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,

The National Day Of Prayer
There is great sanctity in prayer
How we do it and where
Ecumenical services are more for men
National Committees choosing when
Assembly is appropriate for public display
To give an elusion they communally pray
I believe when we pray we must bare our soul
Open our heart to God and give Him the control
No interruption or distraction we should deliberately make
And so cameras and mics can make prayer fake
Lots of my friends differ with me
Don’t see the harm in praying publicly
And with the technology to spread prayer far and wide
You’re being sanctimonious if in prayer you hide
Once I bare my soul, the greatest essence of me
Focus on my Lord to pray earnestly
People should understand the emotions I feel
Reverence beyond description as I bend and kneel
And understand I would sooner walk naked through the street
Yes naked, before I pray with cameras set at my feet
Ecumenical services for the people but don’t mock the Lord
Refusing cameras by President Obama, I’m in full concord
Goodmorning, as you know, we are aligning our focus and prayers toward the unemployment crisis that is affecting hundreds of thousands of additional americans each month. Since January 2007, nearly three million jobs have already been lost in our country.
One of the leading drivers in the Campaign for Change were empowered by the need of the american people to acquire work for themselves. It helped to catapult, that and a dismal economy, President Obama to the Oval Office in a historical landslide win.
Our prayer team looks toward the act of praying and strengthening our faith that the men and women who are seeking employment will most certainly find it. God is not responsible for millions of people losing their jobs. He is faithful and just; He will sustain you and your family until new employment is obtained. He will honor His word and not leave forsaken. He will give you peace in your mind to remove the stressful pressure points from your mind.
These are those things we ought to pray for. We typically seek the black and white theory; blessings or curses, good or bad, up or down. Not so with God friends. Today we pray that God will make your way simple, without stress, painless. We pray that He provides you with what some in the south call "staying power"; endurance.
In this race, you win in the end! However, the race is not "given" to those who run the fastest or the furthest, nor is it "given" to those who possess the greatest strength, but instead to them who simply endure. We pray today that you find your pace and run your race! This prayer team will join with you and stand with you along the way.
The politics of our country, well, they come and they go, they are good and then they are bad, but your faith in God and the power of prayer should never lose its intensity.

We love you because He does.
In His Service,

We offer our prayers and condolences to a Texas family of the first U.S. associated dealth with Swine Flu or H1N1 virus. The small child, told to have recently visited Mexico was only 23months old.
As told, Texas is now known to have 6 of the known 64 U.S. confirmed cases of the Swine Flu to the moment. Our prayers go out to this family this morning as well as to all those still experiencing difficulties with the virus.
Below, I have attached some FAQ's from CNN to help us better understand some of the concerns associated with the virus and some of the things we should be doing as a community as we further engage into the flu remedies.
Throughout your day, please keep this family and all others lifted up before God in humble prayer.
This morning, CNN answers questions from viewers who are concerned about symptoms and their travel history. As we learn more about the swine flu, we are using CNN’s newsgathering resources to help answer some of our viewers’ most frequently asked questions.
Q: How can you tell whether you have a common flu or swine flu?
CNN: The symptoms of the current swine flu and seasonal flu are very similar. Reports suggest that this flu virus may result in nausea, vomiting and diarrhea more often than the typical flu. CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta says doctors in Mexico have reported seeing sudden dizziness as well. There’s no way to tell for sure without getting tested. If you’re feverish or have other flu-like symptoms such as a cough or a sore throat, you should see a doctor.
One positive aspect is that the swine flu cases appeared near the end of influenza season, Dr. Richard Besser, the acting CDC director told a news conference Tuesday. Had the outbreak occurred in January or February, public health officials would have had greater difficulty because of the number of people infected with the common flu.
Q: My family returned from Mexico this week. We aren’t sick, but aren’t sure if we should stay away from other people. Can we spread the virus even if we feel ok?
CNN: In general, people who are not sick probably do not put other people at risk, said Dr. Arthur Reingold, head of epidemiology in the School of Public Health at the University of California, Berkeley. There is no recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or the World Health Organization that they should be quarantined.
Q: Will the current economic situation make the swine flu outbreak worse because of unemployment or uninsured Americans who may delay going to the doctor because of their current financial situation?
CNN: If more people go untreated because they lack insurance or the money to pay to see a doctor, it would likely cause those people to become sicker than they would have been otherwise. Lack of care would not affect the spread of the disease if those people remained isolated and avoided close contact with others, as the CDC has recommended.
Q: How long can the virus survive on objects? If someone sneezes and touches a grocery cart how will that cart carry the virus?
