Maria 713.542.0721 Has Mrs. Clinton said anything about this group? The word is.... from insiders, Denver is ready to argue flawed process of primaries, secondary, and Pumamaries. The National Guard is on site, and it has reserved a special lugar for such political activists. The location is capable of housing thousands of energetic, outspoken volunteers. The building is secure. The interior space on five sides are solid concrete. The exterior is enveloped in barbwire and protected by police dogs. Also, disenchanted Democratic Party members, and frustrated republicans have another option. They will be given an opportunity to contribute to the GOP Convention in Minnesota. Opposite to the Democratic National Convention where the Denver Host City Committee has confirmed 10,000 convention volunteers, and secured another 5,000 on the reserve list, the GOP is having trouble enrolling volunteers. The good news is that the GOP will most likely be pressed to $$$$ hire workers to help with their event. Hope is in the air, my heart soars like the eagle over the Rocky Mountain Tops! Maria
Christianity: The religion based on the life, teachings, and example of Jesus Christ?. Paradox: In a community where the majority of people are not engaged in organized church, the leader is chosen based on Christianity. The candidate with impeccable character and moral values is not the favorite among the "Christians". The candidate owning abandonment of his wife in pursue of something new is the favorite among the "Christians". The candidate questioning war, insisting in giving peace a chance, is not the favorite for the Christian Group. The candidate insisting in 50 or 100 more years of war, is the favorite for the Christian Group. The Christians questioning abortion for any reason, insist we need to support war. The groups insisting in the quality of self and personal financial security support the Christian favorite candidate. The groups insisting in health care for all people, building community, acknowledging there are people in our own neighborhood that can not afford to send their kids to college are not leaning towards supporting the "Christian" candidate. How do I explain to my children? I like this one....enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9JTYnMpRyg Maria The Parade is TOMORROW!

HOLT Photos http://www.flickr.com/photos/25714894@N08/ Join us tomorrow for the Grand Opening of The Midtown Democratic Party Obama Office! Saturday Aug 9, 10 - 12 Noon 3710 Travis Houston TXAn exciting program featuring Master of Ceremonies State Senator Rondey Ellis will kick off promptly at 11:00 am. This office was Senator Barack Obama's during the March Primary and we need that same enthusiasm for Democrats this November. We invite you to come and tour our office and enjoy food and a cold drinks. In an exciting announcement, we will have Obama items available for suggested donation on Saturday. Get the ready for the fall election by getting the latest Obama fall fashion with the following items:
We have been for weeks in discovery of how to enroll the Clinton activists into our camp. All around this country many Obama groups like HOLT have been in action and relentless pressing for "UNITY". This morning I went to Hillary's website to post a note urging activists to join our team, and this is what I found: Hillary, our country is on the verge of a major economic and energy crisis. We, the people, need you as President. Hillary, please allow your name to be placed into nomination at the convention. Your supporters are uniting around the country and will not support Obama, nor the corrupt DNC and flawed process that resulted in his selection. Hillary, you are the rightfully elected nominee based on the will of the people. You won the popular vote, more votes than any other nominee in history. I'm not asking you because I'm a woman or because you are a woman. I'm asking you on behalf of my family and all the invisible and voiceless that need you, for you are the smartest, best, and brightest hope we have to get this country back on track. As a citizen, I'm asking you to lead us. Seize the moment. We are with you. [Reply] [Report Abuse] There are three groups all pressing for the same principles, and yet, not entirely communicating and or working in unison: Obama For America, The Democratic Party, and The Clinton Campaign. When are we going to realize there is only one of us here? For a guarantee "WIN" we must "Unite"! With a clear vision of our intentions, presenceing the urgency of our propose, forwarding marching together as a one ruling body! Barack said, for strength we need to hold on to what unites us, not what divides us. We Must Win! Maria Isabel
