The NLA has a history of resilience, awareness, and a body function that has great value. It provide a benefit to the individual whose circumstance or culture motivate him or her to assume a leadership role or attain a particular goal. In other words, he or she gain experience as an individual, which is concretely tied to a quality of character or unique ability that the particular individual can contribute to the understanding of liberty and dignity.

Members voluntarily join the NLA, they support the mission; they receive updates about the status of case law and legislative acts; rehabilitative programs, and they have an opportunity to have the concept of input and/or direction of the NLA.

Some input and/or direction is tough, sophisticated, and serviceable concepts, well worthy of their central role in moral and legal assessment, concepts that allow NLA leadership to sort out the central realities of deliberation and choice; the linking of means and ends in a plan, or proposal-for-action adopted by choice in preference to alternative proposals (including doing nothing). What one inputs /direction is what one chooses, whether as end or as means …

These concepts is based on the intellectual belief that the NLA and its members constitute a mutually valuable partnership thru which each member receives great benefit from likely, progressive, prosperous, and members working as a single unit with everyone striving for the same goal, to contribute to the fight for liberty and dignity.

The ideas of liberty and dignity have been an irresistible force in motivating NLA members. If those ideas are worth fighting for –and our history demonstrates that they are — this is what I value about the NLA.