CNN: The virus survives on surfaces certainly for a number of hours. Even though the virus can survive on surfaces, the likelihood of it being transmitted from one person to another via a phone or surface is slim. It needs to get down into your lungs to make you sick, said Dr. Arthur Reingold, head of epidemiology in the School of Public Health at the University of California, Berkeley. “I personally would not have a major fear of environmental contamination,” he said. “Virtually all influenza is transmitted from sneezing and coughing.”
We have been working around the clock to maximize the opportunity that we have come to have recently where as we are reaching out to those who have labored in a major way to ensure the election of our president, Barack Obama. We want to keep you energized about this presidency and the direction inwhich he taking this country so The White House Prayer Team was formed to encourage Americans to get behind the solemn vow and sanctity of prayer to better lift up our leaders in our nation.
We have gotten the prayer requests as we have requested. We want to pray for you and your family as well so feel free to join our LIVE chat online or contact us by email at Whitehouseprayer@live.com. Our web address is http://whitehouseprayerteam.blogspot.com. We can't do this without you. Its free, so come on over. Also, for many of our Facebook followers, "White-House Prayer" is how we can be found or by the email acct.
This prayer team stays up on all the happenings and we must...we need to know in advance what we need to pray for! Pray with us as we pray for this White House.
The Obama administration quietly announced this weekend that it would boycott an international conference about racism and discrimination because of concerns that the conference unfairly singles out Israel for criticism and because the conference may set the stage for restrictions on free speech.
The United Nations conference is set to begin tomorrow in Geneva, Switzerland.
Protesting what their leaders see as anti-Semitic and anti-Israel overtones to the conference, Australia, Canada, Israel, Italy and Sweden are also not sending delegations.
Acting U.S. State Department spokesman Robert Wood Saturday issued a statement saying that the 2009 Durban Review Conference draft outcome document "still contains language that reaffirms in toto the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action (DDPA) from 2001, which the United States has long said it is unable to support" because it "singles out one particular conflict and prejudges key issues that can only be resolved in negotiations between the Israelis and Palestinians."
"Its inclusion in the review conference document has the same effect as inserting that original text into the current document and re-adopting it," Wood said. In addition, he added that the United States "also has serious concerns with relatively new additions to the text regarding 'incitement,' that run counter to the U.S. commitment to unfettered free speech." Earlier drafts of the document expressed disapproval of any "defamation of religion."
Wood said: "Therefore, with regret, the United States will not join the review conference."
Human rights organizations expressed disappointment at the decision.
“From the outset we have shared Washington’s deep concern about the efforts by some governments to use the racism meeting to single out Israel for criticism and to promote the idea that religions should be protected over rights, ” said Juliette de Rivero, Geneva advocacy director at Human Rights Watch. “But governments have now excised troubling language about the Middle East and ‘defamation of religion’ from the meeting’s draft resolution.”
Congressional Black Caucus chair Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., said the CBC was "deeply dismayed" by the President's decision.
``This decision is inconsistent with the administration's policy of engaging with those we agree with and those we disagree with,'' she said. "By boycotting Durban, the U.S. is making it more difficult for it to play a leadership role on U.N. Human Rights Council as it states it plans to do. This is a missed opportunity, plain and simple.''
The announcement was not unexpected.
In February, Wood said that "the document being negotiated has gone from bad to worse, and the current text of the draft outcome document is not salvageable." United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice told Politico's Ben Smith that the document was "rife with anti-Israeli and other problematic substance" and "not a credible basis for a responsible outcome." The Obama administration had worked with the Russian leaders chair the conference, as well as senior United Nations officials, on making changes to the document.
Ultimately some changes were made -- and specific mentions of Israel were removed -- but not enough to satisfy American policymakers.
The draft outcome document specifically "(r)eaffirms the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action (DDPA), as it was adopted at the World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance in 2001."
Much of the debate at the 2001 conference focused on whether or not Zionism was inherently racism, prompting the US and Israeli delegations to withdraw from the conference. An early draft called Israel "a racist apartheid state" and referred to Israel's "systematic perpetration of racist crimes, including war crimes, acts of genocide and ethnic cleansing."
The final language in the DDPA 2001 document, was much tamer, though no other country or struggle except for the Israel-Palestinian conflict was singled out for criticism.
"We are concerned about the plight of the Palestinian people under foreign occupation," it stated. "We recognize the inalienable right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and to the establishment of an independent State and we recognize the right to security for all States in the region, including Israel, and call upon all States to support the peace process and bring it to an early conclusion."
Calling the conference "a celebration of racism and vile anti-Semitic activity" and "further evidence of the U.N.'s inability to demonstrate any semblance of fairness or objectivity on these issues when it comes to the Jewish State," the American Israel Public Affairs Committee issued a statement applauding President Obama's decision as "the right thing to do and underscores America's unstinting commitment to combating intolerance and racism in all its forms and in all settings."

