… As I migrated towards the Lincoln Memorial for the Opening Ceremony, I became amerced in a sea of people flowing rhythmically towards what some envision as a symbolic crusade. As I observed a well organized ceremony, my attention was often unconsciously interrupted to marvel at my surroundings of a micro-dynamic of what constitutes America. Once again…as I previously witnessed the “mending and uniting of the souls of America” in the eyes of its people at the Democratic Convention in Denver 2007, so I saw on this day, and days to follow… the “inauguration of The United States of America”. The inauguration of Barack Obama on January 20, 2009 invoked awareness and a force of unity that I once witnessed during the atrocity of 911. This truly was the “Rebirth of Democracy” as the voices of the people resounded at our nation’s capitol supportive of “CHANGE”. And so… we must, and shall do our part in support of said “change”. Congratulations President Barack Obama! Congratulations America!
Greetings,
Although The Grassroots Democracy Group was not approved for the inaugural Parade, we were however, awarded Media Credentials to cover the Swearing-In Ceremony of President Elect Barack Obama at January 20, 2009's Inauguration. The Grassroots Democracy Group proposes the "Rebirth of Democracy" through the election of Barack Obama. We look forward to, and support the kind of "change" that is woven within the very fibers of what constitutes "America", yet lost in the sea of immoralities and greed. In support of the "Rebirth of Democracy", Congratulations America! Stay focus and resist divisive tactics... "Let's keep our eyes on the prize"! "Democracy", the voice and will of its entire people!
Regards,
The Grassroots Democracy Group
What is “Democracy”? The literature postulates that ancient Athens, Magna Carta, The English Bill of Rights, The Mayflower Compact, and John Locke are the sources of the US constitution. Moreover, the British philosopher, John Locke (1632-1704), among other notables, has postulate that people are the driving force of nations, not the rulers. He contended that people are born with inalienable rights, such as “life, liberty and property.” How is it then that government and others are allowed to oppose or challenge said rights of consensual beings? Although I object to the comparison of humanity (i.e., Slavery or The Holocaust, and the right that all people exist in equality of other beings), the rights of consensual adults to choose their mates is simply that…their right to do so. Don’t we have pressing issues to tend to in our Nation???? Let’s pursuit the “Change” our nation so desperately needs with a vengeance, and stay out of the bedrooms and lives of others. -The Grassroots Democracy Group - Vera
Okay folks... we get the fact that for so many years our leaders have forgotten that the United States of America is build on the "blood, sweat and tears” of its people. It’s time that we reclaim our country by coming together as a nation to demand that our voices be heard. I support Senator Obama has that leader of “Hope” for this country and the “voice of the people”…not John McCann, because “We Get It”.
