            <title>President Obama Speech To New Orleans</title>
            <description>&lt;em&gt;President Obama&#039;s speech to New Orleans&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Gloria Keith comments:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;President Obama&#039;s speech to New Orleans is a message about &amp;quot;Our (America&#039;s) Duty to the Unfortunate&amp;quot;. It is Our (America&#039;s) responsibility to pity the blind, the lame, the afflicted, the widows, the orphans, and all the needy. And, President Obama is going about America, New Orleans, La., and other cities and states, to right the wrong in America that has been established, here, far too long. President Obama&#039;s greatest battle is his fight against an established leadership format&amp;nbsp;of evildoers, in America.&lt;br /&gt;President Obama has set out to change the America that has, far too long, blindly supported leadership in America with frozen sympathies. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Leadership who were partakers of the riches of God&#039;s grace, yet, who withdrew their interests and their sympathies from their fellow Americans, in New Orleans, Louisiana, and other places in America, like New Orleans, 4-5 years ago? President Obama seeks the necessary changes to America, where leadership in the White House and in the USA Congress who will no longer indulge in pride of rank or caste and despise the unfortunate and poor, like those leaders who turned America&#039;s back&amp;nbsp; against the southern cities and states affected by Katrina and other places where human beings experienced the same or worse crises in the recent past.&lt;br /&gt;There are many in America with frozen sympathies. But, there are many more America whose sympathies are now crucially melted and stand with President Obama to rid America of poverty and&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Other afflictions destroying our great America---United States of America&lt;/em&gt;</description>

            <title>Rachel Maddow Deals with &quot;Frozen Sympathies&quot;</title>
            <description>&lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 15pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoTitle&quot;&gt;Rachel Maddow is dealing directly with that part of America who is partakers of the riches of the grace of God, yet has frozen sympathies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Rachel Maddow is dealing directly with that part of America who is partakers of the riches of the grace of God, yet has frozen sympathies. Tim Phillips and others who claim Christianity, yet, who have withdrawn their interests and their sympathies from their fellow human beings. How can these Christians indulge in pride of rank or caste and despise the unfortunate and the poor, while using Christ as their covering. Yet, it is too true that the pride of rank and oppression of the poor which prevail, in America, exists also among professed leadership and followers of Christ. With many professed Christians, in America, the sympathies that ought to be exercised in full measure toward humanity seem frozen up. The rich grind the face of the poor and use the means thus gained to indulge their pride and love of display even in the house of God. It is God who has revealed love to the poor and lowly through our present elected and confirmed American leader, President Obama. Without President Obama declaration for change in America throughout his presidential campaign, America would be a sad place for the poor humankind---President Obama&#039;s vision for new and changed leadership in America, makes condition of the unfortunate man, woman, boy and girl, America&#039;s own. For when one person struggles with honest endeavor to sustain himself and his family, and yet is unable to do this, so that they suffer for necessary food and clothing, God will not pronounce our Christian leadership guiltless if they look on with indifference or prescribe conditions for the Christian who is virtually impossible of fulfillment...for Christians are to make the condition of the unfortunate American our own, not feed fear into the mouths of the poor and hungry as Tim Phillips and his organization does to the grassroots...in America.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>My Condolences To Senator Kennedy Family. I am Glad To Be A Letter From Senator Kennedy To The World</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;My condolences to Senator Kennedy&#039;s Family: We are letters from Senator Kennedy(Health Care Reform Visionary), to America and the wide world.&amp;nbsp; Committment: Senator Kennedy, your letters will deliver your message to America and the wide worldThe apostle Paul said to the disciples of Jesus, &amp;quot;Ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;known and read of all men.&amp;quot; In every one of Senator Kennedy&#039;s family members, friends, colleagues in the senate and house of representatives, President Obama sends letters to the world. If we are President Obama&#039;s advocates, he sends in you a letter from Senator Kennedy&amp;nbsp;to Senator Kennedy&#039;s family,&amp;nbsp; to our cities, our counties, United States,&amp;nbsp; the streets, where we live. Senator Kennedy, right now, dwelling in your hearts and minds, including my heart and mind,&amp;nbsp;desires to speak to the hearts of those&amp;nbsp; Americans, who are not acquainted with the Health care Reform Plan.&amp;nbsp; Perhaps they do not read President Obama&#039;s letters from Senator Kennedy nor do they hear the voice of the President when he speaks in Town Hall meets, television commercials and talk shows, reaching out to America in each page of Senator Kennedy&#039;s documents; they do not see the love and humanity of President Obama, through his works, because of the lies and confusion stemming from &amp;quot;Haters&amp;quot; such as&amp;nbsp;Palin, Limbaugh, OReilly, Pat Buchanan, etc.&amp;nbsp;But if you and I, true advocates of President Obama and letters of Senator Kennedy, it may be that through you and I, America will be led to understand something of President Obama&#039;s godliness(goodness), and be won to love and serve humanity. (&lt;em&gt;stps t chp.119egw).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;The literature we (advocates of President Obama/Senator Kennedy) leave in the homes of Americans, will bear fruit.___ &amp;quot;Your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace,&amp;quot; you and I will be prepared to walk from house to house carrying Senator Kennedy&#039;s true vision of Health care Reform to America.&amp;nbsp; Sometime advocates of the Health Care Reform package, will find it very trying to do the work of this kind; yet if we, advocates, go forth in faith, President Obama will succeed in delivering Senator Kennedy&#039;s letter of light(Health Care Reform Pkg.2009), and his leadership will brightly shine upon yours and my pathway to deliver (letter-&amp;nbsp;health care reform package.)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;As you and I enter the homes of yours and my neighbor to sell or simply give-away&amp;nbsp;the Health care Reform Plan, and in humility to give them the truth (Health Care Reform pkg) And, know that each one of us, letters of Senator Kennedy will be accompanied by his spirit--- &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;God will soon do more great things for us if we lie humble and believing Health care Reform will pass because its the very best thing that could happen&amp;nbsp;for America....More than a thousand more will soon be converted in one day and accept Health care Reform plan as envisioned by Senator Kennedy. May he rest in peace. We shall find Senator&#039;s Kennedy&#039;s footprints at the bedside of the sick, in the hovels of poverty, in the crowded alleys of New York City, and every place where there are human hearts in need of consolation. In doing as Senator Kennedy did upon earth, we, letters of Senator Kennedy, shall walk in his footsteps...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Gloria J. Hunt Keith&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;24 Harrison Avenue Apt. 210&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Panama City, Floria 32401&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hme Ph. 850-215-3395&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;cell: 850-319-6307&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:gloriahnt@yahoo.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;gloriahnt@yahoo.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://actiog.ning.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://actiog.ning.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Judge Sotomayor Is The Woman Who Will Wisely Improve Justice In America For All</title>
            <description>Judge Sotomayor Will &quot;Enlarge The Sphere of Usefulness&quot; In The Courts of Justice In America. She is the woman who will Wisely Improve Justice System In America for All.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
      Not all Americans &quot;have the same work. There are distinct and individual duties for each to perform; yet with these varied duties, there may be a beautiful harmony, binding the work of all together in perfect fitness.&quot;(e. g. w.)&lt;br /&gt;
     President Obama, 44th President, USA, has chosen Judge Sotomayor because she fits in the position of the Supreme Court Judge, USA, at this time and within his leadership in America, 2009.&lt;br /&gt;
       It is not required of Judge Sotomayor to be the master mind of America&#039;s Justice System to change all the injustices and errors made in America through past judges. Judge Sotomayor has demonstrated improvement in every fitted position, whereas, she has served. We, America, standing with our 44th President, Barack Obama believe that Judge Sotomayor will wisely use her talents, now, as she gains more wisdom, as Supreme Court Judge, her power will increase of influence and sphere of usefulness. &lt;br /&gt;
     Judge Sotomayor will make the best use of her talents. Judge Sotomayor individuality is distinctly preserved, and yet, she will be part of the great whole, leadership body, our 44th President is creating to advance the work of reform so greatly needed and awaits, in America, today, 2009 and beyond.&lt;br /&gt;
     Judge Sotomayor is the chosen Supreme Court Judge, just as President Barack Hussein Obama is America&#039;s chosen President for 2009 and beyond.&lt;br /&gt;

            <title>Michelle Obama Appreciates Artistic Creativity Stimulating Positive Motivation</title>
            <description>&lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot; class=&quot;Publishwithline&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Michelle Obama&amp;lsquo;s Appreciation for Artistic Creativity Stimulates Positive Creativity Motivation In Humanity&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Historically, America&amp;rsquo;s Traditional ideas of education take &amp;ldquo;too narrow and too low a range for generations of America&amp;rsquo;s children. America needs a broader scope, a higher aim. &amp;nbsp;Mrs. Michelle Obama recognizes that &amp;ldquo;True Education&amp;rdquo; really means more than the pursuit of a certain course of study. &amp;ldquo;True Education&amp;rdquo; must incorporate more than a preparation for a future in a limited field of study to gain economic stability for &amp;ldquo;now life&amp;rdquo;. Creativity (The Arts) is a necessary part of the whole human being, and with the whole human life existence of the human being. The harmonious development of the physical, the mental and the spiritual powers is True Education.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;True Education&amp;rdquo; must include preparing the student for the joy of artistic creative service in this world, even in times of distress and depression, the student is able to return to the drawing board, literally, creating a way out of his/her pain and sufferings of unemployment and other undeserving oppression. Michelle Obama could not have chosen a more necessary formula, in these dark days, than to inspire suffering Americans to return to and reflect on America&amp;rsquo;s inner strengths and beauty, Artistic Creativity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Several American clients, who lost their jobs during this recession, have found pleasure and economic assistance in rethinking their artistic abilities, creating things that other people need and yet, is a market for. Their creative art ideas, developed, and produced, professionally, and publicly, are helping the recently unemployed to stay above water, economically as well as finding higher joy in America.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The American Creator of Art gains more fully reflection of his/her purpose, when appreciated, specifically, by the beautiful and caring wife , Michelle, of our 44th President , USA.&amp;nbsp; Now, we could only hope that the truth of Michelle Obama&amp;rsquo;s mission to raise the creative art interest will be spread throughout America and the wide-world, as it is, to let America know that a recession is not the end of the world for the American.&amp;nbsp; There is more Artistic Creativity in every American. &amp;nbsp;America can gain new treasures of knowledge, and fresh springs of happiness, to be obtained, as well as conceptions of wisdom and power and love in every piece of Art. And, America has yet, to finish, fully, Artistic Creativity in America.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Michelle Obama did good to open wider, the Artistic minds of Americans to bring back the perfection in which humanity was created, to inspire the full development of body, mind, soul, that the natural and spiritual purpose might be realized by the artist and the respondent thereof.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Every child is born gifted. All humanity is created in the image of God, individually, empowered to think and to develop their creativity. Appreciation of this natural creativity stimulates positive motivation of the artist. We give thanks to Mrs. Michelle Obama&amp;nbsp; for inspiring Artists, everywhere, to use their creative power to come up and out of their distress and depression caused by this recent recession.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Gloria Keith&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:gloriahnt@yahoo.com&quot;&gt;gloriahnt@yahoo.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <description>&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;President Obama&#039;s 100 plus days in office as The President of the United States In America&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;ul class=&quot;navigation byline&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;Posted by &lt;a href=&quot;http://my.barackobama.com/profile/GloriaJHuntKeith&quot;&gt;Gloria J. Hunt Keith&lt;/a&gt; on May 13, 2009 at 3:55pm &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://actiog.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?user=1624x42ai8dte&quot;&gt;View My Blog&lt;/a&gt; An Open Letter Of Appreciation To Our Mr. President 44, Barack Hussein Obama For His Work 100 Days, Plus&lt;br /&gt;President Barack Hussein Obama Has Led A Busy 100 Days, Plus&lt;br /&gt;Health (Care) Reform Now Focus of Our President 44&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a busy 100 plus days, President Obama has led. Day by day, President Obama has been seen challenging the traditions of America&amp;rsquo;s past. He has begun the redevelopment and restoration of the traditional good, (humanity), tearing down the traditional bad, (negatives: oppression in all its forms), yet, humbly introducing the positive, (new and progressive). Our 44th President has been seen entering the doors of the humble abodes, meeting with America&amp;rsquo;s and the wide-world greatest minds, as well as richest, average, and poorest Americans in America and many others in the wide-world. President Obama has been signing legislation into laws, creating Bills, making appointments, that will better America&amp;rsquo;s humanity as well as rebuild the economy, nationally and internationally. President Obama began his Presidency speaking hope to the downcast and peace to the distressed. Yet, President Obama has never been secretive about giving a break to the middle (working) class, who, in the past eight years, under a different leadership, was overlooked when it came to taxes.&lt;br /&gt;In America and the wide-world, people are drawn to President Obama, before and during his Presidency, now, by his ready sensitivity to humanity. By his empowering words in speeches, specifically during his Election and his Inauguration addresses, and the press conferences he has given on many occasions since his presidency, his loving words have settled the minds of many who were angry and confused about their positions, as homemakers, employees, as well as simply, Americans. Often, from the very beginning of his presidency, President and Mrs. Obama have invited senators and representatives, democratic and republican, into his environment, in the White House, to talk with them, in a way to win their hearts with truth and honesty. President Obama&amp;rsquo;s unselfish words fell on good hearts, but, also on hardest of hearts. Yet, our President44, is determine to make change happen in America and the wide-world, to include equality for women and children, men of multi-races and classes.&lt;br /&gt;Health (Care) Reform is the pioneer work of America&amp;rsquo;s 44th President, USA. Health Reform Is the Door &amp;ldquo;through which truth for this era will find entrance to&amp;rdquo; many doubting and confused Americans and others in the wide-world. Health Reform administrators, advisers, workers and others involved in the structuring of Health (Care) Reform must be genuine in their hearts for Health Reform. They will learn the needs of Americans, both body and mind. The &amp;ldquo;purest unselfishness&amp;rdquo; to be demonstrated by Health Care Reform workers is to assure the sick and suffering in America will be given treatment by medical professionals with the knowledge and experience gained by practically working with those in need of their medical services. As the medical service workers go from patient to patient, they find access too many hearts. The change in Health Care over a period of time will reach Americans, who otherwise would never be eligible for Health Care.&lt;br /&gt;Children, the poor and suffering, pitiful, will receive the greatest share of attention and love from our 44th President, and his team of expertise, tenderheartedness, humanitarians, (people doing good, those feeding the hungry, lifting up the bowed down, comforting the sorrowing,) when it comes to Health Reform.&lt;br /&gt;Over the past 100 days, plus, President Obama has not shown a &amp;ldquo;thread of selfishness woven in his fabric&amp;rdquo; as the President of the United States of America nor as the man that was introduced and that he has presented to America and the wide-world, throughout his campaign, his election, his inauguration, nor during his 100, plus days as the 44th President of these United States of America.&lt;br /&gt;America has seen our President 44, USA, as a father of his children and as a husband to his wife, as they, too, follows in his footsteps as the first family of America. The President and his family are living life as they want others to live. We, America, have seen President Obama and his family in the soup kitchens of local organizations, feeding the hungry, in town hall meetings, President Obama helped individuals, who expressed needs and he, President Obama has brought faith and hope and now with Health Reform, our 44th President of the United States of America will bring back life to those who wouldn&amp;rsquo;t otherwise get to see a medical professional to treat or cure their illness.&lt;br /&gt;President Obama and family, Action Speaks families appreciate you and your family&amp;rsquo;s hard and difficult work you&amp;rsquo;ve done and challenges you have made during the first 100 days, plus.&lt;br /&gt;Gloria J.

            <title>How My Nana Helped Senator Barack Obama Win the 44th Presidency. Why My Nana Will Never Give Up On President Barack Hussein Obama, 44th President of the United States of America.Posted by Gloria J. Hunt Keith on April 12, 2009 at 5:30am</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Preface/Introduction To Book:ACTION SPEAKS: I Helped To Elect Senator Barack Hussein Obama President 44, United States of America. I Have No Requets. I Will Continue My UnDying Advocacy&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How My Nana Helped Senator Barack Obama Win the 44th Presidency. Why My Nana Will Never Give Up On President Barack Hussein Obama, 44th President of the United States of America.&lt;br /&gt;Edited By: Gloria J. Hunt Keith Co-Edited By: Agnes Hardy&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An Open Letter Explaining and Detailing My Presidential Advocacy (Committed Support) For:&lt;br /&gt;Mr. President 44, Barack Hussein Obama, USA.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I Surrender and Commit my undying, everlasting, Support, without any doubt, now, never nor ever will be any doubt that Mr. President 44, Barack Hussein Obama, USA, will lead America and the Wide-world from the worst recession ever, in my lifetime towards a Rational Human Society.&lt;br /&gt;I pledge my deepest trust, unselfishly, to President Obama to do not my thing, but the Right Thing.&lt;br /&gt;Example of trusting President 44 to do &amp;ldquo;my thing&amp;rdquo; or &amp;ldquo;your thing&amp;rdquo;: Keith Olberman, Tuesday night, April 7, 2009, expressed his feelings on half-baked information about the releasing of documents involving the past president, staff and team. I didn&amp;rsquo;t believe Olberman&amp;rsquo;s turn of heart should have been aired as it was. Olberman, if one thing, or more will stir you up, that much, confusing and turning the thousands of gullible minds, then, perhaps, you should not speak at all about our President, unless you can give constructive criticism of our standing President 44, Barack Hussein Obama, USA.&lt;br /&gt;Each of us, advocates for Mr. President 44, must carefully use our words. Too many people listen to us, Mr. Olberman. Thank you for listening to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:gloriahnt@yahoo.com&quot;&gt;gloriahnt@yahoo.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I Still Support President Obama Master Plan &lt;br /&gt;President 44, Barack Obama Master Plan includes Major Issues in America To Resolve:&lt;br /&gt;Economic Crisis?&lt;br /&gt;Health Care Reform?&lt;br /&gt;Education Crisis?&lt;br /&gt;Energy Reform?&lt;br /&gt;Gloria Keith&lt;br /&gt;News Type: Opinion with documentation and actions taken and are working.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wednesday, April 08, 2009, 6:32:52 AM | Gloria Keith&lt;br /&gt;The critical elements President Barack Obama uses that have demonstrated an effective strategy dealing with economic crisis, health Care Reform proposal, Education crisis, Energy project. Although, the bulk of the above listed projects have not yet, been, activated, they are inclusive in Mr. President 44, Barack Obama, USA, Master Plan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Commentary by author: Since my involvement with President Barack Hussein Obama&amp;rsquo;s campaign and presidency, I initiated and further am engaged in a series of postings describing five critical elements necessary for effective strategy in our current, yet, transformational America and ever-changing wide world.&lt;br /&gt;The one specific question that I ask and research daily, objectively and subjectively,&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;Is President Obama staying focused on the issues and using the very best logical strategy to transform America and the wide-world to a peaceful, and viable nation and international?&amp;rdquo; Yes. The majority of America agrees with me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What are the critical elements of an effective strategy in the in America?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Critical Element Number 1. Persistent patient explanation to all sections of the American population and others like us in the wide-world that the survival of humankind and the effective solving of America&#039;s economic and other problems of any sections of American population is now crucially dependent on the transformation from Bush to Obama from an irrational leadership to a rational leadership, a society where a few persons own the majority, one group spends and another group works and reap very little benefit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Critical Element Number 2. Never realizing until now, how powerful they, the middle-class (working-class) are to the progressive growth and productivity in America until Obama, gently explained it. Obama shared the message that everyone can own in common what they have worked for.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Critical Element Number 3. The hope that Obama brings to America and the wide-world, what every human-being or every voter heard and understood was that, the preservation of the environment, the ending of pollution, the intervention of the war, and possibly the prevention of other wars, the prevention of nuclear holocaust, the curbing of crime, the functioning of the educational systems, the intervention and possibly some prevention of world starvation, adequate health care, and the ending of racist, sexist and all other oppressions, can no longer, any of them, be achieved to any satisfactory degree without the transformation from Bush to Obama presidency.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Critical Element Number 4. And, today, a large group of people, millions, as was seen during the election of Barack Obama, are reaching the very same conclusion for themselves, as I wrote above. So, when such a conclusion is given voice, it will meet ready agreement. This agreement that we share in common, can and will only be hindered by people&#039;s fears--such fears about taking any initiative for their own survival; and by the apathetic &amp;quot;trust&amp;quot; in the present &#039;oppressive&#039; leaders in varying capacities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Critical Element Number 5. As visionaries and/or help-meets of the new Presidency, we can reach these people with the required sturdiest optimism and the most transient firmness on our part--rejecting their painful emotional rigidities but insisting that the people themselves can take a different attitude, can be valuable in the struggle to making more change happen in America under the presidency of Barack Obama.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another crucial step, where we can assist our new Presidency is with the education and organization of the middle-class (working), particularly industrial middle-class, (auto and other blue collar workers) in the basic industries, industries on which all other industries depend. (mcw making $30,000.00 yr. while CEO make $30million yr.) We can help with the improvement of middle-class consciousness, the organization of the unorganized workers in trade unions, reclaiming of small business control and the initiatives helping American workers to seek alliances with other progressive people movements, such as consumers, environmentalists, farmers, etc. in America and spreading to the wide-world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;American workers in basic industries are yet losing jobs and are the very same Americans whom the present economic system has put in the position of powerlessness. And, many, of whom, have been brainwashed into accepting an attitude of powerlessness because of the present governance.&lt;br /&gt;The campaign and the recent election of Obama wasn&#039;t just helping Barack Obama to be the elected USA President, but the past 2 years served as a continuing force for middle-class powerlessness, to rediscover their power as an essential for their own survival and the survival of their families and friends.&lt;br /&gt;And, another important lesson learned in the recently political actions demonstrated it is not the present leaders of this capitalist structure of the American society that have the real power. The present &amp;quot;lame duck&amp;quot; leader has little or no power to go in a progressive direction, although this leadership is in commitment with the American people to do all necessary to keep America running productively. Still, present American leadership is able only to move, themselves and others continually into a confused direction, not having a workable vision to overcome this economic depth America is in.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And, although, middle-class America seems beyond hope and restoration, it is the American middle-class workers in basic industries, auto productivity, etc., patiently waiting to support a clear-thinking President, Barack Obama. We must remember in all of our criticism and fearful commentary, President -elect Barack Obama is the change-agent. We, also, must continue to have faith that President-elect Obama makes decisions based on his leadership necessities to move America ahead of the difficulties purposely or accidently.&lt;br /&gt;The greatest barrier that stood in the way of President-elect Obama, Obama overcame it with the millions and millions of Americans believing in him and wanting what he has to give America and inspiring every American to work with his positive and progressive program plan of action.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This article was tagged with the following:&lt;br /&gt;politics, strategy, economic, effective&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Action Speaks To Health Care Needs In Our Community</title>
            <description>Action Speaks to Health Care Needs in Our CommunityDescription:Senator Daschle should come to our event because our Bay County Community has been &amp;quot;bypassed by civil rights, and every human rights program initiative and implementation, extended, continually to heal our Disadvantaged Residents (trying to) Enter America&#039;s Mainstream(D. R. E. A. M.). These Disadvantaged Residents are, disproportinally, being &amp;quot;left to die&amp;quot; without helping healing hands of those Health Care Centers and Programs in our community, directly , in our environment. Just last week, 3 residents came to me for help in acquiring appropriate Health Care. 1. A 61 year old Black woman, working-class, worked in the postion as Managing Cashier for over 15 years. Victim of Automobile Accident at the end of 15 years of service to one business. She had trouble acquiring the appropriate health care which , upon partial healing, her physician determined that she would be unable to return to any public Relations job or position because of damages done by the automobile accident. She was forced to go back to the same type of work which would provide her some type of Health Care Insurance. She worked for another year as cashier-retail. Her disability--neurological, forced her to , yet, seek another job career. She found a job as Senior Custodian for a religous organization. She worked for 10 years. On October 30, 2008, she was told 15 minutes before 4PM, &amp;quot;R---, we are having a staff meeting in about the next 15 minutes. While she was finishing up her work in a designated section of the building, her supervisor walked in behind her, along with 2 other administrators, outright , without remorse of her situation, tolerating continuing pain, so that she would have, especially , decent Health Care Insurance where she could continue some degree of natural healing and medical treatment. On October 30, 2008, her Blue Cross Blue Shied ended. She didn&#039;t have any idea that her health care insurance would end, immediately, as her 10 years of service to this religous organization, exceeding her job duties, to maintain her insurance, specifically. A few days later, she found out there was no &amp;quot;unemployment&amp;quot; to draw temporary income, while she looked diligently for employment. She has no help to continue to get some kind of emergency health care...I am working with her on acquiring some amount of Health Care, whether from a private grant, public grant, or human development org that would provide her with health care assistance in her forced transition of her livelihood. 2. Another local American Disadvataged Resident, age 59, voted the first time, for President-Elect Obama. He&#039;s black male. He spent over 30 years of his life in prison, for crimes he &amp;quot;couldn&#039;t control alone, parents and other family disfunctunal to the highest degree. While in prison, he sought God, through Muslim Doctrine. He changed his name. And, on that note, allegations of crime, continued damaging him, naturally and spiritually. He seeking any job and willingly going to work. But, every day, his legs swell up without any medical treatments or medicines. While in prison, he was being treated as diabetic patient. On his relief papers from this incarseration, no mention of his diabetic treatment. There&#039;s no immediate Health Care assistance, he is forced to contend with swelling legs, everyday, trying to do hard labor. There is no ideal of what is causing this daily swelling, nor does he know what kind of Health care needs he has. He needs immediate Health Care. 3. Military black male trying for the fifth time, to draw disability, specifically, that he can have appropriate medical treatment and medications necessary for him to live. He has been residing at the &amp;quot;Local Mission&amp;quot; since March 2008. This American soldier grew up here. His father worked over 30 years at the &amp;quot;shipyard&amp;quot;(now closed and Daddy and Mother Deceased). His past includes he was the one and only black male student allowed in a local white school, as band member. He was also identified as a &amp;quot;Gifted child&amp;quot; minority in 1969. He has been forced from his parents&#039; property to live. He has documents proving he is one of three children, on the official deed of property, where he lived with 2 other siblings , and 2 parents. He has no finances. Forced from his home. Warrants of &amp;quot;No Tresspass&amp;quot;. He appears to have some mental healthcare, immediately. He has had a stroke. And, 2 heart attacks. He is 56 years old. And, a veteran from the previous war. He fought for the lives of other Americans. Yet, he can&#039;t get the assistance of America&#039;s Health Care assistance. Panama City, Bay, Florida is long overdue for &amp;quot;Change&amp;quot; ILike, President-Elect Obama, envisioned a &amp;quot;Change&amp;quot; program to enhance excellence Education for my three bona fide Gifted and Talented&amp;quot; Children. Though I was injustly convicted of taking my children out of the local school system, I implemented an excellent education program which guaranteed my 3 gifted children would have appropriate individualized education that met each child&#039;s educational necessities. All of my children, black, have succeeded the American Education institution, and are living independently, taking care of their families, with raising gifted children, (my grandchildren), using the smae education program that I, first implemented with my children and others like them. I was also able to reach out into the community , implementing the very same education foundation on Heritage to make some changes happen in Panama City, Bay Florida. I know this community, and have, in the past, implemented many &amp;quot;Meet The Needs&amp;quot; seminars and workshops on Health Issues to benefit disadvantaged Residents (trying to) Enter Into America Mainstream. The problem is &amp;quot;Uncontrolled Prejudice and Discrimination&amp;quot; in the seats of local, state and national program leadership. This oppressive leadership has never been appropriately challenged because of a lack of advocacy for those of us, positive activists, visionaries, when it comes to implementing health care and other positive programs beneficial to the working - class, middle-class and poverty-strickened American Residents. &amp;quot;Our Cry for A King&amp;quot; is real---demonstrated in the Presidential Election Nov 2008. Florida added over 600 Thousand more voters. A visit to our Health Care Seminar will be an answer to many prayers, an inspiration and encouragement as well as a &amp;quot;Challenge of Faith---&amp;quot; to each and every middle-class, working-class, senior citizens and disabled Americans. And, so, we begin, again, with the presidential, and other advocacy of the most recent orgainzations, I have joined, because of my realistic commitment to support our new President 2009-2012, I will host as well as coordinate and implement this &amp;quot;Health Care&amp;quot; Seminar December 26, 2008 in my apartment/ residential recreation room of my residential building in Panma City, Florida. Time 6pm-8pm. I will also order Health Care pamplets/literature to hand out from CDC, Washington/Atlanta. Senator Daschel will be welcome as well as appreciated, if the decision is to share our program on HealthCare.

