300 Hundred Million in Population Events
In a little more than 3 months, the population of the United States of America will reach 300 million people. The pupose of this blog was to celebrate the population reaching 300 million and talk up the issues and learn from each hundred million in population milestone and to look forward about 30 more years if trends remain the same when we reach another 100 million in population gain to 400 million people.It is sad, but President Johnson only made a brief mention when the nation reached 200 million people in 1968 in a speech. I wanted to bring a little more fanfare to reaching 300 million mark in the first week of November this year, 2006.
We are running out of time, because parades, fireworks, concerts, school lesson plans, print articles, academic papers, tv magazine shows, public broadcasting shows, and all take time to plan and develop. Guess what? If we dont do it soon, we will have nothing.
Are you interested in celebrating reaching 300 million in population for the first time? What are you planning to do and what organizations can you invite to participate.
Do you want you child's school to include some material for discussion to learn about reaching 300 million in population and maybe the issues in the nation and the solutions at the time during each 100 million mark of population. Do you want the child to cover some of the nations issues reaching another 100 million milestone in about 30 more years? Can you talk to the school administration and teachers to develop at least a brief program?
Can you write to your elected officials about providing a national holiday and some events to celebrate reaching 300 million in population?
Can you write to the editors to provide articles about reaching 300 million?
I wrote this blog hoping to stir up some discussion and to recognize the rapid population growth of America by having some sort of celebration. Now is the time.