I thank God every day for President Obama. My faith community often makes reference to praying for our leaders so that God may continue to anoint them and bless them with added wisdom to lead, but I find myself praying for President Obama a great deal, not only because I like him but also because he means so well for our country. His decisions and whole being project that. When I talk to people and tell them how much I find myself praying for him, I usually find out that many others are also praying for him. I do not know the president personally as we have never met one-on-on, but the times I have heard him speak confirm for me that he is quite couragious and full of wisdom. He is leading our country during a time of crisis for many of us, and I could not have more confidence in anyone else to lead us during this tough economic time. I appreciate the wisdom that he has been using so far to address our economic concerns. Let's continue to pray for our president who has to make very tough decisions and is often met with fierced apposition. Let's pray, too, for Congress so that all may support our president to lead this great nation. May God bless our President Barack Obama and may God bless the USA.
--Remy Nelson
Can you be the answer to somebody's prayer today?
God knows who our enemies are. God has a way of taking the powerful and humbling them. Every enemy of God shall bow down and their wisdom be turned to foolishness. When our enemies can no longer stand under the mighty hand of God, they too will cry out to God for help. According to his will, God can align every enemy of America and make them one allegiance with America.
Philippians 2:10, 11 says, "so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” In order for America to realize the true blessedness of our relationship with God, we must keep God first and walk in obedience to the commandments of God--which are to love God with all our might and our neighbor as our self (Matthew 22:37-40).
It is virtually impossible to cause harm to others if we keep these two great commandments. Love God. Love others. God answers prayer in response to our heartfelt needs because God loves us. If we love others, then we will do all that is within our power to help meet their needs. Love is not how we feel but what we do. The mandate to love is further extended to our enemies (Matthew 5:43-48). If we only love those who love us, then we have not done anything great. America, God is not asking us to make alliance with our enemies, only to love them. As we continue to trust Jesus Christ as our Savior, show forth the love of God, and walk in obedience to the will of God individually and collectively as a nation, then God will answer prayers on our behalf by establishing the international alliances we need. The building of alliances is a spiritual work that will manifest itself physically at the appointed time.
Whether God answers our prayers directly or through others, it remains that God does answer prayer.
Prayer: Lord God, my ever present help in trouble, please help me to trust you to create the alliances I need in my life. Help me to keep faith in Jesus Christ as my Savior while I await the answers to my prayers. Amen.
What a time to live in? Many things are changing around us and it seems as if we are spending out of control. The definition of the word control means; manage, be in charge of and have power over. For so long we have been running our lives in a way that we are the captains of our own ship—maybe you are. Now that the sail is turning and the tides are shifting, we must look up in a different direction as we harness the winds of change and continue to pray and ask for God’s guidance in helping our President and his staff.
We must never lose focus in what is happening in our world today, if we want to see a brighter tomorrow for the next generation. Prayer is the oxygen in the wind we breathe that will cause us to move with the winds of change as we bow our knees in humility and pray for our government leaders all over the world. If we learn to celebrate differences without judgments, we can become who God has always intended for us to be; leaders of the free world, because united we stand and divided we fall.
Continue to lift up the hands of our President, President Barack Obama, his family and the new cabinet as they do God’s willed on our behalf. Blessings, Dorcas
Prayer for the Nation
O God of Hosts, Creator of heaven and earth,
Mother of the universe,[i]
Blessed be your glorious name
That is exalted above all blessing and praise.
You are the Lord, you alone.
You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens,
With all its starry hosts,
The earth and all that is in it,
The seas and all that is in them.
To all of them you give life.
The host of heaven worships you.[ii]
O great and awesome God,
Who keeps covenant and steadfast love
With those who love you
And keep your commandments.
We have not always done what we know is right;
We have often times been rebellious.
We have often times turned from your ways
And followed the ways of our own hearts.
We often times do not listen to
Your messengers who speak in your name,
Who pray on our behalf,
Who are often grieved because of our sins.[iii]
Righteousness is on your side,
O Lord, but this day
Open shame falls on us,
The people of America,
And the inhabitants of lands far and near.
Open shame, O Lord, falls on us,
Our leaders,
Our officials,
And our ancestors,
Because we have not walked in your ways.[iv]
O Creator,
Show us your mercy and forgiveness,
For we are a disobedient
And rebellious people.
We have turned aside,
Refusing to obey your voice.
But even in our waywardness
You have not been far from us.[v]
When we cried out to you
During times of war and famine,
From heaven you heard us
And with great compassion,
You delivered us.
It was you, Lord, who rescued us
From the hand of our enemy.
But as soon as we were at rest,
We again returned
To following our own ways.
