Hi Everybody,
On this blog i will go to talk about what's the black hattitude for me, Not only a skin colour, it is a state of mind, a philosophy of life.For that purpose, several musical currents were born, as these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBlF9UhcGso It is also the fact to share, to be opened without reserve nor a priori to discover new persons, learn of them, an exchange in 2 directions that can only be beneficial in all.
Salut tout le monde,
Sur ce blog, je vais vous parler de ce que représente la black hattitude pour moi, ce n'est pas seulement une couleur de peau, c'est un état d'esprit, une philosophie de vie.
Pour cela, plusieurs courants musicaux sont nés. Si vous avez l'occasion, découvrez cet album R.E.L.I.G.I.ON par Black Hattitude.C'est aussi le fait de partager, d'être ouvert sans réserve ni a priori afin de découvrir de nouvelles personnes, d'apprendre d'elles, un échange dans les 2 sens qui ne pourra qu'être bénéfique à tous. See you soon! A bientot!
This movie found it's way to me and I haven't even watched but the first 15 minutes of it and it hit me that this would be something that all American's might want to see right now. It's a tribute to the people of New York City and how they "Came Together" after the 9/11 events, using John Lennon's words and music. I can tell it is very uplifting and emotional. It was broadcast live on October 2, 2002. I don't know where I was then but I was asleep and too wrapped up in my own little life garbage problems to know it was happening. I'm wide awake now and I believe, as a nation, we could use a LOT of uplifting RIGHT NOW. It would be a huge reminder of what the people of our great nation did as they came together after 9/11 and we can do it again. Today, it seems that our nation is falling apart and we all need this reminder. I highly recommend to every American that they watch this video as soon as possible. Give it a shot, you might be happily surprised.
Peace, Love and Light,

On Thursday, August 6, OFA had a table at Swingin’ Summer Thursday in West Chester, PA. It WAS swingin’: a hot salsa band just half a block away.
I saw no end to the enthusiasm of people for President Obama’s three principles of health care reform. The people I talked to know the issues, know disinformation when they see or hear it, and are ready to phone or even visit their members of Congress now that those members will be in their “home” offices for the rest of the month.
The people who sign the declarations have not been fooled one bit by the propaganda. They are going to lead us to victory.
On Thursday, August 6, OFA will canvass at Swingin’ Summer Thursday in West Chester, PA.

I love meeting people at public events like this. And this time it is doubly important. We will be asking for declarations of support for the President’s three health care reform principles. And we will, of course, supply the contact information for our two US Senators and all locally based Congresspeople so that the people we meet can contact their representatives directly.
If you are based in Chester County, PA or anywhere close by, please join me and other members of OFA in our canvass. Training will be provided at the start.

Thanks.
OFA in northern Chester County, PA had to divide its forces over the weekend of July 10-12. Friday evening was the Blobfest in Phoenixville (honoring the movie “The Blob” which was filmed in part in Phoenixville). Saturday was the Rotary Club’s Ice Cream Festival in Coatesville.
A community festival is a goldmine of organizing opportunity. People are having fun and they bring their children along. Those are two good starting points for discussing healthcare reform.
The Ice Cream Festival featured the Lukens (Steel) Concert Band, Lukens Dixieland Band, and the Lukens German Band. (Lukens is the big steel mill in Coatesville and was a prime employer for the city for decades. My grandfather and father both worked there.) Also at the Ice Cream Festival were antique cars, crafts, face painting, food and, of course, ice cream. There were numerous non-profits there and some medical and dental services.
All this was fertile ground for discussion and gaining endorsements for the President’s three principles. Often, as soon as I mentioned health care reform, the person I was talking with would grab the pen and sign.
We need to convince the congressman who represents much of the area, Gerlach (R-PA), that our broken health care system affects the entire country, including those who put him in office.

I'm just gonna be Too Damn Busy to be blogging, given what I told y'all in my last post! A post to which I hope you ALL RESPOND, YES it was, as I admitted, a shameless act of not only "SELF" promotion, but ALSO for the Hospice as well!
As stated, it needs to be made CLEAR that Hospices are NOT "where people go to die", but rather be nurtured into a state, such is my case, where one lives, thrives, and creates!
Again, sign up! Details on how to get here are in my previous post!
The meeting in the Capitol's Strom Thurmond Room on March 11 was a Republican effort led by Sens. McCain of Arizona, John Thune of South Dakota, and Mel Martinez of Florida to reach out to Hispanics. But two people who attended the session say they were taken aback by McCain's anger.What began as a collegial airing of views abruptly changed when McCain spoke about immigration, according to these sources, who asked not to be identified for fear of retribution. Anonymity was also requested by a third source, who was not at the meeting but was told, independently of the other two, that McCain had displayed his notorious temper."He was angry," one source said. "He was over the top. In some cases, he rolled his eyes a lot. There were portions of the meeting where he was just staring at the ceiling, and he wasn't even listening to us. We came out of the meeting really upset."McCain's message was obvious, the source continued: After bucking his party on immigration, he had no sympathy for Hispanics who are dissatisfied with President Obama's pace on the issue. "He threw out [the words] 'You people -- you people made your choice. You made your choice during the election,' " the source said. "It was almost as if [he was saying] 'You're cut off!' We felt very uncomfortable when we walked away from the meeting because of that."

(New Orleans, LA) Announcing CulturePAC, a Public Action Coalition for inclusive effective citizen-driven economic development in New Orleans.
As the City of New Orleans and the Horizon Initiative begin the formation of a new public private economic development agency that will determine the strategies, policies and spending of many millions of dollars over the coming years it has opened an opportunity for economic development processes in New Orleans to become a truly inclusive and effective process in our city. However, in order for this to be the case, wide citizen involvement is necessary. CulturePAC has been organized to this end. The City of New Orleans has committed $6 million over the next three years toward formation of this new agency and it is our responsibility to ensure these public funds are used wisely and to the benefit of the wider community.
Among the issues CulturePAC will address within economic development in New Orleans, and the formation of this new agency, are the use of public funds, poverty, falling wages, underemployment, rising joblessness, erosion of worker rights and other pressing concerns, needs and issues that previous economic development efforts have also failed to acknowledge and address. Within these issues CulturePAC will also work for the sustainability and growth of the region’s cultural economy and the entry and participation of New Orleans creative cultural workers into the new markets of the national and international cultural economy; and to ensure that the new economic development agency being formed by the City and the Horizon Initiative recognizes the vitality of the creative cultural sector, accept recommended strategies developed by the cultural sector, as well as funding.
CulturePAC views working for growth of the creative cultural sector as a poverty reduction strategy for New Orleans, since the vast majority of the creative cultural products and services the city and its tourism industry trades upon come from our most neglected and marginalized neighborhoods that remain unacknowledged by the old-guard economic elite that rules economic development.