Hunt KeithIntroductory: The &amp;quot;Chicago Politics is Provoked and Led by American Oppressor and thier Agents. See How Its Done. Here. President Obama is a &amp;quot;Good Guy&amp;quot; So, American Oppressors, like &amp;quot;leadership of the &amp;quot;Pioneer Fund&amp;quot; Will Continue to Try and Stop Obama&#039;s Supporter. It a Tradition that has worked for years and years based in the ignorance of American People. Oppressors haven&#039;t changed. The American People have awaken from ignorance and have chosen a President, finally, who ignites America Intelligence.The following are unsolved questions, I have. Of course, the unsolved questions are not all, just some of the most important ones I came up with, quickly. I havent listed them here to discourage anyone. Only our anxieties would say that we must have an answer or we cant think about a question. You know your joy in solving puzzles. We will always have unsolved questions, and thank goodness. Theres nothing worse for a human intelligence than boredom, than having all the answers. You find this working with clients, If you want the client to face the terror they cant bring themselves to face, just give them a direction and make them repeat it, repeat it, and repeat it. Their defenses will keep them from thinking about it as they repeat it: &amp;quot;Theres a fear out there Im scared to look at...&amp;quot; You keep saying, &amp;quot;Again,&amp;quot; and afdter a while they cannot stand boredom and think about it. The future is always unpredictable, and part of this unpredictability is that at any time there are some problems we havent solved. I propose these:1. Shall we set any limit to the class position of the people with whom we seek alliances?Discussion:&lt;br /&gt;I suspect the answer is that we should not. Circumstances will force enough people into the position of our enemies without us accelerating the process. We should try to build our alliances as far as we possibly can on any basis and try to neutralize people a little past that, hoping they will see the light at the last moment and drop their guns. In practice we havent done enough thinking and discharging. Is there any limit? Should we try to reform Ben Lothen, who is hiding out in the Middle East, when we finally get our hands on him? I suspect we will try not to give up on anybody. We have to think how this works out in our practical work.2. How can we have a united, disciplined, leadership body and at the same time preserve complete openness on the struggle of ideas within its ranks(which recent events in India compel the neccessity of?)Discussion: How could other Countries, with brilliant leadership and tremendous devotion, get turned into an agency for oppression in a very short time, just because the leader died( or at least in part because of that)? How could it become so corroded? Certainly there was the failure to have enough discussion, even though discussion was always very open in the other Countrys leadership amongst its people compared with another, or even compared with the American leadership, which modeled itself on another countrys leadership. Over and over again, I may have gone along with decisions that I felt terrible about, in the past, because unity and discipline were necessary. As a part of the leadership in past organizations, I spent my time rationalizing to other people things that I really felt were. Its a very destructive process. We must have unity and discipline when we seek to change the world in crisis situations, yet we must also preserve complete openness for the struggle of ideas. Should the struggle of ideas take place privately, while in public we hold to group decisions, but with freedom to go back and privately challenge them again until it works out? Its an unsolved problem, but I want to raise it very sharply, because this is the one that the other 43 Presidents didnt solve. We need to solve it, because we can see how lack of a solution eroded the otherwise great strength of many previous America change efforts.Unsolved Questions--Unended Discussions for &amp;quot;Our New Presidency&amp;quot;3. How can we intransigently oppose an incorrect idea and at the same time treat with complete respect the person who advances that idea?Discussion: All of our experience says that you cannot compromise with wrong ideas. You can&#039;t have a &amp;quot;little oppression&amp;quot; just so people will feel comfortable, because pretty quickly it will take over.&lt;br /&gt;In America, we know theoretically, and try to use practically, the division beyween person and pattern. The person and pattern are not the same. Sometimes, out there on the street, we have to deal with them as if they were. If somebody is coming down on us with a rubber hose, we don&#039;t yet have the tools to say, &amp;quot;Remember, you are a good person in there(laughter).&amp;quot; As the victim once said, don&#039;t try counseling the rapist. Theoretically, however, the distinction must be made. We know the answer lies in that direction, but we have to face the fact that we don&#039;t know how to do this well enough yet.4 . Once power is gained by the New Presidential transformation of America, how can we prevent the resurgence of the old oppressive ideas in the minds and actions of the leadership group?Facts necessary to point out:&lt;br /&gt;Oppressor- Agent: ( Governor Blajevich, Governor of Illinois, guilty or not guilty of the charges made by the Federal Investigator, is used as resurgant in American leadership of Governance to taint the new Presidency 2009-2012).Discussion:&lt;br /&gt;When a united, disciplined leadership has taken power, how do we prevent the corrosion? How do we stop the old oppressive ideas from arising inside the organs of power?&lt;br /&gt;There&#039;s no question that corruption resurges. Wherever there&#039;s power, there&#039;s a tendency for it to corrupt. Older writers have said, &amp;quot;Power corrupts.&amp;quot; It&#039;s not that. Power tends to corrupt. I think we can understand the mechanism: the pull to get outside of the oppressed end of an oppression pattern into the oppressor end, to be &amp;quot;comfortable, &amp;quot; to be &amp;quot;top dog.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;Incidentally, we have time to think and plan now because the power isn&#039;t in our hands yet, but it will come a lot faster than we expect. You can pretty well count on it; you are dreaming of a long, leisurely preparation for perhaps being a block warden in the future American Society, are likely to be handed the command of an army just about the time you feel you should have a little vacation(laughter). Things come fast. Right now we have the time to think about this. We have the tools: to think-and-listen, that powerful tool that we never use enough in America, where each person is listened to without any comment, without any reaction, which takes the lid off the fear of other people&#039;s reactions and lets our minds just flower. We have the &amp;quot;Our Presidency&amp;quot; discussion group. We have the time to begin to work out some of these things. We cannot afford to win struggles and then blow away the gains, as has been done before. When you have power in your hands you&#039;re too busy to figure these things out; you compromise yourself. Now we have the time.3. How can we give open, personalized leadership, and at the same time protect and preserve leaders from repression by the repressive organs of the collapsing American Society?( Congressman Jesse Jackson , Jr. is an instrument being used a victim of repression by Oppressors setting up the stage or allowing the repression to grow while the greedy and insensitive oppressors watch America collapse.)Discussion:&lt;br /&gt;This is a crucial problem right now. I use to intuit it, but I know clearly now from my experiences as a leader in America that to be effective you must personalize issues to some extent. It would be nice if people could hear the issues clearly, distinct from persons. Some people can, and we get there as we get rid of our distresses.However, I&#039;ve had to face the discomfort that a lot of people cannot pay attention to the ideas of &amp;quot; a real leadership org&amp;quot; (such as the New Presidency), unless they can look at the visionary leader/founder and decide that &amp;quot;the leader/visionary is a &amp;quot;good person.&amp;quot;Intensed present Discussion:&lt;br /&gt;(President-Elect Obama, our new American President faces this same situation today. And, know this, the person(s) driving the situation surrounding Blajevich, Illinois Governor and his connections in the crime he is being accused of. American Oppressors and agents of Oppression are more interested in killing the character of President-Elect Obama than putting a real criminal behind bars. Think: Blajevich, Governor of Illinois has been under investigation for several years. The most recent incrimination charged to Blajevich, incidence of the Governor&#039;s phone calls, voger-language used during those calls and the substance of those cars was merely the beginning of a criminal act, not conclusive to the point of locking the Governor Blajevich behind bars...So why was this arrest made, at the time of the arrest, now, less than 60 days from President-Elect Obama sworn in , officially as America&#039;s 44th President? Think: Blajevich, Governor of Illinois is in Obama&#039;s home base? And, lets say Blajevich. Governor of Illinois , is so greedy, that he would illegally sell &amp;quot;the vacant seat&amp;quot; in the Senate(representing Illinois) would fargo the sell of the &amp;quot;vacant senate seat&amp;quot; and grab a bigger fish, such as a conspiracy crime to &amp;quot;Unseat President-elect Barack Obama).It is absolutely necessary for people to personalize issues to some extent to get started. They cannot believe in ideas that are too abstract because their confidence in logic has been taken away from them. If they see someone and believe in that person, it helps them get through all kinds of things. For example, I have to actually act like a Co-Counselor for you to pay much attention ti Co-Counseling, no matter how well I talk about it. ANd, so, it is with President-Elect Barack Obama.Note: Part 2 will continue at a later date:Unsolved Questions of logic, I feel need to be discussed by &amp;quot;Our Presidency&amp;quot; 2009-2012.&lt;br /&gt;Coming Real Soon!!!&amp;quot;What Do You Think is Behind the &amp;quot;Chicago Exploitation?&amp;quot;&amp;quot;I believe it&#039;s Culture,&amp;quot; said Jesse Jackson, Jr.&lt;br /&gt;Discussion will come soon and very soon. Please check your Gude, alone, with the next 2-4 writ editions published also in &amp;quot;Our Presidency&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

            <title>Fast Start for Economic Recovery Program (ERP) (Lessons Learned)</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;The President Obama Economic Recovery Program (ERP) will generate a windfall for those who are part of the early planning and execution during the program start up.&amp;nbsp; It was such for the organizations involved in the NASA and SDIO technology and system programs for those newly created agencies.&amp;nbsp; The ERP will dwarf both NASA and SDIO in that hundreds instead of tens of billion will be spent.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;There are lessons learned in these past programs, that if applied, can greatly benefit The Nation&#039;s citizens.&amp;nbsp; Patterned on the past successes, these things should happen:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;1) President Obama should form a new organization reporting directly to him and staffed by the best individuals from industry and agencies who are stake holders in the technology and systems envisioned for the program.&amp;nbsp; While infighting for programs will occur it will be filtered and controlled by a central and new organization.&amp;nbsp; (For NASA and SDIO all good things occurred in the first five years before the industry and government bureaucracies hardened in programs direction and goals.)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;2) Once set up the Economic Recovery Program Organization (ERPO) will set up meeting after meeting where interested parties will plan and execute programs under the general guidance of the ERPO.&amp;nbsp; Having witnessed this twice,&amp;nbsp; the parties that show up with their planned interest and show a method of fast contractual execution are the ones that walk away with the things that they want to do.&amp;nbsp; Those who prepare and are organized can be in the fast track position as others mill around.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;3) The States should start getting ready for this happening and should:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;A)&amp;nbsp; Senators and Representative push for central ERPO.&lt;br /&gt;B)&amp;nbsp; Form State organizations to plan priority programs.&lt;br /&gt;C)&amp;nbsp; Alert State, National and Military contractual organizations.&lt;br /&gt;D)&amp;nbsp; Put Broad Area announcements in place for Technology.&lt;br /&gt;E)&amp;nbsp; Staff, prepare and attend every ERPO meeting in Washington.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;    &lt;p&gt;4) Examples of needed spending for Education, Infrastructure and Health are listed&amp;nbsp; below:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Education:	&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Digital Text Books&lt;br /&gt;Student Computers&lt;br /&gt;Student Family Internet&lt;br /&gt;Online Degree Expansion&lt;br /&gt;Athlete Safety Expansion&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;    &lt;p&gt;Infrastructure:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;High Speed Rail&lt;br /&gt;Beach Access Highways&lt;br /&gt;Off Shore Wind Farms&lt;br /&gt;Pine Tree Ethanol&lt;br /&gt;Fission Research&lt;br /&gt;Hydrogen Distribution&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Citizen WiFi Internet&lt;br /&gt;Deep Space Protection&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;        &lt;p&gt;Health Care:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;National Database&lt;br /&gt;At Home Diagnosis&lt;br /&gt;Database Research&lt;br /&gt;Major Disease Eradication&lt;br /&gt;Health Exercise Facilities&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;     &lt;p&gt;Of course there are others and once a call for information starts, there will be more.&amp;nbsp; These things have kicked off with an initial push in technology development in that it is usually easy to put many lower cost programs under contract with existing vehicles.&amp;nbsp; As the large organizations get things together the money then flows to them as they are able to execute by growing into the program.&amp;nbsp; Being there first with both a plan and fast start money distribution pays great dividends. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;If interested I can meet anytime and anywhere to discuss this approach for enhancing an aggressive participation in the President Obama Economic Recovery&amp;nbsp; Program.&amp;nbsp; I believe that the above insight discussed in depth should be helpful&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>&quot;Obama: President-Elect Obama Plans Great Strategy for Crises In America Wide-World</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;David Broder wrote: Washington Post. November 27, 2008. Posting: Good Time For A Brainy President&lt;br /&gt;excerpts:So for several years, I have been arguing that there are traits much more important to the success of a president than brainpower. Self-confidence, curiosity, an eye for talent, the ability to communicate, a temperament that invites collaboration -- all these and more rank higher on the list of desirable presidential traits. I am not ready to abandon that view. But I am struck by how lucky this country is, at the moment, that the president-elect is a super-smart person like Barack Obama. With each passing day, it becomes more evident that even the smartest and most experienced managers of the American economy are struggling to understand -- and fix -- what has gone wrong in our markets.&lt;br /&gt;But for a nation in crisis, it is worth giving thanks for the performance the next president has turned in so far -- and for the mind that is working on the nation&#039;s behalf. davidbroder@washpost. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;November 27,2008 and November 28, 2008, inspired by David Broder. Gloria Keith, aka,&lt;br /&gt;gloriahnt wrote: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;David, Only the haters have and will continue to oppose your positive commentary about President-Elect Obama. Although it was not written my way, you hit the nail on the head. Be proud, David, a job well done.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Obama is moving according to his inner-spirit, his inner-strengths not according to his own impulse and his acquired wisdom(skills as a lawyer), but Obama moves according to his &amp;quot;spiritual and natural&amp;quot; creativity. Obama has gained great knowledge over his life, but, he is able to apply it to his innate abilities of positiveness and as a humanitarian, in the utmost. When Obama places himself in this attitude, and realizes that he is working out a &amp;quot;divine&amp;quot; plan through him, Obama is in possession of &amp;quot;Divine&amp;quot; power, which knows nothing of defeat. All the power of counter agencies or opposition is of no more account than the chaff of the threshing floor---(EGWhite manuscript 115, 1899--paraphrased to present situation)&lt;br /&gt;David, your positive message is additional to millions of others across America and the wide-world who knows as well as feels Obama&#039;s plans and strategies are real and necessary in such a time of tremendous pressures and crisis affecting humanity--especially our children.. President-Elect Obama will continue to &amp;quot;prosecute his plans with tact and ability. And, we must continue to encourage all America to take part, even speaking a kind word of Obama work or work plans, we are partakers to heal America and the wide-world of humanity. Just watch and see if the breath of life will not quickly return to America. (paraphrased. EGW letter 54, 1898.)&lt;br /&gt;11/28/2008 11:39:01 AM &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thursday, November 27, 2008&lt;br /&gt;Obama:Every Child Born Gifted &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For many years, I was embarrassed, when my teachers, colleagues, or others in my company would say, &amp;quot;Oh, you are the smart one. Or, you are an intelligent Black. Or, African America. Where were you born? Other statements like the one you made, David. &amp;quot;...struck by how lucky this country is, at the moment, that the president-elect is a super-smart person like Barack Obama.&amp;quot; There is no other Barack Obama. Yet, Every child born in this earth is born &amp;quot;Gifted and Talented&amp;quot; President-Elect Obama is fulfilling his purpose as others are also fulfilling theirs. Including you, David. I have spent many years, living life, experimenting life, as well as educating lives on the very foundation that &amp;quot;Every Child Is Born Gifted&amp;quot;. Many of earth&#039;s human treasures would fulfill their purpose in this earth, provided the guidance to true education is introduced and then, presented to them, allowing them the space to err and not &amp;quot;kill&amp;quot; them for their mistakes, not be killed, mentally, physically, or spiritually. To each individual human being is given a 1. Spiritual Body, and 2, A Natural Body. During the production and developmental stages, the child must receive appropriate nurturing provided by the teacher, parent, trainer, in the appropriate times and spaces.&lt;br /&gt;President-Elect Obama is our President 2009-2012. All other 43 Presidents served their time periods, also. Did they provide the intelligence, direct their intelligence to the best of their abilities? The Presidents, themselves can give the best answer to that question. Many are called. Few are chosen. Not all leaders, called, become the leader, chosen.&lt;br /&gt;David, I would choose the better words, because I have not the fear you accepted as part of your childhood. America is better for electing Obama as our USA President 2009-2012 And, by so many Americans believing the same, as you, and me, President Obama is clear-minded enough to challenge the work that is set before him. The greatest barriers, President-elect Obama has overcome. The path is clearer for many more &amp;quot;super-smart persons&amp;quot; will travel higher heights and deeper depths in leadership in America and the wide-world. David S. Broder, you have written a great article. You have opened a door for so long was closed for me and I am certain, others wanted open to move toward their greater purpose. I thank you, sincerely. actionspeaks--gloriahnt@yahoo.com Posted by Action Speaks at 6:02 PM 0 comments &lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Sarah Palin  Side Show Is Time Consuming while Republicans work on a &quot;MasterParty&quot;</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;The Sarah Palin Story after the election of Barack Obama, now President-Elect 2008 is a side show for members of the repulican party and 888 Hate Groups in America 2008 to plan their right strategy to build a &amp;quot;Master Party&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The more time the news media spends on Sarah Palin will seduce more TV watchers, more voters, more Americans to think Republicans or better known &amp;quot;American Patriots&amp;quot;, also a category of the active 888 Hate Groups researched and named by Morris Dees, Atty /Director of Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, AL (Headquarters) Check this out online. Run cross-references with the following names: Sarah Palin, Arthur Jensen, Rush Lambaugh, Sean Hannity, FOXTV, John McCain(question of his limited involvement), William Shockley, &amp;quot;American Patriots&amp;quot; Haters and Hate Group...I am certain you will find others... Don&#039;t under estimate Sarah Palin...It&#039;s truly sad for children of Special Needs.&amp;nbsp; What will you do with this information? I believe if you send your own findings to MSNBCTV, they will do an investigation on this cross=reference info involving Sarah Palin and the Dr. Arthur Jensen connected with the George Bush Family, was granted over 5 million dollars in 1982, more befire, and still more, after 1982...The thing is, I had pushed this name, Arthur Jensen in the back of my mind, His research and study caused my 3 special needs bona-fide Gifted children in the top 3% of the Nation--a true Education. But, being intelligent and utilizing my intelligence, I insightfully, with vision, produced, developed and implemented my own True Education Program on the foundation of Heritage: &amp;quot;Every Child Born Gifted&amp;quot;. So Arthur Jensen&#039;s effect on the American people in Panama City, Bay, Florida, inspired and encouraged me to move and act positively on my vision. My 3 gifted and talented children, born black, not Dumb, had 4-15 scholarships for college and chose the one they wanted to go to to build, continually, their careers and lives. Arthur Jensen is no joke. Arthur Jensen has a great following. Arthur Jensen leads Sarah Palin, financialy and otherwise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Again, what will you do with this information and the confirmation of info from your own thinking and findings? actionspeaks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:gloriahnt@yahoo.com&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;gloriahnt@yahoo.com&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>The Seduction of Sarah Palin with Arthur Jensen...</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;This information is being sent to: Mybarackobama.com/group fighting against the hate of FoxTV&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id=&quot;titlerow_t3_760su&quot; class=&quot;title&quot;&gt;Sarah Palin, Arthur Jensen, Rush Limbaugh, John McCain, Sean Hannity, William Shockley, and the Hate Group Connection In America against Obama-President of USA 2009-2012 have not stopped their &amp;quot;hate Attacks&amp;quot; against Obama. Sarah Palin is continuing in the news media without any news is a set-up for the republicans or members of the republican party to work in secretive meetings to build a &amp;quot;master party&amp;quot;. Read below and do some online cross-references as I did just taking a further look at the hate group that attacked me in merely a residents tenants asociation--Panama City Florida. I found that President-Elect Obama and I have something in common &amp;quot;American Patriots&amp;quot; Hate Group actively operating in American 2008. American Patriots is only one Hate Group of 888 Hate Groups identified by Morris Dees and the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;title&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=Y2U5YTJiMzhjNDNhZTcwZGYyZjcyMzQyZWNmNjJjN2E=&quot;&gt;Barack Obama will destroy science funding in America because he is afraid that true science will reveal the white race to be superior to the black race. Ladies and gentlemen, the National Review&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href=&quot;http://my.barackobama.com/domain/article.nationalreview.com&quot;&gt;article.nationalreview.com&lt;/a&gt;)&amp;quot; AND, there is much more--cross-reference the above names and others you have heard preaching hate and racism so freely in America, 2008.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Home Articles &amp;gt; NWO New Age Commentary Blog rss Contact Biblio The Seduction of Sarah Palin: Eugenics, CNP, and the Pioneer Fund - by Paul &amp;amp; Phillip D. Collins, October 13th, 2008 Left to right: Wickliffe Preston Draper (1891-1972), founder and benefactor of the Pioneer Fund; on the Board of Directors (1937-72). Harry Hamilton Laughlin (1880-1943), Pres. (1927-28) and Dir. (1923-39) of the American Eugenics Society; Superintendent of the Eugenics Record Office in (1910-21) and its Director (1921-40); first president of the Pioneer Fund (1937-41). Frederick Henry Osborn (1890-1981), second president of the Pioneer Fund (1941&amp;ndash;1958); Pres. (1946-52) and Dir. (1969-72) of the American Eugenics Society. No one on America&#039;s political stage today has more motivation to oppose eugenics than Sarah Palin. The Alaskan Governor and Vice-Presidential running mate has learned experientially about the sanctity of life. In April, she gave birth to a baby boy with Down syndrome (Demer, no pagination). When she first learned that the child would be born with the birth defect, Palin chose life in a situation where 90 percent of women have an abortion (no pagination). Lisa Demer has correctly described Palin &amp;quot;as anti-abortion as a politician can be&amp;quot; (no pagination). It was, therefore, disturbing to learn that Palin had been vetted by a secretive group with connections to the eugenics movement. In a September 1, 2008 article for The Nation, Max Blumenthal reported that the &amp;quot;members of the Council for National Policy are the hidden hand behind McCain&#039;s Palin pick&amp;quot; (no pagination). According to Blumenthal, the Council for National Policy (CNP) met at a hotel in downtown Minneapolis the week of the Democratic National Convention to acquaint themselves with Palin (no pagination). The article also stated that the Palin selection secured McCain the support of the conservative movement and that CNP participant James Dobson &amp;quot;may soon emerge from his bunker in Colorado Springs to endorse McCain, providing the Republican nominee with the backing of the Christian right&#039;s single most influential figure&amp;quot; (no pagination). For many people on the left, it is hard to swallow the idea that the CNP has ties to the eugenics movement. After all, CNP participants such as James Dobson, Tim LaHaye, and Alan Keyes are considered to be stalwart pro-lifers. George W. Bush even put in an appearance at a secret meeting of the CNP in 2000 promising to nominate only pro-life judges (no pagination). There is a body of evidence, however, that suggests that all the pro-life rhetoric and pro-life participants may be mere window dressing to hide the sinister goal of creating a master race. Helms and the Pioneer Fund The CNP connects to the eugenics movement through deceased Senator Jesse Helms. Helms was on the CNP Board of Governors in 1982 and was a member in 1984-1985, 1988, 1996, 1998, and 1999 (&amp;quot;The Council for National Policy: Selected Member Biographies,&amp;quot; no pagination). Throughout his political career, Helms collaborated closely with two other CNP participants: Thomas Ellis and R.E. Carter-Wrenn (no pagination). In the 1980s, the three CNP participants teamed with Harry Weyher and Marion Parrott to form an elaborate, multimillion dollar network of corporations, political action committees, ad hoc groups, and foundations (&amp;quot;Race Science and the Pioneer Fund,&amp;quot; no pagination). According to the Institute for the Study of Academic Racism, the network&#039;s leadership &amp;quot;especially, Harry Weyher, Thomas F. Ellis and Marion A. Parrott are part of an interlocking set of directorates and associates linking the Pioneer Fund to Jesse Helm&#039;s high-tech political machine&amp;quot; (no pagination). In the 1980s, Ellis&#039; Coalition for Freedom, a component of the Jesse Helms political machine, received grants totaling $195,000 from the Pioneer Fund (Begos, no pagination). What exactly is the Pioneer Fund? The story of this mysterious private trust fund begins with a reclusive philanthropist named Wickliffe Draper. Draper was born in Massachusetts in 1891 (no pagination). The product of a mixture of old Kentucky and Puritan blood, Draper was convinced that his family tree constituted a superior stock of humanity that should be considered the true Americans (no pagination). In the 1920s, Draper inherited a multimillion-dollar textile fortune (no pagination). After attending the Nazis&#039; International Congress for the Scientific Investigation of Population Problems in 1935 Berlin, Draper decided to devote a large portion of his fortune to eugenics and race science (no pagination).It would be no exaggeration to say that Draper was drawing his inspiration from mass murderers. Wilhelm Frick, a war criminal convicted during the Nuremberg trials, was the Honorary Chairman at the 1935 meeting that Draper attended in Berlin (no pagination). In 1937, Draper joined with eugenicists Harry Laughlin and Frederick Osborn to form the Pioneer Fund (no pagination). The Fund helped the crusade for nationwide eugenical regimentation through the distribution of grants (no pagination). In its first year, the Pioneer Fund had in its budget two German films promoting the theme of eugenics. One of those films, entitled The Hereditary Defective, was shown at 28 high schools throughout the United States thanks to the efforts of Harry Laughlin (no pagination). Draper&#039;s money was also used to print a special edition of Earnest Sevier Cox&#039;s &amp;quot;White America&amp;quot; (no pagination). The racist tract was distributed to every member of the 1937 Congress (no pagination). For Draper, &amp;quot;race betterment&amp;quot; meant disenfranchisement for blacks. One of the white supremacist academics Draper recruited to his cause was segregationist and Chair of Psychology at Colombia University Henry Garrett. Garrett served as a witness supporting segregation in the 1952 Davis v. County School Board (&amp;quot;Race Science and the Pioneer Fund,&amp;quot; no pagination). Davis v. County School Board became part of a much larger, historic case, Brown v. the Board of Education (no pagination). In 1964, the Missippi Sovereignty Commission used $215,000 given to it by Draper in an attempt to prevent the Civil Rights Act from passing (Begos, no pagination). In 1977, North Iowa professor Dr. Ralph Scott used Pioneer Fund money to finance anti-busing, anti-school integration seminars (Lichtenstein, no pagination). Draper may have even tried to use internal security organs to advance his agenda. According journalist Grace Lichtenstein, Draper supported Representative Francis E. Walter, the chairman of the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), throughout the 1950s and 1960s (no pagination). In 1960 HUAC staff director Richard Arens was forced to leave his Congressional job when it was discovered that he was a paid consultant to Draper (no pagination). Draper may have contributed to the corruption of national security politics and the discrediting and dismantling of America&#039;s internal security apparatus. So it is that Paul Wolfowitz, during his time as Deputy Defense Secretary, could have a &amp;quot;discreet romance&amp;quot; with a woman who was born in Tunisia and raised in Saudi Arabia without anyone asking any serious questions about penetration and compromising of internal security (Leiby, no pagination). Probably the most high profile case involving the Pioneer Fund was the publishing of The Bell Curve in 1994. The controversial best-seller asserted that whites were genetically superior to blacks and that blacks were inclined to have lower IQs (Begos, no pagination). Anglo-American race scientists William Shockley, Hans J. Eysenck, Arthur Jensen, Roger Pearson, Richard Lynn, J. Philippe Rushton, R. Travis Osborne, Linda Gottfredson, Robert A. Gordon, Daniel R. Vining Jr., Michael Levin, and Seymour Itzkopp were all cited in The Bell Curve and were all recipients of Pioneer Fund money (&amp;quot;Race Science and the Pioneer Fund,&amp;quot; no pagination). According to a November 22, 1994 ABC World News Tonight report, the researchers cited The Bell Curve received $3.5 million from the Pioneer Fund (&amp;quot;The Bell Curve and the Pioneer Fund,&amp;quot; no pagination). One would think that with the passing of Draper, Laughlin, and Weyher, the Pioneer Fund would have begun pursuing nobler endeavors. Unfortunately, old habits seem to die hard. In February 2006, current Pioneer Fund head J. Philippe Rushton spoke at an American Renaissance conference held at the Hyatt Dulles Hotel in Herndon, Virginia (Williams, no pagination). American Renaissance is a white supremacist magazine headed up by Jared Taylor that promotes the &amp;quot;clear conception of the United States as a nation ruled by and for whites&amp;quot; (no pagination). Rushton was surrounded by such notable white supremacists as former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke, racist talk show host Hal Turner, Director of the Holocaust denying Institute for Historical Review Mark Weber, former neo-Nazi National Alliance members David Pringle and National Vanguard&#039;s Kevin Strom, and former Klansman and head of white supremacist website Stormfront.org Don Black (no pagination). Rushton used the occasion to speak about IQ tests proving whites&#039; supposed genetic superiority over blacks (no pagination). The Pioneer Fund and the Power Elite While many might consider the Pioneer Fund merely a fringe organization, it is far from being a collection of disenfranchised, racist misfits. Pioneer Fund principal Harry Laughlin was also the superintendent of the Eugenics Record Office (ERO) (Chaitkin 551). The ERO was established on 80 acres of land and in buildings donated by E.H. Harriman&#039;s widow, Mary A. Harriman (550). The Harrimans were the most powerful family in the Democratic party at one time and their dynasty belongs among the ranks of the power elite. Like most elitists, the Harrimans possessed a fascination with eugenics. Averell Harriman was on the Executive Committee of New Yorks&#039; American Museum of Natural History. In 1921, Harriman and the rest of the Museum Executive Committee hosted the Second International Eugenics Congress (551). Averell also contributed $1,000 to the conference and his mother and sister were primary hostesses at the conference (551). The trend was repeated in 1932 when the Third International Eugenics Congress was held at New York&#039;s American Museum of Natural History (552). Once again, the Harrimans financed the conference and Averell&#039;s mother and sister acted as hostesses (552). At the conference, Dr. Ernst Rudin, the man responsible for Nazi Germany&#039;s sterilization program, was recognized with a medal and was elected President of the International Federation of Eugenics Societies (552). There is no small connection between Laughlin, the Harrimans, and the Nazis. When writing the Nazi&#039;s sterilization law entitled &amp;quot;For the Protection of German Blood and German Honor,&amp;quot; Rudin relied heavily on the &amp;quot;Model Sterilization Law&amp;quot; drafted for the ERO by Laughlin (551). Laughlin was attempting to achieve the ERO&#039;s goal of producing &amp;quot;the perfect man&amp;quot; by 1980 through the sterilization of 15 million Americans (551). Among those targeted by Laughlin&#039;s law were &amp;quot;orphans, the homeless, ne&#039;er-do-wells, and tramps&amp;quot; (552). Ironically, Laughlin would later discover that he had epilepsy, a condition his model law identified as a criterion for sterilization (&amp;quot;Harry Laughlin,&amp;quot; no pagination). George H.W. Bush, the consummate oligarch, gave an audience to recipients of the Pioneer Fund. In 1969, then-chairman of the Republican Task Force on Earth Resources and Population Bush invited Professors William Shockley and Arthur Jensen to appear before the committee and share their views concerning race and eugenics (52). According to the Institute for the Study of Academic Racism, Shockley would go on to &amp;quot;receive an estimated $188,710 from the Pioneer Fund between 1971 and 1978&amp;quot; and Jensen, Shockley&#039;s recruit into race science, received more than a million dollars from the Pioneer Fund over three decades (&amp;quot;Race Science and the Pioneer Fund,&amp;quot; no pagination). For Bush, the growth of the black population was obviously a threat, as is evidenced by the views held by Shockley and Jensen. In the same year that the GOP task force supplied him with a congressional platform, Shockley wrote: &amp;quot;Our nobly intended welfare programs may be encouraging dysgenics-retrogressive evolution through disproportionate reproduction of the genetically disadvantage&amp;hellip; We fear that &#039;fatuous beliefs&#039; in the power of welfare money, unaided by eugenic foresight, may contribute to a decline of human quality for all segments of society.&amp;quot; (Tarpley and Chaitkin 200) To counter this tide of so-called &amp;quot;retrogressive evolution,&amp;quot; Shockley proposed a &amp;quot;Bonus Sterilization Plan&amp;quot; (Tarpley and Chaitkin 200). Individuals with genetic defects, chronic diseases, or drug and alcohol addiction would be paid for volunteering to be sterilized (200). Chaitkin and Tarpley elaborate: &amp;quot;If [the government paid] a bonus rate of $1,000 for each point below 100 IQ, $30,000 put in trust for some 70 IQ moron of 20-child potential, it might return $250,000 to taxpayers in reduced cost of mental retardation care,&amp;quot; Shockley said. (200). True to the Draper tradition, Shockley identified African-Americans as the main target of his mass sterilization plan. Tarpley and Chaitkin share Shockley&#039;s racist views: &amp;quot;If those blacks with the least amount of Caucasian genes are in fact the most prolific and the least intelligent, the genetic enslavement will be the destiny of their next generation,&amp;quot; he wrote. Looking at the recent past, Shockley said in 1967: &amp;quot;The lesson to be drawn from Nazi history is the value of free speech, not that eugenics is intolerable.&amp;quot; (200) Why would Bush give Pioneer Fund recipients with radical racist views a platform? Tarpley and Chaitkin provide an accurate explanation: Oligarchy&amp;hellip; subsumes the self-conception of the oligarch as belonging to a special, exalted breed of mankind, one that is superior to the common rule of mankind as a matter of hereditary, genetic superiority. This mentality generally goes together with a fascination for eugenics, race science and just plain racism as a means of building a case that one&#039;s own family tree and racial stock are indeed superior. (9-10) Conclusion The majority of conservatives have been duped and Palin is no exception to that rule. If Palin does not want to become involved with the kind of dirty politics and radical agenda that have made most Americans jaded and cynical, she must recognize the CNP for what it really is. Under the CNP&#039;s mask lies an elite combine that is mobilizing unwitting conservatives and grassroots activists behind an elite agenda. Part of that agenda is eugenics.

