Tomorrow, many of us will gather around the table with family and friends to give thanks over a feast of turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy -- and let’s not forget pumpkin pie!

But for some in this country, the feast will not be as bountiful. In fact, it won’t be much of a feast at all. Hunger is on the rise in America -- hitting its highest levels in nearly 15 years. A recent report released by the USDA reveals that in 2008 an estimated 1.1 million children were living in households that experienced hunger multiple times over the past year.

To combat hunger this winter, we’re launching, in coordination with the Corporation for National and Community Service and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the United We Serve: Feed a Neighbor initiative -- a program that empowers you with all the resources you need to mobilize against the hunger crisis in your community. Learn how you can get started today:

Barack and I are committed to doing all we can to end hunger by making food programs more accessible to eligible families. But government can only do so much -- it will take all of us working together to put an end to hunger in America.

That’s why we’ve made it easy for you to get involved at Serve.gov. Find local volunteer opportunities like delivering meals to homebound seniors, offering your professional skills at a food pantry, or planting a community garden and sharing produce with your neighbors. You can also create your own volunteer opportunity using our anti-hunger toolkit.

This holiday season let’s recommit to serving our communities and working together to feed American families. Get started giving back today.

Thank you,

Michelle

VISIT WHITEHOUSE.GOV A bottom-up approach to greening government: Green Gov Challenge

On Monday, October 5th, 2009, President Barack Obama signed an Executive Order on Federal Sustainability – and in doing so, committed the Federal government to lead by example, practice what we preach and help build a clean energy economy through how we operate.

To harness the collective wisdom of the more than 1.8 million civilian employees and our men and women in uniform, we’re launching the GreenGov Challenge, an online participatory way for Federal employees to suggest clean energy ideas and vote on others.

Some of the top ideas will be presented to the Steering Committee on Federal Sustainability – a group comprised of a senior official from each agency who is responsible for delivering among other things, each agency’s sustainability plan.

Though anyone can see your ideas, only Federal employees can participate – so this is your chance to positively impact how your agency will meet its 2020 greenhouse gas emissions reduction target.

Be part of the GreenGov Challenge and help green our government!

The GreenGov challenge runs from Oct. 19th — 31st

That law is so Unconstitutional, discriminatory and demoralizing to those whose lives are on the line to keep us safe America! Delay is torture to our military . Support or troops and give those thirty three thousand discharged unjustly an honorable discharge and the choice to have their jobs reinstated with a cash award to mitigate the emotional pain and humiliation they endured by this atrocious hyprotical law. We do not discharge military people who admit to committing adultry which is no greater sin than any gay act in God"s eye and to ask people to lie is a breach of the ten commandments. We do not legislate religion on the job so stop acting as if we as a nation are not smart enough to know when a law is a religious bias not a safety issue America! Stop it!

Thank you Fox, for airing your dirty laundry, so we can make an informed decision on how Republican politicians in the US use prejudice and jails for registered democrats living in Texas,to win elections. well, with mybarackobama.com, your prejudice will not have a chance in the next election. Cheers to you! We can decode and read between the lines, but we have the smell of hope and we are not moved or intimidate by your old fashion prejudice political strategies because our @resident Barack Obama has a Blackberry in the Oval Office from which he continues to communicate personally with We the People Of the United States, We are voting now and we are not voting for prejudice! So saddle up your horses and ride a straight line, cowboys, the COWGIRLS are coming! Cowgirl up President Hillary and Vice President Michelle Obama we have a race to win! Don't forget the Ozark Mountain Lady Presidential Monument will be carved into the side of that mountain in 2016. Giddy up go cowgirls, we ride a fine line!

Our Second Amendment Right to Bear Arms is Fake IF a state is Allowed to Destroy that Right with Laws that Endanger Our Lives As Other People Possess Guns!

