your post sounds like a good plan to me.

i read it twice to be sure and IMHO you are not trying to force anyone to join in or agree with your proposals. (witness the title of your post)

if people like some or all of your desires they can join in, and if they don't agree with you they can fish on by. their choice.

it sounds to me like something that would make you happy and do some good at the same time.

i would say start making plans to DO IT!!!

good luck