            <title>Online: Gathering of &quot;Haters&quot; and &quot;Hate Groups&quot; against our new president-elect needs to end</title>
            <description>sarajenlimbaugh November 10, 2008 OPCreator: I have , some,( what I believe), information that may need to be further investigated. Here it is: Last year, I was chronically attacked by racist tenants that live in my building, Bay County, Florida landmark: St. Andrews Towers located in the downtown area since 1972. It was the first high raised building in Panama City, Bay, Florida. There are 216 families residing here. Most are white American senior citizens. I applied for a decent place to live that was feasible rent, etc. I finally was accepted because of my permanent disability, after 2 years of persistence. 2006, after many of the residents found that I have many gifts to offer here, I was nominated as President of the Tenant&#039;s Association...Then I began getting attack/harassing phone calls from a group named &amp;quot;American Patriots&amp;quot; and so did my advocates and staff members. This position is without pay, at least, not for me. The attacks got stronger and finally the management/haters decided they were going to totally ignore me and have another president campaign w/o my involvement and they did and elected the previous white male...there&#039;s more. But I want to get to the point. Since those harassing and attack calls, I have signals that go off when there&#039;s a candidate of difference involved and could possibly win and change things... I have done some personal, yet, what I believe to be crucial to this President-election 2008. First I want to share with you what I have cross referenced online as well as who I have cross/referenced because of their hateful demeanor&#039;s during the campaign and also after the presidential campaign 2008. I did the research of people involved in the campaign from the opponent&#039;s side/advocacy. It was, for me, a process of elimination and shutting down paranoia if that was the real deal. But, I found that my thinking was correct. The following persons are connected in the worse way. 1. Sarah Palin + Arthur Jensen(Jensen was given funds, continually, to prove Blacks are inferior to whites 1982, etc. + John McCain + Sean Hannity FOX TV + Carl Rove + William Shockley + George W. and HW Bush. The cross reference showed that each of these persons have &amp;quot;the hate group &amp;quot;American Patriots (Morris Dees, atty for Southern Poverty in Montgomery sends me Intelligent Reports on 888 Hate Groups operating actively in America. American Patriot has set-up multiple franchises in America. I am sure you will be able to find these names and make the connection online. Maybe the Obama Team has this information, already. But, another point is I was awake last week, prior to the election, a few days, before, at approx. 3 am or maybe later, I don&#039;t have the original info , here with me. And , I am falling behind on a deadline. But, I needed to talk to someone about this in a safe place. I thought of you. I also heard Hannity change the video of Obama&#039;s economy platform and tried hard to ram the lie down the throats of several older and wise interviewees. Hannity is still preaching hate and lies against President-Elect Obama. But, it goes further than talk, I believe the ideal to keep Palin in the news limelight when there is no real news is part of the hate group&#039;s strategy. And Arthur Jensen is a major player. So is Palin. So is Hannity . So is Carl Rove. And so is limbaugh. and yet others. Gloria Keith gloriahnt@yahoo.com</description>

            <title>Sarah Palin&#039;s Game Has Not Changed  Sarah Palin  Stealing the Prime Time from President - Elect Barack Obama</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Do Any of You Remember Any Humanitarian Actions During the Campaign? Has Sarah Palin publicly apologize to Barack Obama or showed any humanity toward President elect Obama? Sarah Palin stayed on the rope to defamation of Obama&#039;s character. Sarah Palin is about Sarah Palin. You may believe me or you may not. Watch.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sarah Palin is still using the media and yet plays on the gullibility of the American People to gain her desired Career Position, November 2008. &lt;br /&gt;Sarah linked all these stories herself. The Republican Party is working with her. During the Campaign of Presidential Nominees, Sarah Palin managed to steal the attention from Barack Obama and John McCain. Now, after the Presidential Election, Sarah Palin is continuing to steal the attention from President Elect, Barack Obama. And John McCain is pushed further into the background of the Republican Party, while Sarah Palin wins her victory by default.&amp;nbsp; The rumours surrounding Sarah Palin is a planned strategy uncaring of the American people and President-Elect Barack Obama.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sarah Palin&#039;s knowledge is steadily increasing and more rapidly that if she sits back and gets lost from the public arena. Each day Sarah Palin population increases.&amp;nbsp;All the republican and the over 800 hate groups , looking to 1. Divide America, again. 2. Kill the confidence America now have in a President, that overcame Racism and opened the door for America to began its plight to eliminate Racism and other form of active oppression in America. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Remember Sarah Palin showed no concern, no consideration, and definitely no love for Barack Obama nor anyone that seemingly, stood in the way of Sarah Palin and others like her. Check out Sarah Palin&#039;s association with American Patriot groups. Then, to, Fox TV has no reason to degrade Ms. Palin. Why did Fox News public the gossip about Sarah Palin. Fox TV is on the side of Sarah Palin as well as part of the Hate Attacks against President- Elect Barack Obama. Carl Rove recently made a 180 flip on his message about Barack Obama.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Keep your friends close. But keep your enemies closer.&amp;quot; Sarah Palin and the &amp;quot;Hate Groups&amp;quot; which may include the Republican Party or many of the republicans have not changed their thinking about African Americans/Others not in consistency with their American distorted views.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Recommendation: All media and other Americans that def ind their foundation in True Humanity change your program.,&amp;nbsp; Let the only news about Sarah Palin be her position in Alaska as well as re-directing Sarah Palin to deal with a real issue before Sarah Palin:&amp;nbsp; Learning how to truly educate her special needs&amp;quot; child, which is a powerful task for a parent. I know. I am a parent-educator of 3 special needs children for&amp;nbsp; approximately 40 years . I also include others like my own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;I do not see Sarah Palin dealing with her real issues as a Concerned Parent.... America, let&#039;s help Sarah Palin become the parent-educator her child really needs. First, Sarah must change her foundation to Heritage and not History. To Love not hate.&amp;nbsp; To Humanity not distress. And, so on.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Action Speaks&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:gloriahnt@yahoo.com&quot;&gt;gloriahnt@yahoo.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gloria Keith&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Obama Made Change Happen. Obama Overcame The Final and Major Barrier:American Racism&lt;br /&gt;Posted by Gloria Keith on November 4, 2008 at 11:11pm&lt;br /&gt;November 04&lt;br /&gt;Obama Did It Made change Happen Overcame the Final Barrier To Positive Change In America :Racism-A Major Form of Oppression&lt;br /&gt;Obama= Visionary, Humanitarian, President of the United States of America&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are other forms of Oppression actively operating in America, 1) Adultism 2) Sexism 3) Age-ism 4) Class-ism 5) Polythe-ism, etc.&lt;br /&gt;Each of these forms of Oppression operate in America, now and then. In spite of what some Americans believe, Obama is a God-chosen Visionary. Obama, like each American, children of the wide-world, all humanity, is created in the image of God and possess the characteristics, the values, the qualifications, of a Gifted Child. Why doesn&#039;t each of us, Americans, children of the wide-world act upon these God-given attributes? The problem is found within our developmental stages of life. It matters what is done by the person(s) in charge of the child during the the developement.&lt;br /&gt;Every child developes a strengthened gift of God. For Barack Obama, his strengthened gift is humanity. Obama carries the title:Humanitarian. Obama&#039;s love of people is extensive. Of all the things that we experience with people, people are good. Obama uses his God given intelligence, which we all are born with, Obama acts upon his ability to come up with fresh, new answers. This is rational human intelligence. Obama is very strong humanitarian who, when Obama&#039;s intelligence gets interrupted by situations of stress, of painful emotion, or of pain, Obama overcome it. Any kind of physical hurt or emotional hurt interrupts Obama&#039;s plan&lt;br /&gt;of action, this to a greater or lesser degree. Under those situations, the information coming in from the environment, which ordinarily is handled very easily and in great volume by Obama&#039;s tremendous intelligence, doesn&#039;t get sorted out, doesn&#039;t get understood, doesn&#039;t get compared and contrasted with what Obama knows. Obama listens attentively to his innerstrengths. Obama uses his abilities to take such distress recoding apart. Obama uses his recovery abilities after hurts. Obama knows how to use his recovery mechanism as a healing process to overcome social conditioning from usually,not-understood information from a distressed experience. When Obama, a living demonstration of ability to think, finds himself thrown into repetition of hurts, acts successfully, comfortably and, usually aware in the new situation. This allows additional benefits for the people he is continually concerned about and works with, directly anf indirectly. Obama re-evaluates all the things that have puzzled him about Americans, because President elect Obama knows and is reminded that every American, man, woman, boy and girl is really a good person. And, Obama contantly creates new situations to help all American--all people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;All is fair in love and war...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;During this presidential campaigning over the last 2 years, it is so identified and publicly known that Senator McCain/Palin ran their campaign on the above base, including traditional acts of oppression in every avenue.&lt;br /&gt;Obama/Biden based their presidetial campaigning on God-given humanitarian attributes. Because of the foundation of Obama&#039;s campaigning over the past 2 years, there was never any unconscous doubts that the foundation on truth would fail---instead the Obama Campaign succeeded and benfitted the people--Americans, specifically.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;We the people of United States of America...insure domestic transquility, provide for the common defense and insure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our prosperity...do ordain and establish justice...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get Over It. Adopt these Attitudes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following are certain additional general things to learn, if you&#039;re going to be a united partner or advocate with the Obama, President-elect of the United States of America, if you&#039;re going to be a good friend/listener. I assume that you are at least considering the possibility. There are certain general hurts that Americans have suffered from the past 8+ years, yet that can also be contradicted generally . There&#039;s a certain battery of attitudes that, if you can adopt them, will make you a more effective listeners and friend than if you just sit there and clench your teeth to keep silent. These may be hard to adopt , at first, but if you even try to act as if you held these attitudes, it will help. It will bring you out of some of your own ruts, and it will make you much more attractive and appealing as a listener to the person that you are listening to.&lt;br /&gt;Here&#039;s some of the attitudes that we can extend toward the person that we are listening to that we will generally contradict their distresses? One of them is approval. I now look approvingly at you. Which of us ever felt very hurt while someone was approving of us. It may happen, but it&#039;s not common. Another is delight. I shall be delighted with you. Who was ever hurt while someone was delighted with them? I won&#039;t say that I won&#039;t find an instance some day, but I haven&#039;t found one yet. Take an attitude of respect. Listen as if the person&#039;s words and what they have to say and how they are feeling are worthy of full consideration. Almost all distress carries with it disrespect. Certainly all oppressions, which probably put a majority of our distress upon us, carry disrespect at their core.&lt;br /&gt;America, your own intelligence is quite satisfactory for guidiing your life. You&#039;re not obligated to anyone. No. Not even your own children And, as you do for your children, doing things that need to be done. I would do for America, because I want to. I didn&#039;t have to be obligated. And, I would encourage you to explore by using your knowledge and participate in the new government--led by President&lt;br /&gt;Obama Did It Made change Happen Overcame the Final Barrier: Racism&lt;br /&gt;Obama= Visionary, Humanitarian, President of the United States &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ourpresidency.ning.com/main/sharing/share?id=1732730%253ATopic%253A6580&quot;&gt;Share&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

God has Americans in place to deal with the transformational change which includes healing Americans of ancient phobias that stand in the way of whites and non-white Americans from processing the necessary change America needs to move positively and progressively ahead. Some of the necessary changes must be immediate. But, Americans are over comers. Americans are intelligent human beings. America has love for its people. And Americans love each others.&lt;br /&gt;What is sad, yet forgiving,&lt;br /&gt;McCain/Palin, their intent supporter and other ignorant advocates are engaged in spending millions of dollars:&lt;br /&gt;Calling Barack Obama, the only African American USA Presidential Candidate 2008, a &amp;quot;socialist,&amp;quot; is the old trick card traditional oppressors in America have played to instill harsh phobias upon the minds and humanity of American voters, and McCain/Palin have tried to connect Obama with lies and deceit making Obama&#039;s former pastor. White Americans used these same tactics and more for many many years. Over 50 years: fact.&lt;br /&gt;Remember Paul Roberson? W. E. B. Dubois? Look it up on the Internet, you will find other facts around the words &amp;quot;Black&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Negro&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;socialist&amp;quot;. Old fear tactics used by the traditional oppressors in America to keep good, thinking, sensitive Americans to not see person(s) of color, intelligent human beings in America.&lt;br /&gt;A national and international prominent Research and Study organization, stationed in America, since 1952, found &amp;quot;A person of color in the U. S. A. culture is continually abused by the attitudes of the white Americans around him/her. People of color continually feel this pressure regardless of how much they are used to it or toughened against it. They are continually abused by the unaware white racism around them. That racism could be in a vicious form. Or it could be simply, the white Americans unawareness. It could be that the white American is afraid of the unknown attribute of the person of color. Any distress(anger, hate, emotion, etc) a white American has about a person of color, whether he/she is terrified of the unknown or embarrassed because the white American don&#039;t know what to do, or limited negative thinking, is racism.&lt;br /&gt;Any distress at all the white American has about a non-white person in America, any distress that is called up by the fact that the American is non-white, is racist. It operates as racism, it makes the white American life difficult. The American person of color should not have to put up with his/her being character assassinated or defamed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;The term defamation of character is often used to describe accusations of slander, libel or both. Slander involves verbal derogatory statements, while libel involves written ones. In a court of law, the plaintiff pursuing the lawsuit would charge defamation of character to cover any form of false or damaging allegations,&amp;quot; according to wisegeek research online.&lt;br /&gt;The white Americans tolerance of racism, the white American failure to change the racist attitude is completely and effectively, is racism in its purest form. Racism is spoiling the lives of white and non-white Americans, young and old, as well as the not yet born American every second. Racism is spoiling lives indirectly as well as directly within the same environment as the racist. Just incidentally, it&#039;s also an unjust burden on the non-white person, as well as undue hardship to people of color, nationally and internationally.&lt;br /&gt;What is Racism. Racism is a chronic pattern, not the person. Human beings are born intelligent. Yet, the same person, white or non-white acquires patterns, latent and chronic, during their childhood development stages. Many of those acquired hurts, pain, other distresses are often not rightfully, sufficiently, nor completely discharged, while in the child&#039;s development stages. So those pains, hurts, and other patterns are stored and many times mis-stored in a certain part of the brain. As we grow, so does the patterns depending on how the child lives and what environment the person, non-white/white, spends most of their life.&lt;br /&gt;So, what does the white American do to overcome/eliminate Racism? And, what does a non-white do to overcome/eliminate internalized racism? (chronic patterns). The pattern (racism) is our enemy. White or non-white American.&lt;br /&gt;1) The person can begin the healing process by contradicting the patterns. Don&#039;t go along with the patterns. Don&#039;t give in to this pattern, though you may have acted out this pattern for many years of your life. As long as you accept the fact: Racism is a Pattern. In life, city, county, state, or wherever you choose to be, a white suburb away from persons of color , there are persons of color within reasonable distance. It would be wise that the white American actively practice tolerance. White Americans are expected to have some association, involvement, or pass by a non-white American. The white American may travel the world over and over again, but many won&#039;t avoid running into non-white Americans or international persons of color. No matter how few opportunities you have because, &amp;quot;there aren&#039;t any non-whites living in your neighborhood&amp;quot;. (This is denial spirit).&lt;br /&gt;America will overcome/eliminate Racism, one way or another. Wouldn&#039;t you like to be one of the first to learn how to &amp;quot;Overcome/Eliminate Racism&amp;quot; from your life and the lives of your children and family?&lt;br /&gt;I have a proposal for you. I propose that white Americans actively contradict this chronic racism. I propose that wherever there is a person of color, America actively go to make contact with them. And, as far the African American Presidential Candidate, Barack Obama, others like him, persons of color, go to him, apologize and begin this day of election history, work on establishing a relationship, friendship, acquaintance with them.&lt;br /&gt;Don&#039;t expect this approach to the person of color be accepted, initially. But, you&#039;ve got to start somewhere. This is indeed the right time to make real change happen in America--Healing is begun November 2008. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;</description>

            <title>FOX TV/Radio airs, intentionally, wrongful info about Obama&#039;s Economic Plan to Mislead, decrease and discourage and interfere with Americans&#039; votes for Obama</title>
            <description>Two Contradictory Ideologies&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The effects of the conditioning upon individuals in the middle-classes have gone roughly in two directions:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;continue in the next posting tomorrow. November 3, 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Urgent news brief&lt;br /&gt;I, Gloria keith, Obama Supporter, just witnesses FOX TV changing Obama&#039;s Economic Plan on the airwaves to say &amp;quot;Obama&#039;s plan will sky rocket...&amp;quot; This is a certified copy of my witnessin Fox TV Sean Hanity deface Obama&#039;s Economic Plan November 03, 2008, 12:45 AM. Sean was accompanied by Michael Steele (a Black male) to strengthen Hanity&#039;s lie to the public to decrease the possible votes for Obama to be USA President 2009-2012. Also, Friday, Oct. 31, 2008, I rode the Bay Transportation to the doctor&#039;s office. The driver blasted Hanity&#039;s radio program which discriminated against and promoted hate toward Obama...The same Hanity &lt;br /&gt;employed by FOX TV- Panama City--Hanity/Combs. The changing of Obama&#039;s good faith message to the public is being unduely and wrongfully altered to mislead American Voters about Obama.&lt;br /&gt;I , Gloria Keith, am an American Citizen requesting FCC for immediate investigation of Hanity--FOX radio and TV , on the behalf of all Americans (People of Color), especially, all American Children of Difference being intentionally, false and deceitful infornation, that could negatively affect our lives from October 31, 2008---until Hanity stop their hateful and deceitful efforts to destroy Barack Obama and others like him, Americans seeking greater positive progress in America&#039;s mainstream.&lt;br /&gt;I request investigations, begin immediately.&lt;br /&gt;Gloria Keith&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:gloriahnt@yahoo.com&quot;&gt;gloriahnt@yahoo.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;draft</description>