By Lillene Ebanks - Oct 3rd, 2009 at 5:33 pm EDT

Also listed in: 10 groups

I was born in a Bristish system that did not allow police to use guns to intimidate citizens, as no one could have a gun. The result was that,I never heard of any gun related deaths and the police were trusted as they carried billy clubs and believed in our Scottish Christian principles of justice tempered with compassion. This message goes out to my professors at the University of Liverpool Law Schoo: I said the British Constitution was like a car without a motor, because it looked like an automobile but it did not move, but our American Constitution could move. Well, I am wrong, because there are so many people in our American school to prison pipelines and people who are illiterate due to the use of inappropriate curriculum and public school stress tests, which private school children do not have to endure. In addition, parents with children in private schools can write notes saying their family will be on a vacation and then they can enjoy the fun. In contrast, if uninsured, poor, public school parents write notes saying their children were sick, their sick notes are rejected as they need a doctor's note or it is a truency crime. The irony and problem for Arney Duncan as our change Education Secretary to solve is, these families often can not get a doctor's note as they are uninsured and can not afford a doctor, so they use home made remidies. The most cruel and unusual puinishment that follows truency, is that public school children are hand cuffed, stripped searched, given fines which are excessive for poor people on disability income, the children are jailed, and then the children are asked to clean unmuzzled pit bull dog cages. Your Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, thank you for providing me with a place to grow up that helped me have the confidence to believe that I am a Tea Cup Princess and I know that all British Subjects believe that we are all loved by Her Majesty the Queen. Thank you for raising me to know that rights come from a heart of love, like the Bible tell us, is the greatest thing. In contrast, paper Constitutional words can easily be nullified with a prejudice heart, fueled by powerful evil people, who meet weekly in our Congress in Washington, to plan the demise of Civil Rights as Vice President Biden told us at the funeral for Senator Pell. Vice President Biden said that another Congressman told him, there was a table around which a group of Congressmen met weekly, to plan the demise of Civil Rights. But, God is in control! This generation is the 14th generation since this nation began and the era of the Good Old Boy's Club has ended. Now, we are transitioning to the Good Old Girl's Club. We will all be able to carve the face of a woman president into the Ozark Mountain side, because people like Miley Syrus, will sing this nation's children into a tight nitted, united bond, that will form a real Constitutional net, to lift us up over that mountain of inequities, excessive jails, educational land mines, pharmasutically created diseases, and unequal employment situations. Our right to vote should be guaranted by a Constutional Amendment, mandating that all prisons will have voting booths fo all government tax paid elected positions and we will know the date of the election and the place of those conceiled voting booths!! Also, we Native Americans will be recognized as American citizens. We the people of the UNITED States will not have to live with the smell of hope that we have our paper Constitutional rights. We will see, hear, feel, and smell more than a HOPE. We will smell the aroma of things hoped for, like the smell of a fresh college diploma, and a the sweet smell of a paycheck. This smell will be smelt by everyone, including,foster children who are illegally taken into our American School to Prison Pipelines or Death Pipelines, even when there are many family members who qualify to care for them, who were never given the opportunity by Texas and Tennessee Child Pprotective Services. Yes, Your Majesty, this Tea Cup Princess, and Cherokee Chief, has reconsidered her reasons for naturalizing as an American citizen because I did not know our American Constitutional paper rights were there only as a hope, not a reality for many of us!! Long live the Queen and God bless America, the land that we love, stand beside her and guide her, through this perilious fight!

Where are the crosses in Arlington Cemetary to commemerate the ultimate sacrifice of all the American Indians In their Holicost? It is a shame that the only person who verbalized our Holicost at the G20 Summit was the Venzulian President. Now the injustice continues as American Indians stive to stay near their ancient burial grounds and they are hearded up like cattle and placed in holding jails under the Patriot Act.We Native Americans are the true patriots who made the ultimate sacrifice defending this country against the runaway British invading 0colonists. Now Native Americans are called alians illegally as this land is our land, this land was made for you AND me. Chief Snow, Ice, Rain and Thunder, the great grand daughter of the Cherokee Nation native, Ben Tuk, who fled the Trail of Tairs and became a British pirate to travel on the high seas! Hoist the Jolly Roger and anchors away, the American Indians are coming!

Thank you Speaker Pelosi Angel and the rest of us are depending on your help. Thank you. We will fast and pray one meal a day until America shows compassion like the Good Samaritan. He did not consider the cost but told the hospital to give the best treatment. That is the standard set by God in His Word.

