is something amiss if we just measure GDP or the trade balance. We need a mission and that's what the founders of the USA intended.

Alexander Hamilton and the American System

One participant suggested that we should have packets of material for each attendee at the Town Hall meetings, to prepare them to organize and replicate the Promethean Action methods. Another raised the question of the Federal Reserve and the massive money printing, which sparked an important discussion about Alexander Hamilton, the American System of banking and credit, and what is real wealth: money? or industrial and manufacturing power?

Podcast: Texas Report Back On Trip to Congress

Texas Promethean Action activists Peter and Marsha Bowen were interviewed by Scott Tregurtha on his Take Control of Your Liberty podcast on April 28. They reported on their organizing trip to Washington DC in March. This was one of several recent interviews with Promethean activists which he has conducted.

The role of the citizen

The focus was on what citizens should be doing to develop relationships with their elected representatives. Shaping and guiding the thinking of our representatives, at all levels, is the responsibility demanded of all citizens. Of course, that means learning what government should be doing.

The American System

One big problem we still need to resolve in this country is returning to the American System, which was put into place by Alexander Hamilton and America's concerned Founding Fathers.

Help Trump Make America Great Again!

In the interview, the Bowens discussed how they and their team did their part in helping to accomplish just that on their trip to DC, which is a perfect example of how We the People can help Trump Make America Great Again!