            <title>Sarah Palin Is Killing American Women Progress</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Sarah Palin Suprise Killing American Women Leadership&lt;br /&gt;by Gloria Keith 11/02/2008, 12:39 PM # Rate this topic Delete Favorites Reply Surprise Sarah PalinDecreased Women Leadership November 02, 2008 Sarah Palin Decreased American Women&#039;s Positive Growth in Leadership In America &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sarah Palin has many, many&lt;br /&gt;Hard Lessons To Learn On-The-Job Being McCain&#039;s attack she-dog. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;SURPRISE! SURPRISE! SURPRISE! Sarah Palin was punked.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Judge not that you be not judged...&amp;quot; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sarah, I can&#039;t believe that you were raised in a Pentecostal Church... &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have been watching Sarah from the beginning of her entrance into national politics. Every public action by you has been oppressive to your opponent and internally oppressive to women, everywhere. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;McCain wanted to have a woman to get Hillary&#039;s Votes w/o changing from Oppressive Leadership in America. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hillary entered national politics with a plan of actions based on women&#039;s heritage changing the American history by taking an honorable stance for American Women in equality Leadership in America, then world-wide. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hillary and others like her are Strong-minded women setting a positive productive precedence for American women with a higher level of self-actualization. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;McCain/Palin runs his campaign on Lies/Deceit/Oppression in its many forms: Racism, sexism, adultism, etc. No positive change, at all, planned to be implemented under McCain/Palin presidency. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sarah Palin, in ignorance and some stupidity, Sarah Palin has accepted being a partner in this same kind of traditional leadership in America. Yet, this old oppressive leadership can not work to America&#039;s Benefit. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sarah Palin will go down in the American History as to have reduced American Women historical self-actualization by allowing traditional oppressors to exploit you. McCain is limiting American women&#039;s role to being self-serving leadership, not Servant related leadership. Servant Related Leadership signifies &amp;quot;the more knowledge, wisdom and understanding of humanity, you acquire by studying to show yourself approved, the more you have to offer to another(your public audience). &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When you accept a public office, you make a statement to share what you have with your public audience as a Servant -Leadership type. McCain has degraded that by choosing Sarah Palin--McCain knew about Sarah Palin&#039;s ignorance. Palin was in a better position to be trained as an attack she-dog. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sarah Palin&#039;s national actions/decisions made to allow McCain and other Oppressors to abuse you by mere exploitation is damaging to you, your family, your state, and the American Women. Sarah, you moved women several steps back. And, to other women, reading this post, Voting McCain/Palin in office for President/VPresident of the USA will mean more of the same, as in overcoming the greatest barrier to freedom for women as well as freedom for other non-white Americans in America. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And, the most noticeable is you are allowing this exploitation without any known thought of what you have submitted yourself to. You wonder why the media, seemingly, is against you. It&#039;s not the media. It&#039;s not Obama. It&#039;s not anyone but you and your oppressor, John McCain. In the state you are in, Sarah, can only destroy you and others in your environment because you are bringing undue hardship upon you, your family, others like you. If you didn&#039;t know what I have just informed you of, then, you know now. And, it&#039;s not too late to bow out of this oppression and your opting out, now, will decrease the emotional and internal damages, now and future.&lt;br /&gt;America is on the verge of making a positive change happen that will benefit all Americans. McCain&#039;s plan of actions is destined to act on the historical foundation in an oppressive system. And, you are being misused. I read that you have some light, now, of some of the plans being implemented, continually, against women, races, children and other groups by McCainites. But, have you learned enough to stop the implementation of a continuing methodology to keep Americans under the thumb of greedy/selfish government.&lt;br /&gt;Sat. Morn. Oct. 4, 2008.&lt;br /&gt;Now, how many days/weeks/months passed by since the News Media broke the story on Barack Obama and Bill Ayers,(Now an Ed. Professor at an American College) lived and met in the same environment? Do the math.&lt;br /&gt;To Palin: Sarah, It looks as though you have taken the ball from McCain, and running with it. You did not stop to ask: &amp;quot;Why McCain is using you as an Attack She-Dog against another human-being? Bill Ayers is old news and Bill has years to have repented of his &amp;quot;sins&amp;quot;. The attack you made against Obama about who he has as a neighbor has been tried before. But, of course, you, Palin, have not reaped havoc from the lies you commit to telling each day and what may be, SPIRITUALLY, in store for you for making a predetermine false judgment against a person you never met , neither has Obama disrespected you as a human-being.&lt;br /&gt;McCain is your dictator . Does this mean that God is no longer your TRUTH/GUIDE in this WIDE WORLD of CONFUSION?&lt;br /&gt;I am also Pentecostal raised. I, too, have special needs (3) children. So you and I have a lot in common. Then , again, I have approximately 40 years producing, developing, raising, and implementing programs for (3) special needs children, directly and thousands of other special needs children and adults.&lt;br /&gt;To Palin: During a past Thursday&#039;s Debate, you used the word, HUMANITARIAN. Do you really take the time to understand what this most important word means? Why did you, Sarah accept McCain&#039;s Charge for VP nominee? &amp;quot;A tree is known by the fruit it bears...&amp;quot; Sarah, I don&#039;t see good fruit yet from your position with McCain... It&#039;s not too late to RE-EVALUATE your decision. Your work as Governor worked in your behalf... Didn&#039;t it? Or did you not feel you had enough work as Governor? Palin claim you would be an advocate in the White House for &amp;quot;Special Needs Children&amp;quot;. Sarah, I haven&#039;t seen anything you do in behalf of Special Needs Children. Are you making use of your time as qualitative for your Special Needs Child? Do you have an IEP for him? Do you know what an IEP is? Have you thought of how important it is to have an IEP for your own Special Needs Child? First, your Special Needs Child needs to know that you, Sarah understands what it means to be a parent...&amp;quot;Being a parent implies becoming an advocate, a preacher, a lawyer, an accountant, a teacher, a nurse, and much more. Parents hold their children&#039;s guardianship, their proxy, their power of attorney, their custody, and their care. They (parents) are our children&#039;s representatives in the adult society and the protectors of their legal and human rights. Parents have the responsibility for their children&#039;s care and development 24 hours a day. 365 days a year for as long as they remain dependent&amp;quot;. (LaCrosse 1982).&lt;br /&gt;You talk a lot about doing.&lt;br /&gt;Are you ready to do? Or, are you ready to learn? Can you stand steadfast in truth and say &amp;quot;I, Sarah Palin, have joined McCain as the VP Nominee for my children, especially, my special needs child&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;Sarah, when you know, then, you will find no need to be McCain&#039;s &#039;attack she-dog&#039; spending most of your time being programmed to speak negativity. I pray that you will soon see your potential calling as a positive motivator.&lt;br /&gt;I have done and have learned, not all things but a lot...ACTION SPEAKS&lt;br /&gt;Palin: Read between the lines. Think twice about who it is you are hurting with your repeating dictated lies. Just a suggestion: Please don&#039;t allow McCain to continue using you as his attack she-dog. Sarah, Use your heart. Not your tongue to sprue out negativity about Obama. If you are set to win this race and believe this is truly your charge--Remember--actionspeaks&lt;br /&gt;Palin was spontaneously and irrationally chosen by McCain to go against Barack Obama w/o question. Sarah Palin is a victim of exploitation. McCain&#039;s Oppressor tactics have, thus for, backfired on him and those other co-oppressors and oppressor-agents.Yet, with careful thought, Palin could, again, because the leader of the Republican party if she fill-in the gaps of her intellectual development of the issues facing the American people. America sees in Palin what McCain didn&#039;t show while facing Obama in the Debate, last Friday, nor does McCain demonstrate in one-to-one interviews:Humanity. Perhaps, McCain has lived so long controlling others that he can&#039;t demonstrate self-control, kindness, etc. to others different than himself. McCain is a dictator and will have immediate problems with Palin when Palin resumes her role as leader. Perhaps, Palin will be herself at this debate on Thursday, October 2, 2008.After the debate, will Palin further steer herself away from :1. dealing with her family crisis? 2. After the debate, will Palin make her special Needs&#039; child a priority by learning how and what to do to teach her special needs child to overcome the physical disabilities, and develop the giftedness God has given to be a special contributor to our human society.Perhaps, Palin will better see the biblical instructions:Study to show yourself approved, not being ashame to train her special needs child in the way he/she should go...&amp;quot; in this wide-world. To Palin:The best positive development of a special needs child is while in infant stages.Palin can seek and gain the knowledge, wisdom and understanding of being the President/Vice President, now and when she has acquired enough knowledge, wisdom and understanding of being a VP or Pres.,her special needs child will know as Palin will know her special needs child&#039;s purpose in this world.Again, winning the debate tomorrow, Thursday, October 1, 2008, is not the confirmation Palin fears:to be VP. It&#039;s simply suggests that McCain&#039;s exploitation of Palin worked in McCain&#039;s behalf. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Palin: Sarah, It looks as though you have taken the ball from McCain, and running with it. You did not stop to ask: &amp;quot;Why McCain is using you as an Attack She-Dog against another human-being? Bill Ayers is old news. The attack you made against Obama about who he has as friend has been tried before. But, of course, you, Palin, have not reaped what Satan has in store for you for making a false judgment. I am also Pentecostal raised. I, too, have special needs (3) children. So you and I have a lot in common. Then , again, I have approximately 40 years producing, developing, raising, and implementing programs for (3) special needs children, directly and thousands of other special needs children and adults.&lt;br /&gt;Palin: You talk a lot about doing. I have done and have learned a lot...ACTION SPEAKS&lt;br /&gt;Palin: Read between the lines. Think twice about who it is you are hurting with your dictated lies. Stop allowing McCain to continue using you as his attack she-dog. Remember defaming Obama&#039;s character means you are slandering other non-political Americans. To do this is &amp;quot;Non-American&amp;quot;. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sarah, Stop Killing American Women Leadership. Make a Real Change, today--Get out while you can. Palin, Stop Taking Women back wards--Stop implementing Hate, Anger, Abusiveness, Oppression must End. With or Without you. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;actionspeaks &lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>A Time For Hard Decision Thinking Change</title>
            <description>Undecided Voters Give Obama Benefit Of Doubt &lt;p class=&quot;description&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;Saturday, November 1, 2008&lt;a name=&quot;5000089415362919863&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://actionspeaksdecided3.blogspot.com/2008/11/decisions-made-thinking-change.html&quot;&gt;Decisions Made Thinking Change&lt;/a&gt; Each American must assume the responsibility to join with the chosen leadership accepting the responsibility to make positive and progressive change happen in America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Such responsibility must include &amp;quot;a grant of power&amp;quot;, for without power it is simply &amp;quot;a mockery and a farce.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Individual Americans, families, organizations, will &amp;quot;put forth her/his best efforts to help himself or herself see to it that neither is deprived of the freedom and power to strive&amp;quot;.(paraphrased W.E.B.Dubois-great educator/historian).&lt;br /&gt;Decisions&lt;br /&gt;This unique change being built up around Obama, (potential) President USA 2009-2012, let each of us be reminded, we are the possessor of a vast intelligence, of complete freedom of choice, of unlimited power. Over the past eight years or more, you have been lied to about this, have been mistreated and discouraged, and invalidated. Some of the discouragement and invalidation has probably become internalized and you have come to &amp;quot;believe&amp;quot; these discouragements limitations.&lt;br /&gt;Voters, make a decision, now, today, by Tuesday, November 4, 2008, you do not need to go on believing these negative attitudes. Start, by voting for Obama, President USA. This is the beginning of our discharging all the pain and anguish, countless number of distresses. Throw off the fears and take control and leadership of your our life, your families, your organizations of positive progressive production as Americans, in America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thinking&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trust your own thinking. It will take thoughtful evaluation of your thinking to distinguish between your thinking and your feelings(chronic patterns that have increased daily over the years in oppressive environments that kept you working and, yet, receiving, little or no benefits. No Health. No Education. No Family Vacations, etc. You will always, from this point of a new USA Presidential leadership, be able to tell the difference if you check.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trust your own thinking. You will make mistakes if you do anything meaningful at all, but if you are acting on your own thinking the results will quickly be noticed by you and you will correct the mistake promptly. If you have accepted someone else&#039;s thinking as your guide, you have already stopped thinking for yourself, and the mistakes will go uncorrected much longer.&lt;br /&gt;Trust your own thinking. Trust your intuitions. Respect your hunches. Trust your &amp;quot;gut feelings.&amp;quot; Trust your thinking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Decisions&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some people say decision is not a defined term. Yet, my mentor explained it in a different way. Decision is defined in the sense that we are using it in these discussions as choosing one possibility where two possibilities are available.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A &amp;quot;fresh, accurate response to each moment of living&amp;quot; does involve a decision because in most situations there are components of the situation that cannot be understood or estimated exactly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Typically we could make thousands of different responses in any given situation which would be accurate enough. To try for the optimum one will involve a decision as to which we think is the optimum one, or perhaps a decision as to how much time we want to spend waiting to come up with a more accurate decision.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To act within our freedom of decision is, I think, a very high level function and probably requires the complexity of our central nervous systems just as much as it does the intelligence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At least, four functions of our central nervous system have been allowed to emerge that are qualitatively different than the functions of other forms of life. One is , intelligence, the ability to construct a new successful response to any given situation. Another is awareness, which is hard to define, but it is something about noticing what is going on while it is going on or thinking about thinking while thinking. Third is complete freedom of decision. And, fourth is complete power, the ability to handle the environment in ways so that it must respond to us in the way we want it to respond. These four functions are all different from each other. I think that making a decision is a different function than being intelligent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If one is thinking easily, these perhaps will not seem to be distinct functions. You will respond intelligently and make your decisions all in one flow and not differentiate between the two functions. However, most of us have struggled with the penetration of much of our functioning by distress. We have been surrounded by intrusions of compulsive chronic patterns of our past into the details of our living, today. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking at the thousands and thousands of American voters going to the designated polling place, we have grasp the necessity of making a decision, which also involved struggling against a past, traditional chronic pattern(s), to do the &amp;quot;right&amp;quot; thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In much struggling, it has been extreme hardship on every American voter, especially, first-time voters(decision makers) to tell the difference between thinking and decision. At times, we believe they are one in the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that we have accepted our awareness of our complete freedom, as Americans, we use it, as a more forceful, less delicate, function than intelligence, more directly against our chronic patterns of our past.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We look forward to 3 more days of voting. For those of you who have yet to cast your vote: Go, quickly. Become a leader. Reach for your full functioning. Join those of us who are already committed and active.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leadership can be enjoyable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;actionspeaks&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:gloriahnt@yahoo.com&quot;&gt;gloriahnt@yahoo.com&lt;/a&gt; Posted by Action Speaks at &lt;a href=&quot;http://actionspeaksdecided3.blogspot.com/2008/11/decisions-made-thinking-change.html&quot; title=&quot;permanent link&quot;&gt;10:02 AM&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3931012918780459315&amp;amp;postID=5000089415362919863&quot;&gt;0 comments&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=3931012918780459315&amp;amp;postID=5000089415362919863&quot; title=&quot;Edit Post&quot;&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;icon-action&quot; src=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;18&quot; height=&quot;18&quot; /&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;8076761000441097336&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://actionspeaksdecided3.blogspot.com/2008/11/america-undecided-voters-give-obama.html&quot;&gt;America Undecided Voters Give Obama the Benefit of Doubt&lt;/a&gt; America Undecided Voters Give Obama The Benefit of Doubt&lt;br /&gt;America Gave 40+ Past Presidents A Chance...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voters, Let&#039;s Give Barack Obama The Benefit of Doubt. Obama Was Born Darker Not Dumber Than all the Other 40+ Presidents of The USA...Each of them was intelligent--born in God&#039;s Image...Review Your History. The American Presidents of America represented the majority of the American Population of America. What is the make-up of America, today, 2008?&lt;br /&gt;Take an honest look at the USA population, today, 2008?&lt;br /&gt;America is more diverse than it used to be. We are more dependent on High Technology for everything. McCain/Palin have refused to overcome their fear (phobia) of New Technology. How then will McCain/Palin handle the new age? McCain/Palin are using old oppressive tactics of Racism to run this Presidential Race. Obama has researched , studied and sought out other like mind Professionals in every level of Need for Americans, including General Colin Powell to advise Obama, continually on the status and actions that America must take to get our American Soldiers out of harm&#039;s way and continue to keep our soldiers updated and prepared to give America , first class protection.&lt;br /&gt;The other night at the special dinner, televised on most TV stations, recently. Watch and listen to John McCain and his introduction of Barack Obama. McCain spoke from humanity, which we all have. Some person&#039;s humanity is more developed than others. The other side of the human is filled with piles of hurt patterns that sometimes overcome our God-given intelligence. McCain, at the dinner showed the human-side, while he shared humour and during his introduction of Barack Obama---McCain shared with us the real McCain. The McCain who feels more comfortable and at the dinner, McCain felt safe. Everything McCain said at the dinner, listen to the tape, contradicted the negative attacks he makes in public among those that he represents--McCain&#039;s Oppressors/Oppressor-agents. The day after the big TV Dinner, McCain authorized, according to the RoboAD Calls, dangerous rheotic. McCain seems to have forgotted what he remembered at the Big Dinner, that his traditional patterns of distress--the pile of hurts that make our intelligence appear vulerable and have accumulated on us. Those patterns of hurts that were put on us by society, the environment of that we grew up in are very much our enemy--not Obama, nor any other human beings. The whole bunch of distresses that come from an oppressive society of ignorance. These oppressions, whether in the form of racism, sexism, classism, adultism, polytheism, etc., are our enemy. The major oppression form operating at this point of the Presidential/VPresidential, Congressional races is Racism. Racism can be overcome. And, Racism Can Be Eliminated. As American voters, we make the first decision by voting Barack Obama President, USA.&lt;br /&gt;But, we, voters must replace our fear with Faith. We must look to Barack Obama as a person, assured, to represent All America. The America that includes peersons of many colors, yet person born as intelligent as you and I are. If not NOW, when?&lt;br /&gt;Voters, Give Barack Obama, the benefit of Doubt--He. Obama, can&#039;t do any wrost than those other 40+ presidents, we faithfully, voted on to lead our Country--America&lt;br /&gt;Isn&#039;t this why we live here, in America? Taking chances. Believing in our God, that things will get better, even when it means: Making Change Happen? Voters, Undecided, Decided Voters:Let&#039;s vote for Change We Need: Barack Obama&lt;br /&gt;Overcoming The Barrier Of Racism...To continue October 13, 2008&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;The chief visible character popularly held to distinquish Blacks from Whites are skin color and hair form, not the size and capacity of the brain. Due to a lack of understanding as well as national interest in the &amp;quot;Black American,&amp;quot; not many issues exist and have existed far too long in our society. In a 1983 research done by &amp;quot;ACTION SPEAKS&amp;quot; a black community newspaper in Panama City, Bay County, Florida combined with the results of a practice survey taken by A-CURE, ACTION SPEAKS decided to &amp;quot;Raise the Issues.&amp;quot; In the survey, there were 200 Survey copies circulated and 76 were returned. The survey requested that members of the community check under the social, economic, and physical factors columns, the most critical issues facing this community.&amp;quot; The greatest needs according to the survey in 1983, were Housing and Employment.Today, Economy is the greatest problem for Panama City, Bay, Florida, and entire America.Barack Obama is the best presidential candidate to deal with the Economic problem in America. Yet, there are questions and hesotations. Why? Mainly, because Barack Obama was born Darker. Not Dumber.America has grown since Action Speaks originated the survey, over 20 years(1983 to 2008). But, have the American Citizens grown enough to elect Barack Obama, African American, as USA President?As in 1983, the base of our American economy situation, is a lack of knowledge, informal and formal, partialy to to a lack of sensitivity in American leadership representation in Washington.Though there are Federal, State, local community-based organizations as well as individual personnel paid by one means or another to assist in positive efforts to overcome our economy situations, the economy continues to deteriorate rather than being resolved.With the deteriorating conditions of our American Economy being prevalent, will America still hold to the theory that &amp;quot;Blacks are inferior to whites&amp;quot;?America is filled with smart people. And many citizens know that Blacks are not inferior to whites. There are some Americans, including Blacks, still believe the above faulty theory.Barack Obama: There is no one better qualified to prove the myth&amp;quot;Blacks are inferior&amp;quot;. The time is now. Americans must stand strong and rational with Obama to prove &amp;quot;Blacks are inferior to whites...&amp;quot; is an outright lie.The only lasting ways of proof: 1. increase knowledge of Americans. 2. Demonstrating our increase of knowledge that Blacks are not inferior to whites by electing Barack Obama -- President of these United States of America 2008.</description>

            <title>Are There Realistic Attacks On Obama Presidential Candidate USA 2008</title>
            <description>Are there Realistic Attacks On Barack Obama To Stop&amp;nbsp;His Election as&amp;nbsp;USA President? &amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;Yes. In a well written book of truth , The Longer View by Harvey Jackins, Re-evaluation Counseling, Harvey shares facts on wide-world Resistance to, and Attacks on, Leaders.(page 195-214). Ihave followed this unique trail of Senator Barack Obama seeking the election of the First African American Man, President of the United States of America.&lt;br /&gt;The book professionally, outlines four specific Attack levels to the Resistance of Electing Barack Obama, President of the United States of America. And, though I have preventatively, written in previous articles/posts as I trail this 2008 Presidential Campaign, I find it necessary to emphasize these 4 levels of attacks on Barack Obama, by traditional America under the banner of McCain/Palin, Republican Campaign team and other distressed individuals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Attack Level One: Barack Obama has been criticized for making mistakes. How this kind of attack should be handled. Admit the mistake, promise to not repeat it, and listen the criticism out. The affect on Voters. If handled in this manner, the affects of making the mistake(s) will be minimum. And, confidence of the team around the leader will be enhanced. The book further emphasizes, leaders who fear to admit a mistake because they fear such an admission will make the team &amp;quot;lose confidence in them&amp;quot; , are deceiving themselves. Their team will always come to know the mistake has been made, and the team will have far more respect for the leader (Presidential Candidate) who admits and corrects the mistake than for a leader/person who denies and conceals it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Attack Level Two: Attacking and Criticizing Obama(Leader) as a &amp;quot;test&amp;quot; to see if the leader can handle attacks from outside and stick to her/his program. The more relaxedly and confidently the leader can hear these attacks without being tense or defensive, the shorter this period will be.&lt;br /&gt;Some of this kind of attacks will arise from the internalized oppression, as in the &amp;quot;trashing&amp;quot; of Black leaders by members of the Black Community&#039;s long-standing Freedom movements. In these cases an explanation of the phenomenon of internalized oppression will prove helpful in ending the practice of attack level 2.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Attack Level Three: These attacks will come from individuals, not necessarily from within the leader&#039;s team, who are locked into chronic patterns of seeking reveng or &#039;hurting somebody back&amp;quot; from the vicious mistreatment endured in their childhoods. These are the &amp;quot;pickers of fights&amp;quot;, the muggers, the assasins, the rapists. The chronic patterns may be drawn to attack you because they will identify the leader having a caring, rational program with the leader being a &amp;quot;timid idealist&amp;quot;, a naive &amp;quot;do-gooder&amp;quot;, an &amp;quot;easy mark&amp;quot;. On the organizational level these patterns seek to disrupt and sometimes &amp;quot;plunder&amp;quot; organizations. From these kind of attacks, the leader needs to organize protection, shed any naive patterns of their own, learn self-defense. Do not assume &amp;quot;permissive&amp;quot; actions will reach the humans lost inside these patterns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Attack Level 4: Level four is in serious play to this date, Thursday, October 30, 2008. This level of attacks must be taken, thoughtfully, rationally, and considerably. Attacks level 4 will be inspired by the repressive agencies of the American Society, by Hate Groups. (Over 888 actively operating in America, 10/30/2008 according to the SPLC, Morris Dees). The attackers may be in disguise, holding jobs and other positions in local offices, by national security agencies, FBIs, the CIAs, the secret police, or whoever they secure to act as their agents. These attacks are a tribute to your having achieved significant influence.&lt;br /&gt;Handling of level four attacks, continually.&lt;br /&gt;The leader needs to anticipate the possibility and prepare the Campaign teamsters to counter-attack without hesitation, unitedly, and with indignation when suck attacks occur. McCain/Palin and their advocates are slandering Barack Obama. The slanders voiced against Senator Obama and Senator Biden, other Democratic candidates 2008, are best undefeated(a waste of positive energies and time), and undenied until after the counter-attacks have defeated the attacks. America saw last night, Wednesday, October 29, 2008, on 7 television channels, reaching out to over 40 million people, Obama&#039;s counter-attack defeat the attacks made on level four. Obama&#039;s team members should have agreed ahead of time to not discuss or argue the assertions but only counter-attack indignantly until the attacks have been defeated. Shout out to Obama&#039;s team:you have shown yourselves, loyal humanitarians, rational thinkers and doers in such distressing times. America appreciates you, Obama&#039;s team. Any mistakes or weaknesses of the leader that are offered as excuses for the attacks can be dealt with if necessary, but only within the team privately and only after the attacks have been defeated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To understand and be prepared to handle all these difficulties is part of being an effective leaders and all leaders produce need this knowledge and preparation. Once prepared, however, these possibilities need not preoccupy the leader&#039;s attention. Doing a good job of leading reduces the frquency of their occurence and knowing what to do when they do occur limits the time and energy that will have to be spent on them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What will be our major Benefit in electing Barack Obama and Senator Joe Biden to lead America?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look for this question/answer in my next post on this website.&lt;br /&gt;Action Speaks&lt;br /&gt;gloriahnt@yahoo.com&lt;br /&gt;Gloria Keith &lt;p id=&quot;tagsList&quot; class=&quot;small&quot;&gt;Tags: &lt;a href=&quot;http://ourpresidency.ning.com/forum/topic/listForTag?tag=attacks&quot;&gt;attacks&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://ourpresidency.ning.com/forum/topic/listForTag?tag=candidate&quot;&gt;candidate&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://ourpresidency.ning.com/forum/topic/listForTag?tag=obama&quot;&gt;obama&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://ourpresidency.ning.com/forum/topic/listForTag?tag=on&quot;&gt;on&lt;/a&gt;, president&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>American Voters Overcome Fears of Voting for a Black Man President of USA 2008</title>
            <description>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;American Voters Overcome the Fear of Voting For An African American President 2008&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although Senator Barack Obama acknowledges he has some success in many states, one week from Election, November 4, 2008, Obama realizes the necessity of having allies like President Clinton and Senator Clinton, willing to campaign in the battleground states. Obama may not have acquired some of these successes without the assistance of the Clintons. Both former President Clinton and Senator Clinton. The Clintons possess prestige and have clout with the voters in the battleground areas. Obama has been blessed to work out action plans with the Clintons as allies to come to Obama&#039;s support. The Obama team know the advantage of the Clintons, in behalf of Senator Obama&#039;s &amp;quot;race to the White House.&amp;quot; Obama sees glimpses of the reality, yet hidden under the fears of registered voters that are confused, one way or another. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hundreds of Endorcements for Senator Barack Obama, President of USA 2008, including General Collin Powell, Oprah Winfrey, many news media outlets, New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Anchorage News Media, and ______________________________________________________________________&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;who are proven dependable allies, gives Obama a different picture of America and the world. If you can see an ally, white, black, or another, really acting like a humanitarian, that is entirely different than the picture you&#039;ve gotten most of the days of your life, up til now. It gives one some hope. And, in this case, Obama be energized, hopeful, Obama can pass more positiveness and hope to the listeners and direect and indirect supporters, now and early future.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What&#039;s better is that Obama is able to see clear enough to recognize the piles of distress patterns demonstrated by the McCain/Palin in their rallies, shouting from the platforms of America, lies and deceitful allegations. Obama realizes that the hate, and other seemingly patterns of distress, are not the humanitarian hearts of the McCain/Palin team, but the oppressive acquired views from their past learnings in oppression. Chronic behavior patterns are acquired during the early delopment stages of any one person. As adults, the bad/oppressive behavior patterns learned as a child, are re-stimulated by environmental actions from those we, adults, surround ourselves with. You may be uplifted to know that patterns are not people. Patterns are recorded messages mistored or stored in our minds.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Obama/Biden team have collectively, set necessary practical goals as to where and how their campaign will end, using all positive good, taking allowable chances of making contact with the American voters, publicly and privately. Programs are continually set-up to reach every possible voter. those active and inactive, complacent and apathetic, young and old in America.Obama is talking about the United States of America and the positive change America needs to positively and progressively move ahead. Together , and in unity, as Americans. Obama shares that no American is too different and too affected by our early childhood taught behavior patterns that we cannot make and be apprt as well as benefit from the positive and necessary change that will be made under a new and unique Obama/Biden leadership of America.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Intermission:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was watching afternoon news on MSNBC--David was introducing the news. As he strolled through his news briefs, he saw a lot of negatives which he voiced &amp;quot;What is causing all these people to go nuts?&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Answer: Obama, a black man running &#039;for real&#039; (seriously), for the USA President and has a very good chance of winning, is &amp;quot;unreal&amp;quot; to traditional America, possibly, the wide-world. This reality has re-stimulated a major portion of America, specifically, southern arena. Re-stimulation of traditional chronic patterns of Oppression in many forms: adultism, sexism, racism, classism, etc. Racism appears to be the major form of oppression, now, because of Obama&#039;s skin color. The anger that has been stirred against the white Americans that are advocates in some positive support of Obama can be properly identified as internalized oppression(racism)(white against white; black against black). Who would have ever thought that good and positive changes would stir up such emotional trauma. Well, David, this kind of emotional relief is positively identifed as &amp;quot;discharge&amp;quot;. Harvey Jackins followed through his vision in looking at the &amp;quot;Human-side of Human-Being&amp;quot;. Harvey implemented his Psychological procedures and documented his findings as he made actual progress throughout his life. Harvey Jackins properly developed and implemented his findings until his death 1999. Harvey&#039;s son, Tim, may be continuing his father&#039;s studies, even today. You can find more information on this most necessary documentation under &amp;quot;Re-evaluation Counseling&amp;quot;. Re-evaluation Counseling appears to be the best psychological evidence of identifying and resolving the latern and chronic behavior patterns that are, suddenly, growing rapidly, and disporportionally, in our American Society surrounding this unique presidential race to the &amp;quot;white house&amp;quot; 2008. The realistic possibility of an African American man elected as President of these United States of America 2008. This is truly a contradition of what your fore-parents and mine lived and breathed in, yesterday. It was, inignorance that statements were made and limits were set on our human intelligence. And, though, there is some upheaval ofanger, fears, and other emotional responses, the changes being made are good and necessary. Believe me, when I tell you, there are resolutions, already documented, tried and in focus to deal with these changes. And, you, David, like many others, are part of the solution that will, intelligently , put every puzzle piece in place.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now back to Part 2 OF&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;American Voters Overcoming Fears to Voting for An African American Man for President of the USA 2008&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;p&gt;Obama/Biden, in spite of such mixed reactions and opposition against them, in America, is to give priority and attention to the Middle-class, to seek them out in America, to give them some priority tax relief that they did not receive in the past. Allies of Obama/Biden, have voiced their sentiments and know that there&#039;s no plan of the Obama/Biden team to disregard other Americans. Middle-class Americans, in a capitalist society have demonstrated their plight in AMerica.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My editorial take on:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Obama&#039;s TV Infomercial Wednesday, October 29, 2008, on 7 television channels, Obama proposes that we are in the greatest critical situation in America since the Great Depression 1929. And, Obama proposes, in these situations, to be an American President, not giving priority nor special attention to black America, though he is an African American. Obama set out to find middle-class Americans, making close friend and ally with all America, Asian American, Latino America, and as President, with America, in unity, we will build a stronger America. Unspoken message, uniting America will clean all our lives of racism in America. This is so we, Americans, don&#039;t hate ourselves in the strong undercurrent of our feelings so much of every day and every night for living in a restricked America and tolerating it, for living in an unfair, unjust, destructive environment and tolerating it. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I gota huge satisfaction from being able to make contact quickly over the barriers of oppression forms in action over the television waves, surrounding this well produced, humanitarian film of Obama re-stating his message to America, without having to dodge spit-balls of fire from a McCain/Palin, Republican team. Where ever Obama held out to produce this infomercial, Obama was safe and made everyone else that watched him, feel the same safety. The barriers of change was making its way to the forefront.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Accomplishing change under these conditions, will be extreemly difficult. If Obama had received public funding, the traditional oppressors would have had control over Obama and he would not had been able to fairly fight back against the negativity McCain/Palin and others, such as the Jessie Helms&#039; advertising groups that were also acting within their anger and childhood chronic patterns. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have been internally motivated to write this historical moment because of my inner-strength, my godly spirit. Somebody had to move first, somebody has to try to model for our African American community. I go ahead and try overcoming these barriers, sharing my experiences with you and you share them with others. And, when it works, my confidence gets higher and higher. It&#039;s very, very satisfying. Building close relationships with Americans in other groups will be thoroughly rewarding in just that way.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Obam made it very clear that what he is proposing as the American President, will be done to make life easier for Americans, than it has been for the past 8 years. Obama&#039;s proposal as the President of the United States of America, will prove he has the people in America in his heart, mind, and thoughts. This kind of thinking will continue as long as Obama remains President of America. (USA). The commitment to carry out his proposal, will be because the past 8 years has left Americans stained and corroded every day that we do nothing to change the present politics. To reassure America&#039;s timidity, in the nature of things you can count as fact that all Americans would like to have an ally in the white House. Obama will be that friend, no matter how much chronic distress behavior thrown out to Obama/Biden for making the positive change we need, happen. Obama shared with the audiences of over 40 million people that we, Americans can trust him and why we, Americans should trust Obama to be the next, 44th President of the United States of America. Obama emphasized his plan of action as President as the right time, Obama&#039;s experiences demonstrated exactly, that if America makes the right moves, voting and electing OBama/Biden, the reponse will be overwhelming. Vote. Barack Obama/Joe Biden, President/VPresident of these United States of America. Not for him. But for each American who want the change we need in America.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>summary of articles and comments on newsvines for b Obama</title>
            <description>Obama is a Natural Born Citizen. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://doublespambox.newsvine.mobi/&quot;&gt;XNihil0Zer0&lt;/a&gt; on Fri Oct 24, 2008 5:17 PM EDT&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;em&gt;News Type: Event&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m surprised I have to write this article at all, but the idea that Obama is not a Natural US citizen keeps popping up in right wing media outlets. This argument relies on 3 points: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Obama&#039;s mother&#039;s age did not automatically confer citizenship. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Obama was not born in the US. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. If Obama was adopted by Lolo Soetoro he lost US citizenship. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The law that is cited to argue point 1 and 2 reads: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;a. Section 301 as Effective on December 24, 1952: When enacted in&lt;br /&gt;1952, section 301 required a U.S. citizen married to an alien to have been&lt;br /&gt;physically present in the United States for ten years, including five&lt;br /&gt;after reaching the age of fourteen, to transmit citizenship to foreign-born&lt;br /&gt;children. The ten-year transmission requirement remained in effect&lt;br /&gt;from 12:01 a.m. EDT December 24, 1952, through midnight November 13,&lt;br /&gt;1986, and still is applicable to persons born during that period. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The problem comes down to the validity of Obama&#039;s parent&#039;s marriage. When he was 18 Barack Obama Sr. Married a woman named Kezia and had 4 children with her. When he left Kenya for the United States he did not obtain a divorce. In the US polygamy is illegal. If you are already married, regardless of where you got married, all subsequent marriages are invalid. This is the case with the marriage of Stanley Ann Dunham and Barack Obama Sr. in February 1961. Obama was born out of wedlock. As a child born out of wedlock a different law applies if he was born outside the United States. The law reads: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;7 FAM 1133.4-3 Birth Out of Wedlock to American Mother&lt;br /&gt;(TL:CON-68; 04-01-1998)&lt;br /&gt;a. Claims Under Section 309(c) INA: A child born abroad out of wedlock&lt;br /&gt;or after December 24, 1952, to a U.S. citizen mother acquires U.S.&lt;br /&gt;citizenship if the mother was physically present continuously for 1&lt;br /&gt;year&lt;br /&gt;the United States or its outlying possessions at any time prior to the&lt;br /&gt;child&#039;s birth. This did not change under any of the amendments to&lt;br /&gt;Section 309 INA. Thus a woman who had spent only a very short time&lt;br /&gt;every year outside the United States would be unable to transmit&lt;br /&gt;citizenship under section 309(c) INA even though she might have&lt;br /&gt;qualified to transmit U.S. citizenship under section 301(g) INA if she&lt;br /&gt;had&lt;br /&gt;been married to the father of the child. The 1966 amendment to section&lt;br /&gt;301 INA allowing members of the U.S. armed forces, employees of the&lt;br /&gt;U.S. Government and certain international organizations, and their&lt;br /&gt;dependents to count certain periods outside the United States as U.S.&lt;br /&gt;physical presence does not apply to section 309(c) INA. For this&lt;br /&gt;reason,&lt;br /&gt;the mother of a child born out of wedlock cannot use time spent abroad&lt;br /&gt;as a military dependent, for example, to satisfy all or part of the&lt;br /&gt;requirement of continuous physical presence in the United States for 1&lt;br /&gt;year. Subsequent legitimation or the establishment of a legal&lt;br /&gt;relationship&lt;br /&gt;between an alien father and a person who acquired U.S. citizenship at&lt;br /&gt;birth under section 309(c) does not alter that person&#039;s citizenship. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is no doubt that Stanley Ann Dunham spent more than one continuous year inside the United States. Her citizenship was automatically transmitted to Obama Upon his birth through Jus Sanguinis. Some would argue that being born abroad prevents you from being a natural born citizen. But there are 2 precedent cases of Presidential candidates being born abroad. John McCain and George Romney. McCain supporters argue that he is a citizen because he was born on a US military base. This is a misconception, He is a citizen because his parents were citizens. Citizenship is not granted by being born on a military base. State Department policy reads: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Despite widespread popular belief, U.S. military installations abroad and U.S. diplomatic or consular facilities are not part of the United States within the meaning of the 14th Amendment. A child born on the premises of such a facility is not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and does not acquire U.S. citizenship by reason of birth.&amp;quot; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A similar situation occurred with Mitt Romney&#039;s dead father. George Romney was born in Mexico in 1907. He did not move to the United States until his family fled from the Mexican revolution in 1910. Yet in 1968 George Romney ran for president. George Romney was eligible to run because he inherited his citizenship through Jus sanguinis. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The third point argues that Obama lost his US citizenship because he was adopted by Lolo Soetoro. Dual citizenship only became recognized in Indonesia in 2006. Before 2006 the Indonesia Nationality act of 1958 applied. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To obtain Indonesian nationality, aliens must fulfill the following conditions: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Have reached the age of 21 or over;&lt;br /&gt;2. Were born in Indonesia or have lived in Indonesia continuously for 5 years, or interruptedly for 10 years;&lt;br /&gt;3. Have a fair command of the Indonesian language and knowledge of Indonesian history, and have never been convicted by a court for a breach of law or for any act against Indonesia;&lt;br /&gt;4. Have the consent of the wife/husband;&lt;br /&gt;5. Are mentally and physically healthy;&lt;br /&gt;6. Pay a fee of not less than Rp 500 and not more than Rp 10,000, which shall be decided by the court, taking into consideration the applicant&#039;s income;&lt;br /&gt;7. Have permanent employment;&lt;br /&gt;8. Have no other nationality or have abandoned his/her nationality which is in conformity with an agreement on dual nationality reached between Indonesia and the foreign country. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Obama did not meet condition 1, 2, 6, 7, or 8 while living in Indonesia. Obama is absolutely a natural born citizen and eligible to seek the presidency. &lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Eliminating Racism In America Begins with Electing Obama USA President</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Racism is a pattern. It seems to me our enemy is not the other person of difference, but always, the pattern. To break it down, our enemy is the pile of hurts to which our intelligence has been vulnerable, that have accumulated on us, all Americans and other humanity. The one that happened to us accidently is our enemy. The distrees pattern that was put on by contagion is our enemy ( the one our parents imposed on us because they&#039;d been treat that way as children, or the one the teacher put on us in school because she&#039;d been treated that way in class). The patterns that have been put on us by the&amp;nbsp; society are very much our enemy. There are a&amp;nbsp; whole bunch of distresses that come from the oppressive society.&amp;nbsp; These oppressions are our enemy. A major form of oppression is racism...Senator Obama andhis&amp;nbsp; race to the White House has simply opened dialog that cannot be resisted, fairly. Tis 2008 Presidential race in America is America&#039;s opportunity to deal, with a barrier to make the necessary&amp;nbsp; change in our human mainstream&amp;nbsp; in America and the wide-world.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Racism exists in most places of the world. In America, racism is a dominant part of the society. Racism is most dominant that much of racism carries on all time, 24/7, without our being consciously aware of it. It&#039;s pounded into us, Americans, so early, and so reinforced over and over again, that we live in a racist fog. This is true of victims andthe oppressor-agents.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Obama is a part of the solution, not the problem . And, those of us that take a stand with Obama as President, we, Americans, become also part of eliminating racism&amp;nbsp; in America and the wide-world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;action speaks&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:gloriahnt@yahoo.com&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;gloriahnt@yahoo.com&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gloria &lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Obama Now Our Present Situation In America 2008</title>
            <description>To: America&amp;rsquo;s Undecided VotersFrom: An American Humanitarian/Voter&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Why Barack Obama Is The Right President in America 2008-2012&lt;/em&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;Our Present Situation in America October 2008 &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;To: America&amp;rsquo;s Undecided Voters From: An American Humanitarian/Voter&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Why Barack Obama Is The Right American President 2008-2012&lt;/em&gt;Our Present Situation in America October 2008&lt;/strong&gt;Colin Powell did nothing wrong by endorsing Barack Obama. Many Republicans as well as Democrats have voiced the same sentiments referrencing election of President 2008-2012. But, just not in public. Powell&amp;rsquo;s intelligence is well developed. What about yours? Any one of us, Americans, logically speaking, agree with General Powell. &lt;em&gt;It&amp;rsquo;s truth. Sarah Palin is not ready to be President by way of VP.&lt;/em&gt;And, let&amp;rsquo;s take a look and listening to Joe Biden&amp;rsquo;s warning. First, Biden thought he was speaking to donors, in a safe environment. But, he wasn&amp;rsquo;t. O. K. Biden&amp;rsquo;s message was the very same message that Liberman, McCain&amp;rsquo;s supporter, gave in 2000, during a campaign. (Check it out on the web).The socialist idea, John McCain, explained to an audience participant explaining how he would tax the rich more than the middle-class.So, do we, Americans, punish Obama for wanting the middle-class to keep more of their money because of the high rise of our economy?Look and Listen America:The survival of America is now crucially dependent on the transformation of our present USA leadership (Presidency, etc.) from irrational to a rational America and worldwide.America and the entire world are dominated by capitalist economic relationship. The entire objective conditions: 1. A young Presidential Candidate(Obama)to replace &amp;quot;a lame duck&amp;quot;, President Bush,2. A complete enough theoretical understanding of the situation,Where we, Americans, have undergone tremendous economic and other problems, for a swift, yet, intelligent transformation are present. Obama has great vision. Obama has utilized his developed intelligence to surround himself with the greatest minds of knowledge, wisdom, and understanding of humanity and other wide-world necessities. The subjective conditions are what have been lacking until now. Obama and the Democratic Party, grouped with some creative minded youth are clear enough and have broad enough policies for the people in America and the wide-world, and/or the high tech communication of such policies widely enough; sufficient numbers of leaders clear enough on theory and policy and committed to America&amp;rsquo;s transformation; a leadership body united, disciplined and firmly enough rooted in the decisive sections of the population; techniques for dealing with the individual difficulties of leaders and of relationships between leaders; and an attitude of confidence and optimism. Obama is a brand new sturdy and accomplished idea/ideologist dealing with the greatest American crisis since 1930.The Republicans, who proclaim themselves determined to achieve decisive changes in America, contain individuals who can and should be included in an effective leadership body when it is created. America must be united. Most of the Republicans party leadership, (Presidential/Congressmen/women), however, and most of the individuals in them are so heavily involved and economically committed to not-correct-enough policies and political rigidities as to constitute a difficulty and an obstruction to the necessary leadership and organization of the struggle for Change We Need. Most of the present Republicans and Americans in the mainstream presuming to theoretical leadership among them are preoccupied with labels, with allegiances to movements and theoreticians of the past or in other than their own state /environments, and argue or polemicize about terms which had clear meaning and definition in other times and places but which are often far from clear in these times and environments with which they should presently be concerned.America&amp;rsquo;s present situation is one of great dangers and great opportunities. There is an upward trend in America, a trend toward complexity, order, freedom, independence, and initiative, all being led by Obama-USA Presidential Candidate.This trend has led to the emergence of life on at least, seemingly. This trend will permit the emergence of intelligence and certain other capacities for their possessors.This intelligence, in the case of Americans, has been vulnerable from the beginning to the beginning to the imposition of distress patterns, which represent devastating regressions to a more primitive level of interacting with the environment.Although natural processes for the elimination of distress patterns have been made available; these processors have been interfered with in various ways by interactions with other distress patterns, cultures, and oppressive America. Thus the essential nature of Americans has largely been obscured for most observers.Distress-pattern-laden Americans, at critical points in their histories, submitted to being organized into oppressive classes, in which Wallstreet America exploited the rest of the American population economically, robbing them, &amp;quot;legally&amp;quot;(by the laws of America) of the value produced by the labor of the Middle-class. The pretext for such exploitation was the organization, which accompanied it, which made possible a better mastery of the environment and allowed greater population growth.McCain/Palin and their Republican Party have judged American middle-class on the basis of the distress patterns action. No undistressed American would submit to being oppressed ( nor would an undistressed American accept or continue in the role of an oppressor). It then became crucial for each oppressive American to install and maintain certain sets of distress patterns within the population in order for America to operate. Such patterns were and are installed by violence, invalidation, misinformation, and punishment. Principal vehicles for such installation of patterns are the adultist mistreatment of children, &amp;quot;educational&amp;quot; systems, military training and combat, and control of the sources of public information.To maintain American economic oppression (classism), the oppressive America have developed and installed the auxiliary oppressions of sexism, racism, adultism, imperialism, and many other oppressions in order to divide the economically oppressed against each other and secure their help in oppressing each other while submitting to the economic exploitation. These auxiliary oppressions also continue only on the mechanism of distress-pattern installation.Each such oppressive American group contained certain internal contradiction, which eventually led to its collapse and violent replacement by another American group. Republicans are in the final stages of collapse and much violence and loss of life has been involved in their attempts to prevent replacement by a classless non- oppressive form of Democracy. The tendency of s collapsing Republican group to resort to &amp;quot;war and mass destruction&amp;quot; of people is at present nowhere evident.The present collapsing American Republican Party has practiced, in the past, using the weapons of evil/anger. If, members of this group, known as hate groups, if decided to use, will move to destroy, any American, that they may believe to get in their way. There are 888 hate groups active in America as of 2007. Some of these hate groups&amp;rsquo; personnel have shown up on political websites and may be the scum of initiating the &amp;quot;Todd&amp;quot; case, recently to cause fear and doubt of American voters. But due to present knowledge and high technology moving quickly, continuing oppression may have been prevented. Not all persons of the Republican Party seek to use oppressive tactics of old to block positive change we need.Knowledge of the existence, nature, and remedy for American distress patterns is now 56 years old. During the 56 years, America&amp;rsquo;s preoccupations have moved from &amp;quot;feeling better&amp;quot; to thinking better, to counseling Americans better, to individual elimination of oppression, to taking charge of everything, to reclaiming our full power as Americans, to seeing that everything goes right. The rate of American progress for American leadership is obviously accelerating. Look at the many endorsements that now surround Obama/Biden, Democratic Party.We, America, 2008, have tremendous opportunities and can assume great responsibilities in our America present economic and other situations, we, America, finds itself in today, October, 2008.</description>