The Demise of the Fourthenth Amendment of Our Constitution

By Lillene Ebanks - Jul 16th, 2009 at 9:20 pm EDT

Also listed in: 9 groups

Thank you President Barack Obam, for helping us climb the Constitutional Ladder, by selecting a woman, Jacqueline A. Berrien, to be the Chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. When the republican senators stop trying to disqualify a minirity woman in order to perpetuate the control of the "good old boys club monolopy on jobs, education, housing, Supreme Court Justices, Presidents, and thereby writing laws that continue this situation which nullifies the benefits provided by the Fourthenth Amendment of our Constitution. When the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the fire fighters who were all caucasian males, they continued to ignore the fact that there were no women in the lawsuit and thus the case should not have been heard but for the need of the White Majority Justices in our Supreme Court to continue to keep opur United States people suffering from lack of Constitutional Equality and Protection. President Barack Obama is "GOOD GROUND" invest in him as his wife has felt the pain and has EMPATHY for the sufferings of the majority who are now labeled minorities. The Porter, Texas firefighter supervisor told me that I could not do the job as I was a woman and was not strong enough to haul out another firefighter who was trapped. I saved a woman,s life by giving CPR as she passed out from symptoms of a stroke at the beauty salon before the fire fighters arrived and she possibly would have been in a coma by that time as every minute counts. Proof of the accuracy of these statements can be found by imagining a representative sample of people on the United States Supreme Court: five women and four men, including about two causasian women, one caucasian man (this sould be a country like the other races), one African American woman, one African American man, one Hispanic American woman, and one American Indian man, one Oriental American man, and one Arabic American woman and they ask yourself what would the holding have been? I think it would have been seven to one in favor of the minority fire fighters who did not have the equal opportunity to prepare for the test because of their past educational experiences and because the test was probabely biased in fovor of the caucasian males and written by a group of causian males for that purpose. I am an educational diagnostician and I have seen thousands of secured tests. One IQ test that is no longer in use is a Standford Binet test and this was the biased IQ question. There was a picture of a caucasian woman with her hair combed and her clothes ironed, and there was an African American woman with her hair all messed up and pooking up all over the place and her clothes were tattered and the question on the IQ test was "WHICH IS MORE BEAUTIFUL?". So United States Supreme Court Justices and Republican NO Sayers to the appointment of Justice Sootamayer consider that it is years of this type of inequity that the Fourthententh Amendment was meant to prevent. Since the Foruthententh Amendment overides all other laws Justice Soothmeyer's ruling against the firefighters and her statement that her experiences will help her is quite accurate as we can see how you discriminated against the poor African American who did not have adequate preperation for the test and the law that was controling was not case law but the fourthenth Amendmendment of our Constitution. Will you just do us the favor and voluntariily resign so we can see the effects of a Constitution that works for all the people. In God we trust. We are the fourthenth generation from the time this nation was founded. and read the genelogy of Jesus to see the significance. In the year we went to Bablyon we were the fourthenth generation.

From OFA Director Mitch Stewart:

Every single day, special interests spend a staggering $1.4 million lobbying Congress to shut down the President's agenda for health care reform. To fix our broken system, we'll have to counter big corporate money with a grassroots network of folks like you.

More than 100,000 Americans have now donated to our grassroots campaign for health care reform. Because of that support, volunteers are knocking on hundreds of thousands of doors, health care story ads are on the air, and voters are writing and calling Congress to make their voices heard. We're off to a great start, but as the pressure builds in Washington we need to ramp up our efforts to build support in every corner of the country.

If you make a donation by midnight on Thursday, July 16th to power our health care campaign, you could join President Obama in Chicago so he can thank you in person.

Will you make a donation of $5 or more today, and be entered for the opportunity to meet the President in Chicago?
You'll also be invited to a special Organizing for America strategy briefing to discuss the latest in our campaign for real health care reform.

Your donation will help fund our grassroots campaign for real care reform that reduces costs, guarantees every American the choice of plan and doctor -- including a public insurance option -- and ensures quality care for all.

The chance to make this kind of fundamental change is exactly why we put it all on the line to win last year's election. Now is our moment to deliver the real progress America needs.

Will you make a donation of $5 or more by midnight on Thursday, July 16th to support health care reform, and be entered for the opportunity to join the President in Chicago next week?

Thanks for your support,

Mitch

Mitch Stewart
Director
Organizing for America

P.S. -- Can't make a donation right now? That's ok, you can sign up here to be entered for the opportunity to meet President Obama in Chicago and join us for a special strategy briefing.

"Ready to act on health care"

Fifteen years ago, many felt that if they couldn't have exactly the change they wanted, their second choice was no change at all. Last week, there were no defenders of the status quo. More than one Republican member of Congress agreed with the principles the president laid out for reform. Even a representative of the insurance companies that famously played such a huge role in killing reform in the 1990s pledged the industry's cooperation this time around.

In the past month alone, there has been important progress toward the goal of providing affordable, high-quality healthcare to all Americans. The children's health bill the president signed provides and protects coverage for 11 million children, while the Recovery Act ensures that 7 million men and women who have lost their jobs through this recession can keep their insurance. It also made critical investments in electronic medical records, prevention programs, and funding for research on the effectiveness of care.

PINCH ME

I am so happy that Obama is our new President. Finally a competent man in the White House. After McCain and Palin threw every negative thing they could at him, the American people rejected it.

This was a landslide, a complete mandate and I could not be more happy. I can't believe it is over. I look forward to seeing Obama take over in January.

I have to literally keep pinching myself.

So many emotions ran through me over the last two years. I fought hard for Obama during the primaries and the general election. I did this because I believed in him so completely. Mostly, I became obsessed with seeing him win for my children. They deserve a president that can get us out of this mess that George W and his cronies put us in.

On Halloween night I had 15 McCain/Palin signs put up on my lawn by some rednecks that didn't like my support of Obama.

I left ALL the signs up and then added one by my mailbox for EVERYONE that comes into my little republican cul-de-sac to see.

PRESIDENT OBAMA SAYS THANKS FOR REDISTRIBUTING THE WEALTH.

I THOUGHT THAT WAS APPROPRIATE.