            <title>Palin&#039;s Campaign Efforts Are Seen as a Candidate for Ms. America</title>
            <description>To Palin: Have you been listening, Governor, to yourself in the public arena? American Women want leadership in the Highest office. But American women want and deserves to have woman leadership that appropriately uses their God-given intelligence. We don&#039;t need a &amp;quot;Ms. America&amp;quot; pagent winner. The $150k expenditures demonstrates Palin doesn&#039;t demonstrate &amp;quot;Country First&amp;quot;. How dare Palin exploits her children like the Republicans are exploiting her(Palin.) But, then, that&#039;s the point, Palin is not using her God-Given intelligence. Palin is submitting to her chronic distress patterns re-stimulated by the Republican dictation...&lt;br /&gt;INTELLIGENCE is defined &amp;quot;as the ability to come up with a brand-new, accurate response for each new situation, to never use an old response for a new situation because a new situation is new, and if you try to use something that worked fine for a previous situation, it is not going to quite fit the new situation, that never occurred before. There aren&#039;t any identical entities in the universe.&amp;quot; I quote my lifelong professor of humanity.&lt;br /&gt;To Palin: Evidently, you are just starting to read past information that may have been a good idea, dealing with McCain&#039;s situation of yesterday. But, McCain&#039;s old remedies don&#039;t fit the new environmental nor economical differences, today.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; There are many ways of approaching this Presidential race, using developed intelligence. It depends on trusting&amp;nbsp; your own thinking. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; You will make mistakes if you do anything, meaningful at all, but if you are acting on your own thinking, the results will quickly be noticed by you and you will correct the mistakes promptly. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; If you have accepted McCain or someone else&#039;s thinking as your guide, you have already stopped thinking for yourself, and mistakes will go uncorrected much longer, as your mistakes have gone uncorrected in the simple issue of knowing what your job will be as Vice President. July 2008--Palin said to America, someone needs to tell her what a Vice President&#039;s job is. In the VP debate, some weeks ago, Palin demonstrated that she did not know what the VP&#039;s job is.&amp;nbsp; October 21, 2008, in an interview, where American children expressed their interest in knowing what the Vice President&#039;s job is, Palin still did not know what her job would be if she became the VP of America. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Palin proved that she has stopped thinking and is using someone else&#039;s thinking on the issues and persons that matters most---Our Children in America and the wide-world.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; $150k is only a fraction of the financial pay-off for Palin&#039;s submittion to other people&#039;s thinking. The greater danger is the other people are thinking is stuck in negativity and clouded judgement of America&#039;s goods.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:actionspeaks85@hotmail.com&quot;&gt;actionspeaks85@hotmail.com&lt;/a&gt;</description>

            <title>Powell&#039;s Endorcement of Obama Is A Step To End Racism</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Powell&#039;s support of Obama is a step forward to End Racism. Obama has overcome every obstacle put in front of him. I use the system of 4 kinds of attacks on a leader. Obama has traveled through every kind of attacks to block him in this Presidential Campaign. (I list them in other articles past).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; For easy acess, I will repeat the 4th Attack Kind, being used like clockwork against Obama.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;The fourth kind of attack on Obama was inspired by the repressive agencies of the society, by the Ku Klu Klan members holding local offices, by the national security agencies, the FBIs, the CIAs, the secret police, or whoever they (Republicans) and/or (Oppressors/Oppressor-Agents) secure to act as their agents. These attacks are a tribute to Obama having to achieved significant influence.&amp;quot; These attacks of the 4th kind are based in Oppression in its major form--Racism. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Racism is our greatest enemy. Racism is a dominant part of the American Society and the world. Racism is so dominant that much of it carries on all the time, without our being aware of it. We, just recently, during Obama&#039;s Campaign, early on, started&amp;nbsp; questioning Racism, which is only one form of oppression. But, Racism is a major one.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; It&#039;s pounded in all of us, Americans, etc., so early, and, so reinforced over and over again, that we live in a racist fog. This is true of us, victims, people of color, of the oppression as well. We, people of color, live in an internalized cloud of racism.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Collin Powell, an African American, accepted by the majority American Society, as an African American exceptional, endorcing another African America man, not yet accepted by the majority, acted above and beyond the racism fog called internalized racism. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I say that America is motivated, inspired , beyond&amp;nbsp;the dream to end, eliminate Racism in America. While McCain/Palin, acting within the realms of Racism, the 4th Kind/level of attacks, continue to fall further into their own distresses to make Obama powerless, are finding themselves, slowly, driving off their necessary support to attain the Presidency of America.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Look back , just a few days/weeks ago, to actions of&amp;nbsp; McCain/Palin team. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For the attacks of the 4th Kind, the leaders would need to anticipate the possibility and prepare the Obama members ti counter-attack without hesitation, unitedly, and with indignation when such attacks occur.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The slander voiced against Obama are best undebated and even undenied until after the counter-attacks have defeated the attacks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Let&#039;s unite with General Powell and other Americans, white, brown, or indifferent making this giant step to elect a young gifted/talented African American, demonstrate America&amp;nbsp;actions to&amp;nbsp;overcome oppression in its many forms: adultism, racism, sexism, classism, polytheism, ageism, etc. Overcoming Racism may take a lifetime. But, at least, we have made a giant step that we can share with our children, today and in the future.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Action Speaks&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:gloriahnt@yahoo.com&quot;&gt;gloriahnt@yahoo.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Presidential Campaign Is Humanity vs Distress and Rationality vs Irrationality</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Presidential Campaign: Humanity vs Distresses: Rationality vs Irrationality October 19, 2008 We define intelligence as the ability to come up with a brand-new accurate response for each new situation, to never use an old response for each new situation, to never use an old response for a new situation, because a new situation is new, and if you try to use something that worked fine for a previous situation, its not going to quite fit in the new situation which never occurred before, wrote my psychology teacher/mentor.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The American Presdential Campaign2008 is a new situation where McCain/Palin and the Republican Congress is trying to use old responses to a new situation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our Presidential Campaign 2008 has become Humanity vs Historical Distresses; Rationallity vs Irrationality. McCain/Palin are acting on the basis/foundation of oppression. Oppression has many forms: racism, sexism, classism, polytheism, adultism, etc. You name it and there it is. While the Obama/Biden actions are based or founded on heritage not history. Intelligence not piles and piles of hurts(Distresses) that were instilled in them as children and have become chronic patterns because of re-stimulation. To state it simply. The old distresses accidently, placed on McCain/Palin as childrens are negative recordingd being played all the time in their minds and in their public actions before millions and millions of people in America and the wide-world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I believe that every child is born, Intelligent(gifted), yet when the person&#039;s distresses becomes chronic patterns, intelligence is operable in ways that do not contradict the chronic patterns.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While watching the campaign from my television set and my pc in my living room, I took out my psychology books. I followed through page by page, day by day week by week , the pre-conditioned actions that McCain/Palin would take. Down to the 4th level of attacks on Barack Obama/Joe Biden by McCain/Palin and their campaign team, which included &amp;quot;Joe the Plumber&amp;quot;incident.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What Voter(each voter born intelligent), in their inherent mentality, would cast a vote for the McCain/Palin ticket. McCain/Palin has launched a campaign that lowers the mentality of American people. McCain, in their rallies are appealing to the distresses and irrationality of the American voters. That sad and dangerous for America.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Undecided Voters, Let&#039;s not be pulled into actions tried years and years ago to elect our candidates for the American President/VPresident2008-2012.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Voter Humanity not Chronic Distress Patterns. Vote Rationality. Not irrationality.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Vote Obama/Biden.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;action speaks&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;gloriahnt@yahoo.com &lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Voters, Think Positive Change: Think Obama</title>
            <description>Voters, Think Positive &lt;p class=&quot;description&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;Friday, October 17, 2008&lt;a name=&quot;2510183388498638532&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://actionspeaks91.blogspot.com/2008/10/voters-think-positive-change.html&quot;&gt;Voters, Think Positive Change&lt;/a&gt; Our American President Candidate 2008:Barack Obama needs all the positive vibes we can give to him, directly and indirectly.&lt;br /&gt;Negative Attacks against Our Candidate are at Level 4.&lt;br /&gt;Level 4 Attacks against leadership(Barack Obama), are usually an outsider(s)example:(Joe the plumber)and the new telephone ad) that the opposition(McCain/Palin) hires/acquires to do low-down, dirty work to embarrass, disrespect, just straight out lie, on the winning candidate (Barack Obama)because the candidate(Senator Obama) is winning on good Human values and becoming more influential among American voters. Americans are being exploited by the McCain/Palin team. (McCainPalin team is operating on the negative premise that &amp;quot;all is fair in love and war&amp;quot;), seems to be the basis for all the McCain/Palin lies/deceit and other negativity coming from McCain/Palin team.&lt;br /&gt;You and I know within our heart, mind, soul, what is real. Human beings(Voters) are created good by God. But, when the human being(McCain/Palin) feel powerlessness, they(McCain/Palin) also feel the hurts and other distresses from their childhood that were never overcome, those hurt feelings continue as adults, (McCain/Palin), they began blaming another humans( Obama/Biden) for their(McCain/Palin) distresses or troubles(McCain/Palin are, now, losing...)McCain/Palin blame Obama/Biden for the media not covering them as they(McCain/Palin) feel the media is covering Senator Obama. McCain/Palin appeal to American good hearts to think that Obama is &#039;unfairly&#039; having everything easier than McCain/Palin...McCain/Palin will pay a very heavy price for the lies, disrespect, and other evil tactics, in powerlessness, because we, voters, are using more than the 10% of our intelligence as we (voters) are documented to use.&lt;br /&gt;Let us as voters demonstrate 2008: Voters are Using more than 10% of our intelligence is the beginning of the &amp;quot;Change We Need&amp;quot; in America.&lt;br /&gt;McCain/Palin &amp;quot; have taken the gloves off&amp;quot; as they have said(McCain/Palin team. Everything negative, will be placed in Obama&#039;s path to block the positive change --Barack Obama, President of The United States of America--&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Change implies departure from tradition, newness,doing things differently, reorganization, upheaval. When the usual is valued, changes are viewed with suspicion and advocates of change with apprehension. The attitude of members in this kind of community might well be. So-and-so is a rabble-rouser and doesn&#039;t belong in our system. Let&#039;s do what we can to get him/her out. And, they really are successful. This kind of work environment breeds contentment for those who suscribe to the inherent values, and complete frustration for the movers and doers. Change, when it happens, as Barack Obama elected as President of the United States of America, will be exceedingly slow, will occur in barely observable increments, and will probably lag far behind the need for it&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;.(The above paragraph was taken from Libby Benjamin and Garry R.

The advocates for Obama/Biden Candidacy , Here&#039;s a challenge to motivate and promote the good:&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue and if there be any praise, Think on those things.

            <title>Serious Message on Attacks, Voters, Candidate</title>
            <description>Hello Keith, I am Gloria Keith. Perhaps the name Keith is what keeps me tuned in and inviting others to tune in to your show, although, I watch the repeats, all evening. Then, as I re-evaluate, I know that it&#039;s your valued attributes of faith, not fear, humanity, ,not envy or coldness. Rachel and Chris have those same characteristics. And, guess who else has the glorious attributes, you, Chris, Rachel, others have in common--Barack Obama. I appreciate you and the others I mentioned above relevant to the subject matter--Our next 44th USA President-- Now, I ask, in your sparetime, that you read my articles and pass them on to others--perhaps, we can connect to millions of others like us who will put the right President in office, this time... If the other team, full of anger, envy, hate, and other undischarged distresse, gets in our Commander-Chief office--America&#039;s Human society is &amp;quot;doomed&amp;quot; So much for negativity. My purpose for writing articles relevant to politics/American Leadership is to challenge the oppositions&#039; negativity in the air. I am permanently disabled. But, before I hung my coat up on humanitarian activities, I drank a great deal of knowledge, wisdom, understanding of human-kind that I am able to pass on to my children, grandchild, others like them--So my goal is to keep a balance against the evils of this world... Thank you, Keith, for being who you are. We appreciate you---actionspeaks gloriahnt@yahoo.com Voters, Candidates, Attacks by Gloria Keith 10/15/2008, 2:53 PM # Rate this topic Delete Favorites Reply Every American Voter has an inherent complete, absolute Freedom of decision: Trust your own thinking Choosing The Best USA President. Barack Obama. We can decide anything. We&#039;re absolutely free to decide intelligently or decide unintelligently. We&#039;re free to decide on the basis of the evidence; we&#039;re free to decide in the teeth of the evidence. We&#039;re free to make a good decision or a perverse decision. This may not sound very progressive, but I think we have to face this absolute freedom of decision to vote for a Black Democratic President or we won&#039;t reach for our intelligent power. This freedom of decision means we can decide, right now, not to indulge in a single bit of traditional behavior (discrimination, racism, sexism, etc.)from now on. I don&#039;t know how often we&#039;re going to have to decide on the USA President, but we, voters, have the freedom to decide and make it stick. Let&#039;s decide on a fresh, clean future for our children, grandchildren and ourselves--Vote Obama. His has exemplified best characteristics of being a real American human being. Each moment of Barack Obama and Michelle on television brings the beginning of a fresh, clean future that we do not need to allow it to be contaminated by past 8 years of distress. With Barack Obama as President, we can keep it clear and clean by our free decision. Don&#039;t succumb to carelessness to slip, allowing our new future of having new presidential leadership in Obama get messed up, by listening to the attacks of McCain/Palin. Trust your own thinking, Resist the attacks on Barack Obama by Palin/McCain and others who need someone to blame their powerless on someone else.My mentor on humanity said, &amp;quot;To blame another human for one&#039;s troubles is to accept powerless for oneself. McCain/Palin are blaming Barack Obama for their troubles and hurts are in serious trouble. They pay very, very, heavy price for their own powerlessness. You&#039;ve seen this happen over and over again in the media. McCain/Palin get hit with their own lies and attacks. To Voters: Trust you own thinking. When you go to the polls, you will be faced with 1. Taking thoughtful examinations of your thinking to distinguish between your thinking Barack Obama is the best USA President and your traditional patterned compulsions or assumptions-McCain/Palin, but you will always be able to tell the difference if you check your own intelligent thinking. No one else&#039;s thinking for you about your choices can possibly be accurate enough and well-informed enough to be a guide for your decision on the best USA Presidential candidate. Use your own inner-strengths-God-given intelligence. When you act on your own thinking after gathering all the knowledge, wisdom and understanding of the candidate, you won&#039;t go wrong. You , yourself answer the question: Who is the very best person I want to share my history with and the history of my grandchildren. Resist the attacks made on Barack Obama. Biblical: Resist the devil and he will flee from you.&amp;quot; To Senator Obama: Resistance to your leadership from the people you are trying to lead will usually come from their accumulated prejudices and distresses arising out of traditional experiences with oppressive leadership in America. Traditional leadership has often been used to exploit people, to rip them off, to take advantage of them, to lie and dramatize their lies against you. Some voters &#039; sympathy is played upon and some voters become vulnerable to this traditional pattern. McCain/Palin have implemented many levels of attack on you. As an American voter/resident I am indeed, sorry on the behalf of every American Citizen, wise and foolish. Clinton attack. Level 2: Democrats have criticized you to see if you can handle attacks from outside and stick to your program. You , Obama passed the McCain/Palin test. You handled this attack relaxed and confident, therefore you were able to hear without being tense or defensive, therefor the McCain/Palin attack level 2 period was shortened. 3. McCain/Palin attack level 3: Attacks came from individuals, not necessarily from within your party--yet, they are locked into traditional patterns of seeking revenge or &amp;quot;hurting somebody back&amp;quot; from vicious mistreatment they&#039;ve endured in their own childhoods. Your attackers may have been &amp;quot;pickers of fights&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;muggers&amp;quot;, rapists&amp;quot;, etc. found in the audiences of McCain/Palin&#039;s rallies. These level 3 attackers attack you because they identify your having a caring, rational programs with your being &amp;quot;timid idealist&amp;quot; a &amp;quot;naive &amp;quot;do-gooder&amp;quot;, an &amp;quot;easy mark&amp;quot;. Those attackers seek to disrupt and &amp;quot;plunder&amp;quot; you and your campaign team. From these attacks, you learn(ed) you need to organize protection, shed any naive patterns of your own, learn self-defense. You can&#039;t assume that McCain/Palin will not permit those kind of attackers in their campaign camp. 4. The fourth kind of attacks will be inspired by the repressive agencies of America. No bounds. As you saw in Florida, deputy rallying against you with his uniform on. The fourth kind of attacks comes from whoever McCain/Palin(Republicans) can secure to act as their agents. These attacks are a tribute to your having achieved significant influence. For the 4th kind of attacks, you need to anticipate the possibility and prepare your campaign team members to counter-attack without hesitation, unitedly, and with indignation when suck attacks occur. The slanders voiced against you are best undebated and even undefined until after the counter-attacks have defeated the attacks. Obama Campaign members should have agreed ahead of time to not discuss or argue the assertions but only counter-attack indignantly until attacks have been defeated. Any mistakes or weaknesses of yours that are offered as excuses for the attacks can be dealt with if necessary, but, only within your campaign team, privately and only after the attacks have been defeated. There is no doubt that Senator Obama understand and is prepared to handle these difficulties. That&#039;s part of being the effective leader and all the leaders you produce need this knowledge and preparation. Including your office in Panama City, Bay, Florida. Once prepared, however, these possibilities need not preoccupy your attention-Senator Obama. You , Senator Obama , are doing a good job of leading and have reduced the frequency of attacks occurrence and knowing what to do when the attacks at any level occur limits the time and energy spent on the attacks. Senator Obama, thank you and continue on your way, moving forward to make the changes we need in America and the wide-world. actionspeaks gloriahnt@yahoo.com</description>

            <title>Effective Economic Strategy for An Economic Crisis</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Effective Economic Strategy Suggestion &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To Barack Obama &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From Registered Democratic Voter&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What are the critical elements of an effective strategy in the current situation:Economic Crisis?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A. Persistent, patient explanation to all sections of the American population in every state, county, and city in America that the suvival of Americans and the effective solving of any problems of any sections of the American population is right now crucially dependent on the transformation of the American Presidency from Republican domination to Democratic equality, where the working population is a part of the decision-making process. The preservation of the world-wide environment, the ending of pollution, the intervention of war, the prevention of nuclear holocaust, the curbing of crime, the functioning of the educational systems, the intervention of world starvation, adequate health care for everyone, and the elimination of racist, sexist and all other oppressions, can no longer, any of them, be achieved to any satisfactory degree without the transformation of our American Presidential leadership to a democratic leadership.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Large numbers of Americans are on the verg of reaching such a conclusion for themselves. If such a conclusion is given the right voice--Baracp Obama, it will meet ready agreement. The transformation will be hindered only by American fears--such as fears about taking any initiative for their own survival; and by voter apathetic &amp;quot;trust&amp;quot; in present Republican leaders to &amp;quot;take care of them.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A sizable number of American voters have become completely disillusioned with the present republican leadership but have found no alternative in the republican presidential candidate and his team except bitterness, apathy, despair, resorts to violence, or chanting determined hopelessness to each other. To reach these American voters will require the sturdiest optimism and the most intransigent firmness on the part of the Democratic party leadership--rejecting their painful emotional rigidities but insisting that the American people themselves can take a different attitude, can be valuable in the struggle to overcome America&#039;s money problems.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Middle-class America is Crucial&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;B. The education and organization of Middle-class, particularly, industrial American workers and most particularly Disadvantaged Residents Entering America&#039;s Mainstream(D.R.E.A.M.), in American foundation industries, industries on which all other American industries depend. This would include the improvement of American consciousness, enhanced organization of the unorganized middle-class into trade groups, the reclaiming of self-control by D.R.E.A.M.; the ending of racism and sexism and all other forms of oppression within organized labor, and initiative from the organized middle-class workers to seek alliances with world-wide people, such as consumers, environmentalists, American farmers, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The workers in the bacis industries are the Americans whom the present economic system has put into a position of great democratic potential power. At the same time, a Wall Street Economic system has somewhat brainwashed the republican leadership and government into accepting an attitude of American powerlessness while continuing to force the Republican leadership to rediscover their power as an essential for their republican leadership survival. It is not the Republican leaders in the American government that have real power. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bush, the American Republican President of the USA, over the weekend, met with other economic leadership of other world-wide countries. That leadership has little or no power to go in a progressive direction; once committed to the system, he/she is able only to move in that direction. But the middle-class and D.R.E.A.M. in the basic industries has the power to call a halt to the entire production of American wealth, and can, once clear enough in their own minds and firmly enough united, require any change in America that the middle-class wish.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Look for &amp;quot;Effective Strategy C&amp;quot; in my next blog.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Action Speaks&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;gloriahnt@yahoo.com&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Barack Obama: Overcoming The Greatest Barrier To Change: Racism</title>
            <description>&lt;p class=&quot;description&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;Sunday, October 12, 2008&lt;a name=&quot;4776973562289381482&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://actionspeaks09.blogspot.com/2008/10/barack-obama-overcoming-greatest.html&quot;&gt;Barack Obama: Overcoming The Greatest Barrier To Change:Racism&lt;/a&gt; There are a whole bunch of distress patterns that have been placed on us during our childhood, that come from the oppressive society. These oppressions are our enemy. One of the oppression forms is Racism.&lt;br /&gt;Racism exists in most places of the world. In the USA, of course, racism is a dominant part of the society, still, today, 2008. Racism is so dominant that much of it carries on all the time, without our being aware of it. We, dare not, question it. It&#039;s pounded into us so early, and so reinforced over and over again, that we live in a racist fog. This is true of the victims of the oppression as well. They live in an internalized cloud of racism.&lt;br /&gt;Racism is the greatest barrier to the Change we Need. The positive Change that Barack Obama is Making Happen in This America. In This World of Confusion.&lt;br /&gt;Racism is not only hurting Black America. Racism is the enemy to White America, also. Racism is spoiling the lives of many people. Here&#039;s a challenge to each American to work toward getting rid of racism and help your neighbor get rid of theirs. There will be great results. One result will be, &amp;quot;people of color&#039;s lives won&#039;t be double hard. Our lives will lack confusion.&lt;br /&gt;To Each American Voter,Join me. Make this commitment with me:&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;I resent and will fiercely oppose racism&#039;s crippling limits to the progress of my beloved human race. Always keeping in mind my proud heritage of fighting oppression, and wanting to enrich my present and future, I will engage and join with others to smash racism that we will trust our heart, believing that Barack Obama is the very best USA Presidential candidate for our America, 2009-2012.&amp;quot; where we live with our families, our children, our neighbors--sincerely Action Speaks&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:gloriahnt@yahoo.com&quot;&gt;gloriahnt@yahoo.com&lt;/a&gt; Posted by Action Spe</description>

            <title>Voters, Let&#039;s Give Barack Obama The Benefit of Doubt Obama Was Born Darker Not Dumber Than all the Other 40+ Presidents of The USA...</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Sunday, October 12, 2008&lt;a href=&quot;http://actionspeaks09.blogspot.com/2008/10/obama-born-darker-not-dumber.html&quot;&gt;Obama: Born Darker Not Dumber&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Review Your History. The American Presidents of America represented the majority of the American Population of America. What is the make-up of America, today, 2008?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Take an honest look at the USA population, today, 2008? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Take a look at McCain/Palin. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The other night at the special dinner, televised on most TV stations, recently. Watch and listen to John McCain and his introduction of Barack Obama. McCain spoke from humanity, which we all have. Some person&#039;s humanity is more developed than others. The other side of the human is filled with piles of hurt patterns that sometimes overcome our God-given intelligence. McCain, at the dinner showed the human-side, while he shared humour and during his introduction of Barack Obama---McCain shared with us the real McCain. The McCain who feels more comfortable and at the dinner, McCain felt safe. Everything McCain said at the dinner, listen to the tape, contradicted the negative attacks he makes in public among those that he represents--McCain&#039;s Oppressors/Oppressor-agents. The day after the big TV Dinner, McCain authorized, according to the RoboAD Calls, dangerous rheotic. McCain seems to have forgotted what he remembered at the Big Dinner, that his traditional patterns of distress--the pile of hurts that make our intelligence appear vulerable and have accumulated on us. Those patterns of hurts that were put on us by society, the environment of that we grew up in are very much our enemy--not Obama, nor any other human beings. The whole bunch of distresses that come from an oppressive society of ignorance. These oppressions, whether in the form of racism, sexism, classism, adultism, polytheism, etc., are our enemy. The major oppression form operating at this point of the Presidential/VPresidential, Congressional races is Racism. Racism can be overcome. And, Racism Can Be Eliminated. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But, we, voters must replace our fear with Faith. We must look to Barack Obama as a person, assured, to represent All America. The America that includes peersons of many colors, yet person born as intelligent as you and I are. If not NOW, when? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Voters, Give Barack Obama, the benefit of Doubt--He. Obama, can&#039;t do any wrost than those other 40+ presidents, we faithfully, voted on to lead our Country--America&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Isn&#039;t this why we live here, in America? Taking chances. Believing in our God, that things will get better, even when it means: Making Change Happen? Voters, Undecided, Decided Voters:Let&#039;s vote for Change We Need: Barack Obama&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Change We Need Is Change Possible</title>
            <description>&lt;a name=&quot;7852118249030618559&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://actionspeaks16.blogspot.com/2008/10/change-we-need-is-change-possible.html&quot;&gt;CHANGE WE NEED IS CHANGE POSSIBLE&lt;/a&gt; The survival of America is now crucially dependent on the transformation of the presidential selection being from republican irrational leadership to a Democratic rational Presidency 2009-2012.&lt;br /&gt;Contraditions have been inherent in the republican party from the beginning of the past 8 years since a republican president took charge in Washington, D. C. Some of American citizens are relieved in this transitional change from the Republican presidency to a Democratic Presidential leadership.&lt;br /&gt;Because of the deep committment of all American institutions to profit as the overriding ideological force, and because of the persistence of the profit motivation as the overriding ingredient in the distress patterns of the Republican leaders in the American society, no safeguards are left within our American economy to preserve the American environment, American human life, American human culture, and all the rest. Changing from a Republican Presidency, George Bush to a democratic Presidency is definitely necessary, not only for the improvement of American human living and thinking and American human survival, this drastic change will benefit global life as well.&lt;br /&gt;CHANGE NOW IS POSSIBLE. &amp;quot;All the objective conditions for the rapid transformation to a rational presidency are present.&amp;quot; American values, American survival, the care and preservation of America, the enjoyment of life-- none of these are enhanced by the continuation of Republican Leadership. The efficiency of American production, of food, machines, consumer goods, and capital goods, is now starting to reach the point where American production for the enhancement of living is easily possible. All preconditions for a cooperative American society are present.&lt;br /&gt;There&#039;s no shortage of technology, yet there is a shortage of Financial resources. All American human needs call for a transformation of the American society; all pro-human needs call for a transformation of this American Society; all American human needs call for the ending of Republican leadership, to change to a better society..&lt;br /&gt;Existing Republican and Democratic groups proclaim themselves determined to achieve decisive changes in this American society contain some individuals who can and should be included in an effective by-partisan leadership body when it is created. Most of the 2 American political parties, however, and most of the individuals in them, are so heavily involved and emotionally committed to partisan policies and political rigidities as to constitute a difficulty and an obstruction to the necessary American leadership and organization of the present struggle for positive economic change. Most of the present political groups and American people presuming to political leadership among them are preoccupied with traditional labels, with allegiances to partisan movement of the past or in other than their own states, cities, towns, and argue or polemicize about terms which had clear meaning and definitions in other times and places but which are often far from clear in these times and countries with which are often far from clear in the times and American states with which they should presently be concerned.&lt;br /&gt;It is very nice to have an existing political group(Democratic parties), existing political leadership-Barack Obama, that is clear enough and well organized enough that we can simply throwour support to them. From time to time, we must re-evaluate our American standing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;actionspeaks&lt;br /&gt;gloriahnt@yahoo.com Posted by Action Speaks at &lt;a href=&quot;http://actionspeaks16.blogspot.com/2008/10/change-we-need-is-change-possible.html&quot; title=&quot;permanent link&quot;&gt;2:16 PM&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3623736553955578305&amp;amp;postID=7852118249030618559&quot;&gt;0 comments&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=3623736553955578305&amp;amp;postID=7852118249030618559&quot; title=&quot;Edit Post&quot;&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;icon-action&quot; src=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;18&quot; height=&quot;18&quot; /&gt; &lt;/a&gt;</description>

            <title>AMERICAN D. R. E. A. M. Supports Barack Obama USA President 2008</title>
            <description>The American D.R.E.A.M.:DISADVANTAGED RESIDENTS ENTERING AMERICA MAINSTREAM--SUPPORT BARACK OBAMA, USA PRES./BIDEN,VPRES. At this time , October , 2008, the American situation is changing most rapidly. In America, in Florida, there is a great awakening and taking of iniative toward fundamental improvement in the economic, political and social situations with which the American people are contending. The owning- class-working-class societies,commonly referred to as &amp;quot;capitalist&amp;quot; societies, are becoming united in an American economy, The great divide and distiention these Americans functioned under previously to now, is completed dissolved or dissolving , fastly, in this time of economic crisis. On the surface, reforms are being offered by politians ahd other traditional leadership, to rebuild America&#039;s fundemental base, economically, socially, andpolitically. The American economic base is coming apart and extreme damges are negatively affecting the world around us. Dramatic signs of economic collapse are held up to the public in every state within the USA. Prehaps, even more significant are the signs of instability in California&#039;s economies. The markets of the American powers are presently kept functioning only by wildly accelerating increases in the national debts and in concentration of wealth through the current orgies of mergers and take-overs (Big Businesses of Wall Street. There is no end in sight of the Iraq war, that has an extreme financial pressure over America&#039;s economy. There is a wartime mentality that further divides America, yet, kept operating to justify the plundering of the American environment and of the future through huge profit-taking of the war when it is ended. The set-aside war funds must began fading out in order to restore America to its riches. McCain/Palin, the Republican party, are deeply disillusioned in American Northern states. The South, where most struggles for liberation/integration had been aborted at the level of national activity, the southern oppressor-agents, feeling they have succeeded the financial crisis are hurting. Many Wall Street Corporations and other self-serving leaders have proven themselves at least as merciless, greedy, corrupt,, and oppressive as those we name our enemies, as well as the incumbent politians whom they are replacing and whom they yet, serve. Many Americans are in a new situation. Conditions in the upcoming Presidential change 2009-2012 are qualitatively very different from most of our historical crisis periods. It would be an abdication of our American responsibilties if we were to drift on only with the attitudes and policies that we had worked out in the past 8 years. It is time for all Americans to take stock of the Changes We Need as led by Barack Obama in our American environment, to revise and update all our American programs and attitudes including Americans of Difference.(recent immigrants, etc.) It&#039;s possible to use our visions and dreams of positive change we need. We must also use our skills to propose and guide activies for all Americans that will serve their real needs and the needs ofother Americans of the future. Objective conditions are very favorabl for building fundamental freedom and economic change, that can, in the process of their activities, evolve the structures and programs for a future unoppressive, workable, rational fundamental society. Those political leaders, including the USA President/VPresident must be armed with knowledge of the existence of distress(emotional) patterns, the roles of distress patterns , with the skills needed for coping with and eventually eliminating them in good faith. The principal change we need, now, in America is for a clear, understandable analysis of the current American situation(including the role of distress patterns) and a reasonable, understandable, beginnable program for taking thorough-going, persistent, no limits actions to change , entirely, our American Crisis. Few leaders or organizations show signs of being either clear enough or determined enough to furnish adequate leadership in the present and future American situations. Barack Obama is the one of the few, destined to lead America, today, 2008. As for the race difference of Barack Obama, perhaps, many of registered voters have never lived around African-Americans. But, America is expanding so rapidly, most of our present voters are quite new. I pray and hope that this article of true human facts will be widely distributed, read and responded to. Such responses can furnish the basis for a more reational, well-developed, up-to-date financial program for effective, undestructive economic change, both for Americans and the people of the wide-world. Thank You, America--- actionspeaks gloriahnt@yahoo.com</description>

            <title>How Will The Election Of Barack Obama Change The Justice /Criminal System For The Under-served</title>
            <description>From: &lt;a href=&quot;http://groups.msn.com/ActionSpeaks/profile?user=actionspeaks&quot; title=&quot;View Member Information of sender.&quot;&gt;actionspeaks&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;WILL THE ELECTION OF BARACK OBAMA CHANGE the JUSTICE SYSTEM Inequalities for Young BLACK families&amp;nbsp; and other PEOPLE OF COLOR IN FLORIDA CITIES, COUNTIES?&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;I sat in the courtroom and watched the different handling of young black couples being destroyed by the system while the same system encouraged young white couples to stay together. Blacks were issued annual injunctions. Whites&amp;nbsp; were issued immediate injunction lifts...all cases dealt with anger and aggression not physical violence. The young Black males went to jail on felonies although the wives or patners withdrew their irrational complaints. The State Attorneys picked up on the complaints and continued court processes without due process. Arrests are made 3 months later, though the young black males have been fully cooperative... Public Defenders are not defending the black males. They force them to accept plea bargains in fear when there is no evidence for case trial continuance...Our young blacks and other people of color and of differences continue to be railroaded in Florida Counties. Bay County , especially, today, September 2008. Martin Lee Anderson was killed in Bay County Booth Camp at 14 years old just a few years ago.&amp;nbsp; WILL THE ELECTION OF BARACK OBAMA CHANGE THE INJUSTICE SYSTEM FOR BLACK MALES AND OTHER PEOPLE OF COLOR IN FLORIDA CITIES, COUNTIES, LIKE BAY COUNTY FLORIDA?&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;BLACK MAN ENDS UP IN JAIL CHARGED W/O DUE PROCESS OF THE LAW.&lt;br /&gt;Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:gloriahnt@yahoo.com&quot; target=&quot;_top&quot;&gt;gloriahnt@yahoo.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:actionspeaks85@hotmail.com&quot; target=&quot;_top&quot;&gt;actionspeaks85@hotmail.com&lt;/a&gt;</description>

            <title>WOW! Sarah Palin Reads NYTIMES after Katie Couric&#039;s Interview</title>
            <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://groups.msn.com/ACTIONSPEAKSHERITAGEEDUCATIONSYSTEMCENTERINC/profile?user=actionspeaks&quot; title=&quot;View Member Information of sender.&quot;&gt;actionspeaks&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;SURPRISE! SURPRISE! SURPRISE! Sarah Palin can read Newspaper. Sat. Morn. Oct. 4, 2008.Now, how many days/weeks/months passed by since the News Media broke the story on Barack Obama and Bill Ayers,(Now an Ed. Professor at an American College) lived and met in the same environment?&amp;nbsp; Do the math.To Palin: Sarah, It looks as though you have taken the ball from McCain, and running with it. You did not stop to ask: &amp;quot;Why McCain is using you as an Attack She-Dog against another human-being? Bill Ayers is old news and Bill has years to have repented of his &amp;quot;sins&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp;The attack you made against Obama about who he has as a neighbor has been tried before. But, of course, you, Palin, have not reaped&amp;nbsp;havoc from the lies you committ to telling each day and what&amp;nbsp;may be, SPIRITUALLY,&amp;nbsp; in store for you for making a predetermine false judgement against a person you never met , neither has Obama disrespected you as a human-being.McCain is your dictator . Does this mean that God is no longer your TRUTH/GUIDE in this WIDE WORLD of CONFUSION?I am also Pentecoastal raised. I, too, have special needs (3) children. So you and I have a lot in common. Then , again, I have approximately 40 years producing, developing, raising, and implementing programs for (3) special needs children, directly and thousands of other special needs children and adults.To Palin:&amp;nbsp; During last Thursday&#039;s Debate, you used the word, HUMANITARIAN. Do you really take the time to understand what this most important word means? Why did you, Sarah accept McCain&#039;s Charge for VP nominee?&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;A tree is known by the fruit it bears...&amp;quot; Sarah, I don&#039;t see good fruit yet from your position with McCain... It&#039;s not too late to RE-EVALUATE your decision. Your work as Governor worked in your behalf... Didn&#039;t it? Or did you not feel you had enough work as Governor? Tou claim you would be an advocate in the White House for &amp;quot;Special Needs Children&amp;quot;. Sarah, I haven&#039;t seen anything you do in behalf of Special Needs Children. Are you making use of your time as qualitative for your Special Needs Child? Do you have an IEP for him? Do you know what an IEP is? Have you thought of how important it is to have an IEP for your own Special Needs Child? First, your Special Needs Child needs to know that you, Sarah understands what it means to be a parent...&amp;quot;Being a parent implies becoming an advocate, a preacher, a lawyer, an accountant, a teacher, a nurse, and much more. Parents hold their children&#039;s guardianship, their proxy, their power of attorney, their custody, and their care. They (parents) are our children&#039;s representatives in the adult society and the protectors of their legal and human rights. Parents have the responsibility for their children&#039;s care and development 24 hours a day. 365 days a year for as long as they remain dependent&amp;quot;. (LaCrosse 1982)&amp;quot;BeingYou talk a lot about doing.Are you ready to do? Or, are you ready to learn? Can you stand&amp;nbsp;stedfast in truth and say &amp;quot;I, Sarah Palin, have joined McCain as the VP Nominee for my children, especially, my special needs child&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp;To Palin: Sarah, when you know, then, you will find no need to be McCain&#039;s &#039;attack she-dog&#039; spending most of your time being programmed to speak negativity. I&amp;nbsp;pray that you will soon see your potential calling as a positive motivator.&amp;nbsp;I have done and have learned, not all things but&amp;nbsp; a lot...ACTION SPEAKS To Palin: Read between the lines. Think twice about who it is you are hurting with your repeating&amp;nbsp;dictated lies.&amp;nbsp;Just a suggestion: Please don&#039;t&amp;nbsp;allow McCain to continue using you as his attack she-dog. Sarah, Use your heart. Not your tongue to spue out negativity about Obama. If you are set to win this race and believe this is truly your charge--Remember--actionspeaks</description>

            <title>How Sarah Palin was choosen as McCain&#039;s Republican VP Candidate</title>
            <description>Palin was spontaneously and irrationally chosen by McCain to go against Barack Obama w/o question. Sarah Palin is a victim of exploitation. McCain&#039;s Oppressor tactics have, thus for, backfired on him and those other co-oppressors and oppressor-agents.Yet, with careful thought, Palin could, again, because the leader of the Republican party if she fill-in the gaps of her intellectual development of the issues facing the American people. America sees in Palin what McCain didn&#039;t show while facing Obama in the Debate, last Friday, nor does McCain demonstrate in one-to-one interviews:Humanity. Perhaps, McCain has lived so long controlling others that he can&#039;t demonstrate self-control, kindness, etc. to others different than himself. McCain is a dictator and will have immediate problems with Palin when Palin resumes her role as leader. Perhaps, Palin will be herself at this debate on Thursday, October 2, 2008.&lt;br /&gt;After the debate, will Palin further steer herself away from :1. dealing with her family crisis? 2. After the debate, will Palin make her special Needs&#039; child a priority by learning how and what to do to teach her special needs child to overcome the physical disabilities, and develop the giftedness God has given to be a special contributor to our human society.&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps, Palin will better see the biblical instructions:&lt;br /&gt;Study to show yourself approved, not being ashame to train her special needs child in the way he/she should go...&amp;quot; in this wide-world.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;To Palin:The best positive development of a special needs child is while in infant stages.&lt;br /&gt;Palin can seek and gain the knowledge, wisdom and understanding of being the President/Vice President, now and when she has acquired enough knowledge, wisdom and understanding of being a VP or Pres.,her special needs child will know as Palin will know her special needs child&#039;s purpose in this world.&lt;br /&gt;Again, winning the debate tomorrow is not the confirmation Palin fears:to be VP. It&#039;s simply suggests that McCain&#039;s exploitation of Palin worked in McCain&#039;s behalf.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:actionspeaks85@hotmail.com&quot;&gt;actionspeaks85@hotmail.com&lt;/a&gt;</description>

            <title>Barack Obama is Making Change Happen in This World of Confusion</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Senator Barack Obama is Making Change Happen in &amp;quot;This World of Confusion October 07, 2008 &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;We live in a world of Confusion &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;People have problems they cannot face. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We have NO True Friends to turn to. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We MUST turn to our God&#039;s Love and Grace. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Biblical references used in writing this song verse: IChronicles 7:14; Phillipians 4:3; 4:13) &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many conditions common knowlege in world-wide communities, including America operate as barriers to change. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Senator Barack Obama, African-American, USA Democratic Presidential Candidate overcame most of those barriers to positive change in his campaigning for the past 2+ years. A major barrier to positive change is OPPRESSION, in its many forms, adultism, classism, sexism, and racism. Sometimes, these obstacles aren&#039;t so easy to identify, though many people, surrounding, may physically see, clearly, the operative oppression form. And, then, again, All forms of oppression, including, politheism, may be in operation against Senator Obama and his visionary plan to positively change America and the wide-world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;America, and the wide-world of humans, currently, are in a critical and exciting place. On the one hand, the present mastery of the economy downfall has proceeded the point that beckons and welcomes the entire human race to simply apply what we have learned about good will and cooperation to our existence on our lovely planet-earth. On the other hand, the opponent, Senator McCain, and especially, his running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin with a broad-base of accumulated human distresses, have allowed, inherent conflicts in the oppressive society and the emergence of enormously destructive &amp;quot;weapons of past wars&amp;quot; make it possible that the human race &amp;quot;will not only wipe out positive change that Obama, King, Parks, and other humanitarians have made, in our human society, but, &amp;quot;destroy all other complex forms of life in the process.&amp;quot;(Jackins) &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Economic Crisis is clearly seen by many people and awarely or dimly feared by ALL people. Yet, &amp;quot; a strange kind of paralysis seems to afflict the human race overall and keeps it from acting decisively for a favorable future instead of a destructive one. This Economic paralysis is caused, in part by the absence of adequate and appropriate leadership, everywhere that humans(people) live.(paraphased from Jackins, my psychology mentor). The billions and billions of humans now existing are in the main leading lives of great hardship in the midst of economic potential plenty. The confused moods of the billions of people are often quiet despair simply because there do not seem to be adequate nor apropriate policies or economic or other leadership in the hiharchy in public office from the WhiteHouse to city government offices easily assesible or available to solve our money problems, our health problems, our energy problems, and other major problems affecting our children and us-adults we all are confronting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Adequate and appropriate leadership is NOW Necessary. This is the first principle. Adequate and appropriate leadership means taking responsibility for the conduct of the USA and the wide-world which is centered upon oneself and provding guidance, organization, and inspiration for the other humans who fall within the scope of the universe.(lessons on teaching RC).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Presidential Candidate 2008 elected and accepts the responsibilty of being America&#039;s President of human-beings from all walks of life must adopt a different point of view than that usually held by the USA President and Republican party of the past 8 years. Let no man fool you there is truly a traditional conditioning of our American Educational system and the experiences of living in an oppressive society. Members of the Republican party tend to think only of their own special needs. Reblicans have demonstrated, including McCain and Palin, they are operatives of self-serving leadership.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Palin said that , if she becomes our VP, she will be an advocate for &amp;quot;Special Needs Children&amp;quot;. Underline: &amp;quot;because I have a special needs child&amp;quot;. Research shows, Palin as Gov. of Alaska, reduced funding programs for &amp;quot;special needs children&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our USA President2008---must transcend their points of view and think of the human-Soceity as a whole. The USA President must, in the midst of Economic and other Crisis must think of America as a whole. No oppression. No arbitrary and cruel exercise of power. Our USA President must make positive change happen as Obama has, if America humanity is to function well. It is excellent and very workable if our New USA President and, his cabinet of senior leaders think of Americans as whole-Unity. It is spendid if our USA President and advocate leadership become able able to think of Americans as a whole and not separate them by labels when, the fact is, we, Americans are individuals, Still, not just for the USA President&#039;s traditional subjectivity, as Sarah Palin has demonstrated. Thought: I have yet to see or hear of Sarah&#039;s IEP for her &amp;quot;Special Needs Child&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;Special Needs Children&amp;quot; is a major issue for me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Barack Obama has insight and vision for our America. And, yes, it means change. Positive Change that We Need.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;actionspeaks85@hotmail.com&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Things they are a-changin&#039;!</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;McCain has reportedly pulled out of Michigan,&amp;nbsp; is down double digits in Minnesota and Pennsylvania, down high single digits in Wisconsin, Florida, and Virginia, and down now in Ohio and Nevada, and virtually even in Missouri. (Some polls even have Obama ahead in North Carolina!)&amp;nbsp; Celebration time?&amp;nbsp; Not hardly!&amp;nbsp; This can change on a dime.&amp;nbsp; We need people to get out and vote now more than ever.&amp;nbsp; We need big enough margins to get past the bumps in the road that we don&#039;t see coming yet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since my last post, we&#039;ve had a presidential and vice presidential debate.&amp;nbsp; Except for McCain looking grumpy and refusing to look at Senator Obama, not much interesting came from that one.&amp;nbsp; The VP debate was somewhat more interesting, but not definitive either.&amp;nbsp; You could tell that Senator Biden wanted so badly to say more than he did, but he was under strict orders not to attack Palin and stick to attacking McCain.&amp;nbsp; You don&#039;t want the &amp;quot;Educated=Elitist&amp;quot; argument coming back.&amp;nbsp; It drives me crazy that if you have an education your opinion should matter less than &#039;Joe six-pack&#039;, but it is how it is.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m debating (good choice of words for tonight) whether or not to take off Election Day to help drive voters to the polls.&amp;nbsp; If I had a better vehicle, it would be an easier choice.&amp;nbsp; Then again, if we had a better economy I might have a better vehicle.&amp;nbsp; I&#039;ve personally convinced two of my Republican friends/relatives to vote for Obama this year.&amp;nbsp; If all of us could just change 2 minds, imagine the difference that could be made!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Palin- Governor of the country&#039;s largest state</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;This will be short, but hopefully it makes you think.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sarah Palin is the governor of a state where the estimated &lt;strong&gt;total&lt;/strong&gt; population is 670,053.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To put that in perspective, the estimated combined population for &lt;strong&gt;just the 4 most northwestern counties in Florida&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; (Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, and Walton) is 672,548.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are several issues with her that should be off limits.&amp;nbsp; Readiness to run a country of 305,054,378 and growing is not one of them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One heartbeat away from the Presidency.... &lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>The Real Manchurian Candidate</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;How many emails did you receive implying or stating outright, that &amp;quot;Obama is a secret Muslim sent to infiltrate our government and destroy our country&amp;quot;?&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I don&#039;t know about you, but I lost count. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, how many of the same people that forwarded those emails are going to vote for the McCain-Palin ticket?&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How ironic, that they may turn out to be the voters putting a &amp;quot;Manchurian Candidate&amp;quot; into the White House.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Palin, was a long time member of the Alaska Independence Party.&amp;nbsp; Just taking a gander at the name of her recent political affiliation, what do you think the primary goal of the Alaska Independence Party was?&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I pointed this out to a coworker over lunch, here in LA (Lower Alabama), he replied &amp;quot;Hey, that&#039;s a positive.&amp;nbsp; I am from a secessionist state.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And so we come to the true goal of the GOP.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>What Planet do you Live On?</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Paul Begala and&amp;nbsp;I don&#039;t always see eye to eye. But on one big, recent issue we have been in complete agreement: the need for Democrats to attack. For weeks, I have been advising, no, pleading for Barack to carry the fight to John McCain. &lt;a href=&quot;http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/markhainds/gGxY8B&quot;&gt;http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/markhainds/gGxY8B&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Damn the high road, McCain was sawing on Barack&#039;s Achilles tendon while our nominee was standing above the fray, talking about the issues. It&#039;s time to break the bottom off a Budweiser longneck and get to slashing. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The central thesis of the Republican&#039;s campaign is a hypothetical:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;A Democrat may do something bad&amp;nbsp;in foreign or domestic policy.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For eight years, the GOP worked at odds with every principle they professed to hold dear.&amp;nbsp;With control of the House, the Senate, and the Presidency, the GOP:&lt;br /&gt;Turned the biggest dollar&amp;nbsp;surplus in history into the biggest dollar deficit in history. Tripled the national debt.&amp;nbsp; Wiped out half the value of the US dollar, and ballooned the size of the federal government.&amp;nbsp; This list goes on ad infinetum.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We are not running on a hypothetical.&amp;nbsp; We are running on&amp;nbsp;reality - a fact based reality.&amp;nbsp; Not&amp;nbsp;the ideology based fantasy-world where the Republicans&amp;nbsp;dwell.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The central thesis of our campaign&amp;nbsp;is change.&amp;nbsp; Change from eight years Republican Hell.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;What planet do you live on?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If it is Earth - vote Democrat.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>FLORIDA FOR CHANGE-right here in the reddest part of the State!!!</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;As soon as Barack secured the nomination, there were many of us &amp;quot;FIRED UP&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;READY&amp;quot; and we couldn&#039;t wait to get started, and we DID!&amp;nbsp; And, NOW, for the first time since the KENNEDY campaign, &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;we actually have campaign staff and a national office in Destin, two Field Organizers in Okaloosa Co. working 7 days a week, 14 hours a day, who are depending on us for&amp;nbsp;help and direction.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is going to take every one of us working together to get as many voter registrations as possible, and then get those Democrats and Obama supporters to the polls Nov. 4th.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Obama&#039;s organization is amazing and we need to take advantage of the skills these staffers have brought to our area.&amp;nbsp; They can group us in efficient ways, do mass phone lists and record them with the campaign, and it is a lot of fun to work together!&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If we can make a 5% difference in this area, we can take FLORIDA!&amp;nbsp; We need workers in every precinct, and we need to be sure we are covering every area.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is imperative that this data be entered into the campaign database!&amp;nbsp; If you don&#039;t like making calls or knocking on doors, we still have a job for you!&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;There is something for everyone to do!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The organizers the Obama campaign sent us were not by accident!&amp;nbsp; They have special skills that work well in this demographic.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;PLEASE!&amp;nbsp; Let&#039;s COME TOGETHER, pool our efforts and we can do GREAT THINGS together. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We are all working for the same goal....to elect Barack Obama and end the last 8 years of tyranny!!!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; WE CANNOT ACCEPT ANYTHING BUT A WIN IN 2008 !!!!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Marg Savalas&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fort Walton Beach&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;GRAND OPENING - DESTIN OFFICE TONIGHT BEG. AT 5 pm - 970 GULFSHORE DRIVE&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>VP to break up the South?</title>
            <description>The choice for Vice President can&amp;rsquo;t be more than a few days away now, and it seems to have been reduced down to just a few names.&amp;nbsp; One of the names, Joe Biden, is a name that I thought would make a good choice way back in February.&amp;nbsp; He gives foreign policy knowledge to the ticket and would eliminate that as an issue for the Republicans to exploit in the final weeks and months of the election.&amp;nbsp; I can make a good case for all the remaining names on the list, including former Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.&amp;nbsp; One name has kind of snuck up on me recently however, and I find it quite interesting.&amp;nbsp;</description>

            <description>&lt;p&gt;Greetings fellow supporters and grassroots bretheren! I have compiled this list of my own Obama materials and have decided to share them with you. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Obama&#039;s campaign has made it so easy to reach out by providing us with a treasure trove of materials but, as you know, when you&#039;re in the trenches you may notice that you need tools the campaign didn&#039;t anticipate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Please feel free to download anything here for your use. I will continue to add to it as the months go on. I&#039;ll be adding leaflets, TRUTH flyers, videos, commericals...all free for your use. And if you need something that isn&#039;t here, and you don&#039;t have the skills or time to make it, please call or email me ENJOY !&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;http://vt71443.com/materials/index.html&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Saturday, July 5th, was the unveiling of a 3&#039; x 5&#039; OBAMA &#039;08 flag made by John Whitley and his friend, Kevin, of Ft. Walton Beach, along with a &amp;quot;Keep our Beaches Beautiful&amp;quot; banner.&amp;nbsp; The flags were displayed on a 36&#039; flagpole, which provided them with GREAT visibility!!!&amp;nbsp; THANKS JOHN-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Voter registrations were taken and petitions signed to prevent further offshore drilling.&amp;nbsp; It was a big tourist weekend and a great time to show that the Panhandle is OBAMA COUNTRY!!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We plan to have more beach events in the future and &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;need more local volunteers&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;...maybe during evening hours.&amp;nbsp; We had media support from a&amp;nbsp;member of&amp;nbsp; the new Progressive talk radio&amp;nbsp;station - 1120 AM - BEACH radio of Destin. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And, Mrs. Florida came by and took pictures-we are lucky to have her living in our own Niceville.&amp;nbsp; She is an active Obama supporter and&amp;nbsp;will be representing Florida at the National Mrs. America contest at the end of the month, which happens to be in Daytona this year.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Please Contact Toni Craig- 850-862-9969 - our Organizing Fellow - to get involved !!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>How Obama&#039;s most Fervent Supporters can Become the Campaign&#039;s Worst Enemies</title>
            <description>There is a point where enthusiasm turns into idolatry.&lt;br /&gt;There is a point where feverish support becomes unreasoning, narrow-minded idiocy.&lt;br /&gt;To win an election, the candidate must get more votes than the opposing candidate. &lt;br /&gt;No matter how much I admire and support Barack Obama, my vote is equal in value to the person who votes for Obama because they think he &amp;quot;has a nice smile&amp;quot;, or because they just hate McCain. &lt;br /&gt;If I drive one person to vote for McCain, then I have negated my vote for Obama.&lt;br /&gt;Many of Obama&#039;s supporters are frustrated with his intention to vote for FISA. But should we go and vote for McCain? I hope not!&lt;br /&gt;But according to one ardent Obama supporter, &amp;quot;Doris &#039;Hussein&#039; from MD&amp;quot;, we should go vote for McCain!&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday, another Obama supporter wrote a comment critical of Obama&#039;s FISA support. Doris &amp;quot;Hussein&amp;quot; from MD&amp;quot; replied &amp;quot;Go vote for McCain!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;When I sent a personal message to Doris, saying this wasn&#039;t very smart political tactics, she replied: &amp;quot;I didn&#039;t read your trash. Go vote for McCain!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;McCain doesn&#039;t have a better ally on this site than &amp;quot;Doris &#039;Hussein&#039; from MD.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;With a few more ardent supporters like this, Obama&#039;s campaign could be in serious trouble. &lt;br /&gt;So I beg of my fellow Obama &amp;quot;Supporters,&amp;quot; if you really want to see us win in 2008, don&#039;t be like Doris. Obama needs our votes, don&#039;t drive anyone away!!!</description>

            <title>Progressives are Turning Off</title>
            <description>Barack Obama appears to be tacking to the center in typical Democratic triangulation.&lt;br /&gt;
This move to the center, if continued, will end up sapping enthusiasm on the left. &lt;br /&gt;
When Arianna Huffington, Keith Olbermann, and Markos Moulitsos are simultaneously expressing their displeasure, Mr. Obama needs to pay attention.&lt;br /&gt;
The Progressive arm of the Democratic Party played an out-sized role in Democratic victories in 2006.  &lt;br /&gt;
The Progressive community lined up solidly behind Barack Obama in his quest for the Democratic nomination.  Without us, Hillary would be the nominee.  &lt;br /&gt;
Arianna makes a strong case for why losers move to the center (Gore &amp; Kerry), and Barack Obama is not a loser, so don&#039;t go that way!&lt;br /&gt;
The Progressive community will not get 100% of our agenda acted upon, but capitulating on FISA was a severe disappointment.  &lt;br /&gt;
The right is castigating Obama for &quot;flip-flopping&quot; on FISA, and the left is severely disappointed for the same reason.&lt;br /&gt;
Stand up for General Wesley Clark, he was standing up for you.   &lt;br /&gt;
Locate that backbone Senator.  We need it in November.  Hell, we need it right now!&lt;br /&gt;
I have a lot of feral hog that we need to cook at our ongoing series of &quot;Feral Hog Barbeques for Obama!&quot; It takes enthusiasm to plan, sponsor, and hold these events.  Your tacking to the center detracts from our enthusiasm and optimism.  Progressives will vote for you, no matter what.  But there will be fewer events, fewer volunteers, and fewer donations if you continue down this path.  &lt;br /&gt;
Don&#039;t be scared of the Right.  They are just bullies that have no idea what to do when someone actually stands up to them.  &lt;br /&gt;
Fight back.  Don&#039;t compromise. And we&#039;ll win big in November.</description>

            <title>Conservative stronghold</title>
            <description>I live in Panama City, Florida, which is considered a conservative area. They are very pro-military here and it is somewhere McCain has a natural advantage. Let&#039;s face it. The Republicans won&#039;t lose here because there is so much misinformation out there about Barack. Bay County is 87% white and a lot of people here are racist.&lt;br /&gt; We need a stronger Democratic Party here. The current one is weak.</description>

            <title>304,000 new registered voters in Florida?! Could it be?</title>
            <description>I just got back from my first organizing meeting. It was Polk For Obama. Obviously, here in cattle and orange grove country we have our work cut out for us, more so than in places like Broward and Palm Beach counties, where I used to live.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; But I was encouraged by the almost 100 people who showed up on this sunny Saturday afternoon in the Florida heartland...and it got me thinking...maybe we can really get 400,000 new Florida Obama voters by November.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; How, you may ask?</description>

            <title>Nineteen &#039;68 and the opportunity to take back our government.</title>
            <description>It has become quite aparent that the politicall establishment is reeling. The establishment feels threatened. In their atempt to implement their own personal spin upon the political movement which has come to fruition in the last year. The Republican party has nearly destroyed their own base. For the first time in the last 25 years the Christian Right is not a dead lock vote for the Republican party. We owe to the youth of our nation to make sure the Constitution is completly restored. President Bush has shown an absolute disregard for the laws of our nation. I know we can move away from the politics of devisivness which has scarred our image at home and abroad. We have an oportunity to show the world our dissatisfaction with the ideologs which have hijaked our nation. I do not believe our nation can survive 4 more years of Bush as promised by Senator McCain. I call upon all of those who have heard these same words and believe them whole heartedly to do everything within there power to elect a great man of charachter to President of the United States of America.</description>

            <title>What Now?</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Now that Senator Obama has become the&amp;nbsp;presumptive&amp;nbsp;nominee we all need to organize and find ways that we can all work together to build as much support in Florida as we can. The sooner we all get started here the better. The latest polls show that Obama is only 1 point behind McCain in Florida. Given the incredible nature of this campaign if all of us group together and move as many votes as possible towards Obama the greater the chances we have in the Fall.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you&#039;re interested in meeting to discuss events that we can organize please respond. The sooner we start the more voters we can reach. It&#039;s a great time to be an Obama supporter right now but it&#039;s also an incredibly important time. There are many misconceptions about the Senator that must dissolved before voters can realize that Obama&#039;s policies are a way toward a brighter future. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Message me if interested.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cole &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Big, big night!</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;The argument Senator Clinton can make for Super Delegates and voters in general to support her just got a lot tougher to make.&amp;nbsp; Barack Obama won big in North Carolina.&amp;nbsp; Barack Obama is very, very close in Indiana.&amp;nbsp; They&#039;re still waiting for the last few percent to report, but Senator Obama is within 17000 votes currently.&amp;nbsp; It would be great if he could pull off Indiana, but in the big scheme of things it doesn&#039;t matter too much.&amp;nbsp; The state&#039;s delegates will be split roughly even.&amp;nbsp; North Carolina&#039;s votes won&#039;t.&amp;nbsp; Senator Clinton has to make up the delegates and fast.&amp;nbsp; She could not afford to lose ground on Tuesday night.&amp;nbsp; She did.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After what has been the best two weeks of the Clinton campaign and the worst two weeks of the Obama campaign, Senator Obama has come out as the clear winner on Tuesday night.&amp;nbsp; After the last couple weeks I&#039;ve been waiting for some good news.&amp;nbsp; I got it on Tuesday night.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The only argument left for Senator Clinton is Michigan and Florida.&amp;nbsp; That idea has been resisted in the past, and the Supreme Court has already ruled that a political party can set it&#039;s own rules for nominating a candidate.&amp;nbsp; The Democratic party set the rules ahead of time.&amp;nbsp; Michigan and Florida violated those rules, and they knew the penalty for doing so.&amp;nbsp; If you change the rules now, next election more states will do the same thing.&amp;nbsp; These states will not hold another election.&amp;nbsp; Barack Obama is going to be the nominee.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Senator Clinton, please bow out gracefully and re-unite the party behind Senator Obama, the true voice for change not just in the Democratic party, but for the country as well.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Another Key Endorsement for Obama&#039;08</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Presidential candidate &lt;strong&gt;Barack Obama&lt;/strong&gt; received a key endorsement yesterday from &lt;strong&gt;Senator Robert Casey (D-PA)&lt;/strong&gt; that could potentially deliver key votes to the candidate in the April 22 Democratic primary in Pennsylvania.&amp;nbsp; He cited as reasons for the endorsement Obama&#039;s ability to bring the country together and the need for American politics to change its course. Obama is &amp;quot;uniquely qualified,&amp;quot; Casey said, to lead us along a different path and help the nation heal (Reuters, March 28, 2008). &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Casey&#039;s surprise endorsement could not have come at a better time.&amp;nbsp; Last month, Pennsylvania &lt;strong&gt;Governor Edward Rendell &lt;/strong&gt;ill-advisedly injected race as a reason why some white voters will not elect a black candidate. Rendell is a staunch supporter of &lt;strong&gt;Senator Hillary Clinton&lt;/strong&gt; who has been leading by double digits in that state.&amp;nbsp; While the statement made by Rendell is not inaccurate he missed a greater opportunity to present a fair, balanced and less divisive perspective that is more reflective of what we expect of a progressive-minded leader. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The fact is a growing number of Americans are moving beyond issues such as race and gender when assessing a candidates&#039; electability or ability to lead our nation.&amp;nbsp; This is evident by the diversity of the constituents supporting both the Obama and Clinton campaigns.&amp;nbsp; Both candidates represent the progress we have made as a nation.&amp;nbsp; I simply believe that one represents the future while the other is intrinsically linked to the politics of the past that we are now trying to overcome.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is my hope that we will begin to work toward advancing the concept of &amp;quot;A More Perfect Union&amp;quot; as&amp;nbsp; coined by the &lt;strong&gt;Founding Fathers&lt;/strong&gt; and addressed by Barack Obama in his historic speech on March 18, 2008 in Philadelphia.&amp;nbsp; I am proud that Sen. Casey was able to transcend race to endorse Obama because of his leadership qualities and electability.&amp;nbsp; Unlike Rendell, Casey is able to lead by example for the people of the state of Pennsylvania and articulate a vision for change shared by millions of Americans. &lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>3/18/08 Response to &quot;A More Perfect Union&quot;</title>
            <description>This morning Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack Obama gave a speech to address the nation about the controversial statements made by his former pastor (Rev. Jeremiah Wright) that have been recently looped into the circus that is known as mass media. However, the speech that Sen. Obama gave to the audience in Philadelphia this morning was about more than what divides us. His speech today delivered a message about what unites us. Through Sen. Obama&#039;s diverse upbringing he has experienced what has contributed to our racial divide by both black and white. In today&#039;s speech Sen. Obama also delivered a message of a hope for a greater nation. Anybody who thinks that we can solve this nation&#039;s greatest problems without uniting it&#039;s people is utilizing a defense mechanism known as the &amp;quot;denial of resposibility&amp;quot; in which they avoid personal responsibility by blaming one another to the point where nothing gets accomplished. This can be said about more than the issue of race. Gender equality can also only be achieved by men and women working together, rather than arguing to a point that polarizes opposing views. Unity is what the founders of this great nation accomplished in their escape from religious tyranny. For this reason the seal of the United States of America reads E Pluribus Unum, which is Latin for &amp;quot;Out of Many, One.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; This is a core value that is often forgotten in American politics. The use of swift boat tactics, mudslinging, and smear campaigns has tainted the way that this nation chooses its leaders. It is tough to say that Barack Obama&#039;s message of unity and integal campaign is anything less than refreshing. This man is the embodiment of the hope inside each and every one of us that we will overcome our differences and teach the world what it means to us to be American.</description>

            <title>Michigan and Florida</title>
            <description>My next opinion  comes in the form of what to do with Michigan and Florida.&amp;nbsp; I may have a  fairly special outlook on this since I lived most of my life in Michigan but  have lived the last 6.5 years in Florida.&amp;nbsp; The easiest way to understand  this is that everyone in the party voted to have the contests one way, then some  states decided they wanted to do it another way.&amp;nbsp; Every state, not just  Florida and Michigan,&amp;nbsp;thinks that they should have a more important role in  picking the candidates than other states.&amp;nbsp; They can pull out whatever  demographic statistics they need to show that their state &amp;quot;represents America&amp;quot;  better than other states.&amp;nbsp; Both of these states can make compelling  arguments for being important states and having strong influence on the choice  of candidates.&amp;nbsp; However, both of these states agreed to the rules before  the process started.&amp;nbsp; Both of these states were told what would happen if  they followed the course of action&amp;nbsp;that would move their primaries up  before an agreed upon date, and they both ignored the threats of the DNC.&amp;nbsp;  Now they are (especially Florida) trying to use strong-arm tactics to get their  votes to count.&amp;nbsp; They&#039;re threatening to&amp;nbsp;pass legislation not allowing  the Democratic candidate to appear on the ballot in Florida if their votes don&#039;t  count.&amp;nbsp; Whether this would be legal is up in the air, but nobody wants to  be fighting that public relations nightmare.&amp;nbsp; The truth is the elections  that took place in Michigan were a complete farce.&amp;nbsp; The truth is that the  elections that took place in Florida weren&#039;t much better.&amp;nbsp; The only way you  can have an election is to allow all candidates to campaign in the states that  are voting.&amp;nbsp; Otherwise you are only having a name-recognition  contest.&amp;nbsp; If the votes don&#039;t count, blame the states, not the DNC.&amp;nbsp;  Probably both states will eventually get their way and we&#039;ll find a way to allow  voters to vote again.&amp;nbsp; However, the DNC shouldn&#039;t be stuck with the  bill.&amp;nbsp; The states were the ones that chose to break the rules, not the  DNC.&amp;nbsp; The votes in Florida &amp;quot;as is&amp;quot; can not count.&amp;nbsp; We were told that  the votes would not count, so many of us stayed home and didn&#039;t vote, including  myself.&amp;nbsp; Had the votes counted, I would have made my way over to the  polling place and voted.&amp;nbsp; When Obama has the ability to campaign in  Florida, he&#039;ll do well.&amp;nbsp; Michigan too.&amp;nbsp; But as is, voters will be  disenfranchised if the votes &amp;quot;as is&amp;quot; count, not if the votes don&#039;t count.&amp;nbsp;  Sorry Florida and Michigan.&amp;nbsp; You got yourselves into this mess.&amp;nbsp; YOU  get yourselves out of it.</description>

            <title>From the Pulpit:  What is Treasonous?</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Frank Schaeffer provides a very interesting comparison&amp;nbsp;Obama&#039;s Minister&#039;s sermons, and&amp;nbsp;what the&amp;nbsp;Christian Right says every&amp;nbsp;Sunday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.huffingtonpost.com/frank-schaeffer/obamas-minister-committe_b_91774.html&quot;&gt;http://www.huffingtonpost.com/frank-schaeffer/obamas-minister-committe_b_91774.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Obama&#039;s Minister Committed &amp;quot;Treason&amp;quot; But When My Father Said the Same Thing He Was a Republican Hero&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From his article: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dad and I were amongst the founders of the Religious right. In the 1970s and 1980s, while Dad and I crisscrossed America denouncing our nation&#039;s sins instead of getting in trouble we became darlings of the Republican Party. (This was while I was my father&#039;s sidekick before I dropped out of the evangelical movement altogether.) We were rewarded for our &amp;quot;stand&amp;quot; by people such as Congressman Jack Kemp, the Fords, Reagan and the Bush family. The top Republican leadership depended on preachers and agitators like us to energize their rank and file. No one called us un-American. &lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Still good</title>
            <description>Wyoming was a  win.&amp;nbsp; Mississippi was a win.&amp;nbsp; We&#039;re back in control of the race  again, despite the overblown gains by Senator Clinton a couple Tuesdays  ago (which ended up being a net gain of 4 delegates).&amp;nbsp; They got the big  states, while we got an almost equal number of delegates from all states  combines.&amp;nbsp; A good sports analogy would be that they got two ally-oop slam  dunks that excited the crowd and we got 4 free throws.&amp;nbsp; Both are 4 points,  just one may be more exciting than the other.&amp;nbsp;The more this drags out, the  better our chances of victory are over our Democratic opponent.&amp;nbsp; The clock  is running out for them.&amp;nbsp; The math doesn&#039;t add up for them.&amp;nbsp; The math  looks very good for Senator Obama.&amp;nbsp; He&#039;s got a delegate lead that pretty  much can&#039;t be undone without a collapse, and I think that his supporters won&#039;t  let that happen.&amp;nbsp; The total number of delegates available to be won is  rapidly dwindling.&amp;nbsp; The focus of the rest of the campaign in the media will  be Pennsylvania.&amp;nbsp; However, there are other states and territories,  including a delegate rich state in North Carolina.&amp;nbsp; Each delegate counts as  one &amp;quot;vote&amp;quot; at the national convention.&amp;nbsp; One delegate from Mississippi,  Wyoming, Utah, South Carolina, and Iowa have the same power as one delegate from  Ohio and Texas.&amp;nbsp; The math is pretty inevitable.&amp;nbsp; It&#039;s just a matter of  when, not if, and if it will happen in time to run a successful one-front  campaign against Senator John McCain on the Republican side.  &lt;br /&gt;</description>

            <title>Floridians Must Send a Mesage to the Country</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;I have never been more fired up and ready to go as I am today.&amp;nbsp; I am compelled to respond to Governor Christ&#039;s latent and politically motivated statments on &amp;quot;behalf&amp;quot; of Floridian voters to try to get the delegates seated as they are now.&amp;nbsp; I need to know if there are efforts being made to March on the state capitol and create a media event to show the public the true reason Floridians are not being represented is because of our elected officials, NOT because of the DNC.&amp;nbsp; We need to make it clear there are many, many voters who did not vote because they were told it did not count--and to seat the delegates now disenfranchises those voters.&amp;nbsp; I believe we as Floridians need to do this as quickly as possible; and would like to know if plans are being made or who would like to help make this happen.&amp;nbsp; I am not familiar with how connected we are as Floridian supporters; but it seems like we are scattered; so please if you are not interested please forward your group to see if there are others who may be.&amp;nbsp; The more people we can get to do this event the&amp;nbsp;stronger of a signal it will be to those elected officials and to Senator Clinton that we will not sit idly by and allow our&amp;nbsp;citizens to&amp;nbsp;be victimized by corrupted politics.&amp;nbsp;Please contact me on this site or at &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:kjabu@hotmail.com&quot;&gt;kjabu@hotmail.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>The Kitchen Sink</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;We knew we&#039;d get the kitchen sink from the opposing campaign.&amp;nbsp; We knew we&#039;d get her best shot.&amp;nbsp; We hoped however that within the democratic party things wouldn&#039;t get ugly with negative attacks.&amp;nbsp; That didn&#039;t happen, and now instead of moving on toward a national confrontation with John McCain, we&#039;re stuck having to push through our own party to just get the nomination.&amp;nbsp; The longer we&#039;re battling each other, the less the chances of victory in November are for whoever emerges.&amp;nbsp; Another bad thing is that based on the results, especially the ones in Ohio, negative attack ads work.&amp;nbsp; Nobody likes them.&amp;nbsp; Voters say they&#039;re turned off by them.&amp;nbsp; But all statistics show that they work.&amp;nbsp; We&#039;re going to get more of them, and maybe we&#039;ll have to even do some attacking ourselves, which is something I hoped to avoid with a positive campaign. Just defending yourself isn&#039;t enough anymore, and usually the losers in a political election are the ones who tried to take the high road no matter what and didn&#039;t hit back. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I think that an emphasis needs to be put on electibility from this point forward.&amp;nbsp; I live, work, and worship with people that hate Hillary Clinton.&amp;nbsp; While Republicans will strongly disagree with some of Barack Obama&#039;s policies, they don&#039;t have a built-in hatred for the man.&amp;nbsp; They won&#039;t be motivated to go cast a vote against him.&amp;nbsp; They will be motivated to cast a vote against Senator Clinton.&amp;nbsp; When Obama wins the nomination (delegate count still looks like this is by far more likely than not likely) they will have to be motivated to cast a vote FOR John McCain instead of against somebody.&amp;nbsp; McCain isn&#039;t well liked among many influential people on the right.&amp;nbsp; While certainly almost all Republicans that go to the polls will vote for McCain, they may not show up in numbers as large as past years.&amp;nbsp; If just 1 in 40 voters that voted Republican last cycle either doesn&#039;t vote or votes for Obama or votes for Nader or another third party candidate, that&#039;s a win for Obama in November.&amp;nbsp; If Clinton is on the ballot, that&#039;s another reason for Republicans to show up at the polls.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On a night where we kind of have to grasp for good news, remember that Senator Clinton was ahead by 20 points in Ohio and Texas two weeks ago.&amp;nbsp; She needed to win both those states by about those margins to gain enough ground on Senator Obama.&amp;nbsp; She won Ohio by a smaller margin.&amp;nbsp; They&#039;re still counting votes in Texas, but even if she does squeak out the popular vote in Texas, Barack Obama will still take more delegates from the state because of the two-tiered system to award delegates in Texas.&amp;nbsp; Essentially all Barack Obama has to do is hold even, not get blown out in Pennsylvania next month, and he&#039;s the nominee.&amp;nbsp; Mississippi votes in a week.&amp;nbsp; Obama will win that state in a landslide.&amp;nbsp; Wyoming votes in 4 days.&amp;nbsp; I&#039;m unsure what the polls show there.&amp;nbsp; We didn&#039;t get the knockout punch we were hoping for.&amp;nbsp; We&#039;re disappointed in that.&amp;nbsp; But what I believe is going to happen, once all the votes from March 4th are counted, is that as far as delegates go it will be practically a tie.&amp;nbsp; Clinton will take more delegates from Ohio and Rhode Island, while Obama will take more delegates from Texas and Vermont.&amp;nbsp; If there are ties all the way to the convention, we win.&amp;nbsp; Let&#039;s hope it&#039;s decided well before then, because right now we&#039;re doing all the dirty work for the Republicans and they don&#039;t have to pay a dime for it. &lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>we&#039;re not the sheep</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;I remember the sadness I felt watching the two towers burn in New York City and looking at my daughter, exactly 2 months old at the time, and realizing that the world she would grow up in would not be the same as the one I had grown up in.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; I remember making the argument to friends and co-workers that Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11, and I remember their disbelief that someone could even dare think that. It was hard to tell whether their lack of reasoning was due to racism, religious intolerance, anger, or a simple lack of education on the subject. The pieces did not fit. It seemed obvious to me, but this fell mostly on deaf ears. Somehow Saddam Hussein being a &amp;quot;bad guy&amp;quot; (no argument here) was given as a good enough reason to be there. Well it was once the WMD and connection to 9-11 arguments fell flat anyway.&amp;nbsp; Barack Obama saw this and pointed it out, but even his voice was given little notice at that time.&amp;nbsp; Stories keep changing.&amp;nbsp; Are we in Iraq because they have WMD still?&amp;nbsp; Wait, now we&#039;re spreading democracy and protecting the democratic process.&amp;nbsp; The story changes.&amp;nbsp; If our mission truly is accomplished Mr. President, how come we keep sending more troops instead of less?&amp;nbsp; Barack Obama saw through this war from the beginning at a point when most of his fellow senators did not.&amp;nbsp; That&#039;s the guy I want answering the phone in a crisis situation. &lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Their is Power Wonder Working Power when we Pray!</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I believe in the Power of Prayer!&amp;nbsp; Their is Power Wonder Working Power when we Pray together!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here is a Prayer from the Obama Prayer Team and I quote!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Their is a role for all of us who believe in our power to change america. Many of us are making telephone call to other states, some are waving signs on city streets all across America, some are even registering new and old voters!&amp;nbsp; Some are working untiringly to GOTV on March 4th!&amp;nbsp; Many have traveled from their homes toother states to work door to door to get the message out!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; While many of us who believe in a God who knows no failure, who ultimately has the power to change lives.&amp;nbsp; I believe in the power of Prayer!&amp;nbsp; Prayer can change things in this great land of ours. So here is a prayer from the Obama Prayer Team!&amp;nbsp; We are working feverishly, working untiringly and working to chage America! We pray for, and I quote:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Dear Family, Pondering on March 4 as the D-Day for Senator Clinton&#039;s election, I recalled a sermon by my pastor in 2005. He said that not only does God transcend time, but He is in time. He used complex theology to explain what he meant by that, but we just did not get it. He simplified it by saying that just as God is present in our today. So He is in our future waiting for us to arrive. God is in March 4 waiting for all of us to arrive. God is in inauguration day waiting for us to get there. We can be sure of our destiny because God is there waiting for us. He is ahead of us arranging things in our favor. Meditating on March 4, the Spirit ministered that message to me, God is in March 4 waiting for Barack Obama and this Movement for Change to arrive. The Almighty has arranged all things in favour of Barack Obama. All we have to do is show up on March 4 and see the wonders of His work. Halleluiah. What kind of result do we want on March 4? I want a landslide for Barack Obama. I want God to move in a supernatural way and show His mighty. So, I have been led to pray along these lines, even as I continue waiting on God. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PRAYER POINTS FOR MARCH 4&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Thanksgiving and Praise&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;1.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Our Lord and our King, we bless your Holy Name, Jehovah. We adore your majesty. We lift your Name on high. Beside you, o Lord, there is no other God. You are most excellent. Most beautiful. Perfect God. Wonderful Father.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; A year ago, many would have laughed away the suggestion of Barack Obama&#039;s position today in the race. You, Lord, the God of wonder have made it possible. You have extended your love and your grace to Barack Obama, his family, his campaign staff. You have shown yourself as a miracle working God. You have proved yourself as a God who does not ask man for his opinion. You go just do what you have to do. You share your glory with no one. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Awesome God. Blessed Savior. Good Shepherd. Rock of our salvation. Prince of Peace. King of Kings. The Rose of Sharon. Lion of the tribe of Judah. The Protector of Israel. You are worthy of our praise. You deserve our worship.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;The Battle&amp;nbsp; &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;1.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Lord, you are Master of the Universe. You are the true Excellence of Execution. You are an Always-on-Time God. You Lord, have never made a mistake. You can never make a mistake.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; You are so awesome. Captain of the Army of Host. You are a Mighty Man in Battle. We call on you at this time to rise up and let the enemies of your will be scattered. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The states of Texas, Ohio, Vermont, and Rhode Island are up on Tuesday. Lord we thank you for the early polls, and the victories that you have already given us. We thank you for Tuesday, the D-Day. Lord, we have confidence in you, the Master of the D-Day battle. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; You are the one who held up the sun for the children of Israel to fight their enemies to and end. Hold up the political sun for Obama on March 4. Let this Movement of Change claim total victory on that day. Make our enemies completely irrelevant in the race. Righteous Judge, we call on you at this time to prove yourself on our behalf. Show that you are the God that sees all things and knows all things.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We know that you are already in March 4, 2008, working in Barack Obama&#039;s favor. You are the God that transcends time. Ancient of Days, we bless you. You are already in March 4, giving Barack Obama a landslide victory and sealing the mouth of the enemy. Finally putting an end to the evil darts of the enemy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;6.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We neutralize the arrows of the enemy thrown at Barack Obama. In any form that it may come, attacks on his personality, attacks on his past, attacks on his record, attacks on his family, attacks on his voting history, attacks on his campaign staff, attacks on the Movement for Change. Lord, we neutralize them all.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;7.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We declare them powerless and of no effect. We turn the weapons of the enemy against them. We declare that the more they attack, the worse they look in the public eye. The more they attack, the more their own attackers will rise against them. They will come against Barack Obama and his campaign in one way, and they will flee in seven ways. According to your Word, we declare that the all plans contrary to God&#039;s will in Barack Obama&#039;s life terminated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;8.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; All imaginations of men that are meant to bring Barack Obama to disrepute, we eliminate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Prayer against Rigging &amp;amp; Corruption &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;1&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Lord, you said in your word that the whole earth is yours. The hearts of the kings are in your hand and your turn them to which every direction you will. You said that a bribe circumvents righteous judgment and distorts the truth. Lord, you hate bribery. You hate unjust weights. You hate injustice. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We speak against rigging and corruption in this election. We arrest any heart that wishes to accept a bribe and circumvent God&#039;s will in Texas, Ohio, Vermont, and Rhode Island. We direct them to stand for the cause of righteousness and justice. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We fill all the key positions with people who have the fear of God in their hearts. People of integrity. People who are submission to God&#039;s will.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We banish all evil gangs from this election and paralyze their effects. We frustrate all their plans and declare confusion and chaos in their camps. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We declare that the right result will be declared on March 4 to the glory of God.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Claiming the Land&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; 1.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Lord, we lift up the land of Texas unto you. We say Lord, you created Texas. And you rule over Texas. The people of Texas and their riches belong to you. We cast down every stronghold over the land of Texas. We ask for the sweep of your spirit across the land of Texas. We claim every man, woman, and child for your kingdom. We declare that the people of Texas will come out and make their voices heard as they support this Movement of Change. Open up their hearts to see that this Movement is both real and of you. Beyond being part of this Movement of Change, we declare liberty in the land of Texas. We declare prosperity for its people. We drive away fear from their hearts and restore hope. We chase away every darkness in the land as we call on the Blood of Jesus for the land of Texas. We say that everything that does not give you glory in Texas be removed from the land. We speak peace, we speak pro sperity, we speak liberty to the land of Texas. We install Light in the land.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We should pray a similar prayer for Ohio touching the issues of Ohio as the Spirit leads. Same for Vermont and Rhode Island. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Any of us in these states should walk bare feet on the earth claiming the land for Jesus and declaring victory for Barack Obama. The land where you stand is a point of contact for the whole population of the state. The Word of God says, wherever we set our feet, that land He will give us possession of.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;The Barack Obama Campaign&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;1.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We ask for peace, wisdom, and strength on Barack Obama&#039;s campaign. We ask for a new anointing on Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Malia Obama, and Sasha Obama. We cover the Obama family and all people working on this campaign with the blood of Jesus. Lord, build a hedge around them. A hedge that cannot be broken.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We ask for uncommon favor. We ask that Barack Obama will find unusual favor wherever he goes. Let the words that come out of his mouth speak to the hearts of the people. Let people see the light of God through Barack Obama. Since, Barack has found favor with you, O Lord, we declare that he will find favor with men.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Fill Barack Obama with wisdom. Wisdom from above. In these last days, fend off all attacks of the enemy in whatever form it comes, knock of their darts and return them to sender. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Provide the men and women working for this Movement for Change with amazing grace, unity, wisdom, and uncommon skill.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Fill the campaign with your Spirit. Cover everyone working on this campaign, contributing to this campaign, volunteering to work on this movement of change with your love. Meet them at the point of their needs. Let them find comfort in you. Because they have obeyed your voice, answer them when they call on you, Father. Fill their mouths with testimonies of your goodness. Fill them with peace that only you can give. Let them see Immanuel, and know that God is with us.Blessed be your Holy Name. We pray in the name of your Son, Jesus.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Sat, Mar 1, 2008 at 11:28 PM, Aziza Uko &amp;lt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:azizauko@gmail.com&quot; title=&quot;mailto:azizauko@gmail.com&quot;&gt;azizauko@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&amp;gt; wrote:&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>There is a Role for all us who Believe in our Power to Change America</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Their is a role for all of us who believe in our power to change america. Many of us are making telephone call to other states, some are waving signs on city streets all across America, some are even registering new and old voters!&amp;nbsp; Some are working untiringly to GOTV on March 4th!&amp;nbsp; Many have traveled from their homes toother states to work door to door to get the message out!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; While many of us who believe in a God who knows no failure, who ultimately has the power to change lives.&amp;nbsp; I believe in the power of Prayer!&amp;nbsp; Prayer can change things in this great land of ours. So here is a prayer from the Obama Prayer Team!&amp;nbsp; We are working feverishly, working untiringly and working to chage America! We pray for, and I quote:&lt;/p&gt;&amp;quot;Dear Family,Pondering on March 4 as the D-Day for Senator Clinton&#039;s election, I recalled a sermon by my pastor in 2005. He said that not only does God transcend time, but He is in time. He used complex theology to explain what he meant by that, but we just did not get it. He simplified it by saying that just as God is present in our today. So He is in our future waiting for us to arrive. God is in March 4 waiting for all of us to arrive. God is in inauguration day waiting for us to get there. We can be sure of our destiny because God is there waiting for us. He is ahead of us arranging things in our favor. Meditating on March 4, the Spirit ministered that message to me, God is in March 4 waiting for Barack Obama and this Movement for Change to arrive. The Almighty has arranged all things in favour of Barack Obama. All we have to do is show up on March 4 and see the wonders of His work. Halleluiah. What kind of result do we want on March 4? I want a landslide for Barack Obama. I want God to move in a supernatural way and show His mighty. So, I have been led to pray along these lines, even as I continue waiting on God. &lt;strong&gt;PRAYER POINTS FOR MARCH 4&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Thanksgiving and Praise&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;1.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Our Lord and our King, we bless your Holy Name, Jehovah. We adore your majesty. We lift your Name on high. Beside you, o Lord, there is no other God. You are most excellent. Most beautiful. Perfect God. Wonderful Father.2.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; A year ago, many would have laughed away the suggestion of Barack Obama&#039;s position today in the race. You, Lord, the God of wonder have made it possible. You have extended your love and your grace to Barack Obama, his family, his campaign staff. You have shown yourself as a miracle working God. You have proved yourself as a God who does not ask man for his opinion. You go just do what you have to do. You share your glory with no one. 3.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Awesome God. Blessed Savior. Good Shepherd. Rock of our salvation. Prince of Peace. King of Kings. The Rose of Sharon. Lion of the tribe of Judah. The Protector of Israel. You are worthy of our praise. You deserve our worship.&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;The Battle&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;1.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Lord, you are Master of the Universe. You are the true Excellence of Execution. You are an Always-on-Time God. You Lord, have never made a mistake. You can never make a mistake.2.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; You are so awesome. Captain of the Army of Host. You are a Mighty Man in Battle. We call on you at this time to rise up and let the enemies of your will be scattered. 3.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The states of Texas, Ohio, Vermont, and Rhode Island are up on Tuesday. Lord we thank you for the early polls, and the victories that you have already given us. We thank you for Tuesday, the D-Day. Lord, we have confidence in you, the Master of the D-Day battle. 4.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; You are the one who held up the sun for the children of Israel to fight their enemies to and end. Hold up the political sun for Obama on March 4. Let this Movement of Change claim total victory on that day. Make our enemies completely irrelevant in the race. Righteous Judge, we call on you at this time to prove yourself on our behalf. Show that you are the God that sees all things and knows all things.5.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We know that you are already in March 4, 2008, working in Barack Obama&#039;s favor. You are the God that transcends time. Ancient of Days, we bless you. You are already in March 4, giving Barack Obama a landslide victory and sealing the mouth of the enemy. Finally putting an end to the evil darts of the enemy.6.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We neutralize the arrows of the enemy thrown at Barack Obama. In any form that it may come, attacks on his personality, attacks on his past, attacks on his record, attacks on his family, attacks on his voting history, attacks on his campaign staff, attacks on the Movement for Change. Lord, we neutralize them all.7.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We declare them powerless and of no effect. We turn the weapons of the enemy against them. We declare that the more they attack, the worse they look in the public eye. The more they attack, the more their own attackers will rise against them. They will come against Barack Obama and his campaign in one way, and they will flee in seven ways. According to your Word, we declare that the all plans contrary to God&#039;s will in Barack Obama&#039;s life terminated.8.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; All imaginations of men that are meant to bring Barack Obama to disrepute, we eliminate.&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Prayer against Rigging &amp;amp; Corruption&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;1.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Lord, you said in your word that the whole earth is yours. The hearts of the kings are in your hand and your turn them to which every direction you will. You said that a bribe circumvents righteous judgment and distorts the truth. Lord, you hate bribery. You hate unjust weights. You hate injustice. 2.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We speak against rigging and corruption in this election. We arrest any heart that wishes to accept a bribe and circumvent God&#039;s will in Texas, Ohio, Vermont, and Rhode Island. We direct them to stand for the cause of righteousness and justice. 3.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We fill all the key positions with people who have the fear of God in their hearts. People of integrity. People who are submission to God&#039;s will.4.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We banish all evil gangs from this election and paralyze their effects. We frustrate all their plans and declare confusion and chaos in their camps. 5.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We declare that the right result will be declared on March 4 to the glory of God.&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Claiming the Land&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; 1.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Lord, we lift up the land of Texas unto you. We say Lord, you created Texas. And you rule over Texas. The people of Texas and their riches belong to you. We cast down every stronghold over the land of Texas.

            <description>&lt;p&gt;Obama is quickly catching up in Ohio and has pulled even in Texas.&amp;nbsp; All he had to do delegate wise was be close in these states.&amp;nbsp; I think he&#039;s going to win Texas and be close in Ohio.&amp;nbsp; If he does that, he&#039;s all but locked up the nomination.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lately my thoughts have been turning on who to bring in as a VP.&amp;nbsp; Strategy typically dictates that you bring in someone who can fit into more than one of the following categories: Someone who&#039;s political strengths complement the nominee&#039;s perceived weaknesses, a popular party member from a swing state, someone of a different personal demographic (race/faith/gender/age), someone from a different part of the country than the nominee, someone with a military background (if the nominee doesn&#039;t have one), someone popular with the ability to fund-raise, someone strong enough to do the dirty work (attack-dog) for the nominee, and someone that wouldn&#039;t scare voters if he/she were to take over the Presidency.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Those categories are in no particular order.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Names I&#039;ve heard include:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Just Words!&amp;nbsp; Hillary is off the chain as she is taking her losses personal. Off the Chain, and Off the Map!&amp;nbsp; So we are moving on and moving on up as&amp;nbsp;Hillary Moves off the Stage and Off of the Map!&amp;nbsp; Hillary has left the National Stage,&amp;nbsp;Building, State and Map! Back to the U. S.

            <title>Yes We Can, Wisconsin!</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Senator Obama continues his winning streak!&amp;nbsp;He has defeated Senator&amp;nbsp;Clinton in the Wisconsin Democratic Primary. His&amp;nbsp;highest support came from Independent voters, the same&amp;nbsp;voting block that McCain likes to claim. In Wisconsin&#039;s open Primary, where Independents can vote in either Primary, this was a key contest looking forward to November. The results with 77% of the vote already in:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Obama: 478,643&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;McCain: 168,880&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;March 4th may&amp;nbsp;decide the Democratic nomination when voters in Ohio and Texas go to the polls. Let&#039;s get organized and let&#039;s make some calls to these voters and help them&amp;nbsp;understand what we already know.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yes We Can!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dave&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>We the People Have Won--State After State!</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Yes We Can! Two years ago, we thought this was impossible, however what was thought of to be impossible has now become possible! It is possible because &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;We the People, have Won State after State!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; We are motivated to go out and make Real Change in our Country! There are those who oppose Change&amp;nbsp;and their desire to continue to oppress us, We the People!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We are on the move, the momentum is moving off the charts.&amp;nbsp;Millions have cast their VOTE for Change has faced the challenge.&amp;nbsp; We are on the move now, Millions have yet to cast their VOTE!&amp;nbsp; The Voice of We the People should be heard!&amp;nbsp; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;We the People have Won State after State!&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; We dare not to&amp;nbsp;offer&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;the messenger to change his message&amp;nbsp;of Change!&amp;nbsp; The Choice has been ours (We the People) we have made our Choice! The Voice of we the people should be heard and respected!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We are moving onward, north, south, east and west as the momentum is moving off the charts!&amp;nbsp; Now even now Obamaians (Republicians) are beginning to join our movement of Choice and Change!&amp;nbsp; We choose Change because the rich is becoming richer and the poor is becoming poorer, those in the middle is falling down the tubes (It is the Economy). They ask Change Why? I will tell you why, the War in Iraq is bankrupting our Nation. Billions upon Billions of dollars are being lost, not to mention the daily lost of life for an unjust war.&amp;nbsp; Our future is threathen, A National Emergency should be declared, instead we print more money and riase the debt ceiling, and more innocent lives are being lost everyday in an unjust war.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; If real Change is to occur in America, we need an honest, forthright individual like Senator Obama who cares about people and who have fought his entire life for the poor and near poor.&amp;nbsp; So now We the People, have Won State after State. So what must we do, we must continue the momentum, working in the fields--grassroots efforts, making telephone calls, writing letters, sharing with our Friends, Relatives, Associates and Neighbors in an all our effort to make certain that Senator Obama is elected and inaugurated on January 20, 2009 as President of the United States of America!&amp;nbsp; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;We the People have Won--State after State!&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>There is nothing like VICTORY!</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; As we move to and fro, moving sometime slowly and sometimes swiftly albeit, there is nothing like VICTORY! Who would have ever thought&amp;nbsp; year ago that theRIGHT time is now. We have been through so much as a people and as a Country, there is nothing (NO THING) like VICTORY! Who would have ever thought it so....&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; It is so... Senator Obama is working on behalf of all of us... He is giving of himself day and night to be the voice those who have been denied for ever so long. He is our voice and ohhhh what an effective voice he is.&amp;nbsp;There is nothing (NO THING) like VICTORY!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I have been so&amp;nbsp;immersed with Super Tuesday, and only to awake to Super Wednesday as&amp;nbsp;well! To know that Senator Obama made a sweep of 13 states all across America. It was almost unbelieveable, but the reality of the matter we won, the people, we the people were heard loud and clear over the pundits, and those pronostigators of doom and gloom.&amp;nbsp;There is nothing (NO THING) like VICTORY!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We are on the move now, Ain&#039;t No Stopping Us Now!&amp;nbsp; Our time has come to move from the back of the line to the front of the line, from&amp;nbsp;our&amp;nbsp;House to the White House with Senator Obama who will be our VOICE! There is nothing (NO THING) like VICTORY!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; It is the thrill of Victory! It is like a bright light shining in the dark giving hope to a people who had become tired and weary, wounded by tradition. All of a sudden Victory comes running over the horizon like a beacon light shining and giving the light of hope to Millions who thought that this could not be happening.&amp;nbsp; Well &amp;quot;Our Time Has Come&amp;quot; and We Can Do This... together. There is nothing (NO THING) like VICTORY! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>What We Believe</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Obama represents something my generation has never seen before.&amp;nbsp; We believe Obama is a voice and a character reminiscent of the giants gunned down in the sixties: JFK, MLK, and Bobby.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With great hope, comes the potential for great disillusionment.&amp;nbsp; Upon this man, we place our hopes and dreams.&amp;nbsp; Should Obama win the nomination and then the Presidency, it will be difficult for him to measure up to our aspirations.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Of Obama&#039;s chief rival: Hillary represents that which we have had before.&amp;nbsp; At the time, I did not recognize how good we had it under her husband, William Jefferson Clinton.&amp;nbsp; At the time, I still believed what the Republicans were saying.&amp;nbsp; Looking back on Bill Clinton&#039;s tenure, I recognize an extremely competent politician who did much to benefit our country, and I wish I had given him my vote. &lt;br /&gt;Few expect as much of Hillary as we expect of Obama.&amp;nbsp; Hillary&#039;s followers do not expect her to unite the country, to inspire, or to repair the polarization and fractures that have riven our county.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For many of us, when we look at Hillary, we simply expect competence and a strong figure who will stand up to the Republicans.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;Thus, it should be easier for Hillary to meet our expectations, because they are lower. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, it comes to a gamble, with Hillary representing the &amp;quot;safe bet&amp;quot;, and Obama something considerably more, or considerably less.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can call me naive or delusional.&amp;nbsp; You may ask &amp;quot;Where are your brains?&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; But I feel like gambling.&amp;nbsp; I want the jackpot.&amp;nbsp; I want Obama. &lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>This Article Should Influence Anyone With an Open Mind</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;I subscribe to: the Atlantic Monthly, The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, US New &amp;amp; World Report, Oxford American, The Trapper &amp;amp; Predator Caller, The Journal of Forestry, and several other wildlife and forestry oriented magazines and newsletters.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I read a lot.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Atlantic Monthly consistently has some of the best written, insightful-articles in our current literature.&amp;nbsp; I encourage you to read this article from TheAtlantic.com &amp;quot;Goodbye to All That&amp;quot;. It explains the positives and negatives or our candidates. If you take the time to read it, you will recognize that silly little sound-bites do nothing to advance our real understanding of who we are supporting and why we are supporting them.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is the type of article that will influence anybody with an open mind.&amp;nbsp; I know it won&#039;t convince Hillary, or Edwards, or Biden supporters to shift their vote, but is should help them to understand why many of us place our hopes with Obama. &amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200712/obama&quot;&gt;http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200712/obama&lt;/a&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By Andrew Sullivan&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Is Iraq Vietnam? Who really won in 2000? Which side are you on in the culture wars? These questions have divided the Baby Boomers and distorted our politics. One candidate could transcend them.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>What does new poll suggest?</title>
            <description>&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;In the recent The Reuters/Zogby poll of 991 potential voters, some interesting facts came out. When you squash the actual numbers, instead of looking at the percentages, you can see that Obama is not really that far behind. &lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;It is also evident that of the 991 people polled, more than half don&amp;rsquo;t frequent popular websites like MySPace and YouTube. This could lead us to believe that even though Barack Obama has a stronghold on the internet campaign, his commercial name and obviously greater worthiness of the presidency is not being broadcast to the television viewing public. The lack of response to MySpace and YouTube could also lead us to believe that the demographic that the Reuters/Zogby poll is targeting, is out of the age group of the average everyday internet user. &lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Recognizing that 624 (63%) of those polled are &amp;ldquo;very or fairly confident their children will have a better life than they do&amp;rdquo; tells me that of those 196 that would vote for Hillary today still don&amp;rsquo;t have much confidence she will do a much better job than Bush has.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;If we can inform the 49 unsure voters in every thousand why they should vote for Obama, and bring the 38 from every thousand from Edwards (after Obama announces him as his running-mate) It is easy to say that Barack Obama will be the United States&amp;rsquo; next president. &lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;In which primary will you be voting - Democratic or Republican?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;426 - Democratic&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;377 - Republican&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;

class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;9 - Joe Biden&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;196 - Hillary Clinton&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;

            <title>The Media Machine... Is It Working?</title>
            <description>&amp;nbsp;I admit it... It is somewhat depressing to hear news reports on the radio, and read headlines all across the net about Clinton&#039;s lead, now even in Iowa. There have been many blog postings about trusting Barack&#039;s capmaign leaders, but it is so easy to fall victim to the media. &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; As much of a hardcore believer I am in Obama, it is still effecting me, so what about the people that haven&#039;t recognized him as the next president yet? What about the people that are going to vote for the sake of who the media tells them is winning so they don&#039;t &amp;quot;throw their vote away&amp;quot;. I realize this is a new avenue for me to go down. I have never been politically involved in a primary before, and my involvement doesn&#039;t necessarily consist of anything more than telling as many people as I can about Barack Obama. But, this is a time that I am fearful. I know it is early, and I know her early lead can turn into an early devastation because it gives more time for neagative ads and more of her political history to come up and haunt her.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; Barack has been quoted that he probably would not run for president again because Michelle wouldn&#039;t let him &amp;lt;LOL&amp;gt; and I can&#039;t help but imagine that this man will change our future for the better, with&amp;nbsp;the best&amp;nbsp;chances than anyone for success.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; To anyone else out there that has a bit of doubt I want to say... hang in there! Don&#039;t believe the hype on Hillary. The media machine is just waiting to chew her up and spit her out. MUCH BETTER HER THAN BARACK!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>The Difference Between my Truck &amp; Fred Thompson&#039;s Truck</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Fred Thompson is the prototypical Republican Politician.&amp;nbsp; His shtick: portray himself as a good ol&#039; country boy, driving a good ol&#039; red pickup truck.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let&#039;s look at the similarities and differences between our red pickup-trucks.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;Similarities:&amp;nbsp; Both trucks are red and are several years old.&amp;nbsp; I don&#039;t have a picture of Fred&#039;s truck, but here is picture of mine: &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;[IMG]http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o94/hogkillere2006/SideViewofTruck.jpg[/IMG]&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://photobucket.com/&quot;&gt;http://photobucket.com&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot; target=&amp;quot;_blank&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;img src=&amp;quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o94/hogkillere2006/SideViewofTruck.jpg&quot;&gt;http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o94/hogkillere2006/SideViewofTruck.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot; border=&amp;quot;0&amp;quot; alt=&amp;quot;Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Difference #1:&amp;nbsp; Fred Thompson leased his truck so he could pretend to be a &amp;quot;good ol&#039; country boy&amp;quot; when running for a Tennessee Senate Seat in 1994, when he was actually the consummate DC insider/lobbyist. After decades as a lawyer/lobbyist he completely repackaged himself.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;I bought my truck in 1996 and have put on about 160,000 miles in the mean time.&amp;nbsp; I bought this truck because I NEED A TRUCK.&amp;nbsp; I am not pretending that I grew up on a farm.&amp;nbsp; I DID grow up on a farm.&amp;nbsp; I work as a forester/researcher.&amp;nbsp; My truck goes in the woods everyday.&amp;nbsp; My truck has carried: firewood, chainsaws, coon-hounds, and enough deer, pig, beaver, coon, rabbit, and squirrel carcasses to fill a barn.&amp;nbsp; &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;Difference #2:&amp;nbsp; Fred Thompson&#039;s truck probably doesn&#039;t have an &amp;quot;Obama 08&amp;quot; bumper sticker.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;[IMG]http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o94/hogkillere2006/Obama08.jpg[/IMG]&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://photobucket.com/&quot;&gt;http://photobucket.com&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot; target=&amp;quot;_blank&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;img src=&amp;quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o94/hogkillere2006/LongleafObama.jpg&quot;&gt;http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o94/hogkillere2006/LongleafObama.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot; border=&amp;quot;0&amp;quot; alt=&amp;quot;Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;Difference #3:&amp;nbsp; I am still driving my truck!&amp;nbsp; But to be fair, Fred is still pretending to be something and someone he isn&#039;t.&amp;nbsp; Fred&#039;s red truck is now reportedly parked behind his mother&#039;s house in Tennessee.&amp;nbsp; He wants to park it at the White House, but we may have something to say about that parking space.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