Time and time again
You have rescued us
Out of difficult situations.
And each time
We have quickly forgotten
The source of our deliverance.[vi]
O Lord God of hosts
You are righteous
In everything you do.
Yet, we continue to disobey you.[vii]
You only require that
We live righteously and do justly,
That we love kindness and walk humbly.[viii]
O God,
We repent of our evil thoughts
And our rebellious ways.
Forgive us, I pray,
For we are covered with shame.
For many go hungry in America,
The land of plenty.
Many go homeless in America,
Many are without proper health care
In America,
Our children and elders
Are without love and comfort
One of the most compassionate
Nations in the world.
Millions are without jobs
One of the richest
And most industrialized
Deliver us, O God,
From our own ways.
Deliver us from all
Our unrighteousness.
Have mercy on us.
Forgive us for not acting swiftly in
Loosening the bonds of injustice,
For not breaking every yoke
And setting the oppressed free.
God, forgive us for not
Sharing our food with the hungry,
And for not
Giving shelter to the homeless.
Lord, we have even failed to cover the naked.
Nor have we been our neighbor's keeper.[ix]
Lord, we are ashamed for we have not
Loved each other as you have loved us.[x]
And
Forgive us God for polluting
And pillaging Mother Earth,
For not appreciating your wondrous works.[xi]
In all things Lord,
We know you will be just.
Once again, you will act faithfully
In delivering us
From political corruption,
From social injustices,
From economic hardships,
And from moral decay.[xii]
Now O God,
Creator of heaven and earth,
Mother of the universe,
Hear your servants' prayers
For your name sake.
O Lord, Look with favor on your people,
All the people of the world.
Give ear, O God, and hear.
Open your eyes and
See the needs of your people.
We do not make requests of you
Because we are righteous,
But because of your great mercy.
O Lord, Listen!
O Lord, forgive!
O Lord, hear and act!
For your sake,
O my God, do not delay.[xiii] Amen.
[i] I believe God to be the God of everything and every people. I also realize that no metaphor can adequately capture the full essence of God’s being. To this end, I address the deity as God, Creator, and Mother in an effort to touch a diverse group of people. See Fowler, “Postmodern Theologies and the Praxis of God,” (Draft-September, 1993). Fowler’s lecture on “The Praxis of God” on September 21, 1993 that drew from this essay greatly affirmed my belief that the old images of God are becoming obsolete, especially the patristic images.
[ii] Nehemiah 9:5b-6 paraphrased. (All paraphrases are a combination of the King James and the New Revised Standard Version. I have paraphrased in several instances.) This is the beginning of a prayer of confession; it continues through verse 37. The prayer is preceded by praises to God. I think it is appropriate to open any and all communications to God with praise, realizing that God is a universal God—a
cosmic God who is responsible for everything that is. In terms expressed by Sallie McFague, The Body of God (Minneapolis: Fortress Press, 1993), you might say that the universe is “the body of God,” which is intended as a “holistic metaphysic.” McFague uses “the organic model as a way of re-conceiving the relation of God and the world” (p. 81). She contends that the recognition and appreciation of the interrelatedness of everything in the world should help people act more responsibly. This motif will come up again later on in this prayer.
[iii] Daniel 9:4-6. Here Daniel is confessing the greatness of God and acknowledging the rebelliousness of the people in spite of warnings from the prophets. Even though people may recognize and acknowledge God for who God is, that does not mean that they are prepared to keep covenant with God and follow God’s commandments. See Fowler’s Weaving the New Creation (New York: HarperCollins Publishers, 1991), page 102 for a definition of “covenant.” The covenant of love is between two parties, God and the people who love and obey God.
[iv] Based on Daniel 9:7-8. The moral condition of the people caused them to feel great shame in this passage. I wonder today if we feel great shame because of our immorality. In one of my first seminary group teaching session, we talked about being in solidarity with the poor. Could it be that we too feel great shame because as a society we have systematically neglected the poor and marginalized of the world?
[v] Daniel 9:9-11. In spite of our rebellion, I know God will continue to be merciful and forgiving if we confess our sins.
[vi] Nehemiah 9:27-28. The pattern of faithfulness and falling away is repeated often throughout the history of Israel. The same is true of people of God today. Have we not learned lessons from history? How long do we continue this game of Russian roulette with our salvation? How long will God be patient with a rebellious and unfaithful people? See Weaving the New Creation (Fowler, 1991, p. 136).
[vii] Daniel 9:14. I am careful to uphold the righteousness of God over and against the righteousness of humans. God’s righteousness is steadfast and holistic, whereas people tend to do right sometimes and only in some situations.
[viii] Amos 5:24, Micah 6:8. To do what is good and to hate evil seems like a simple task, but what is good and what is evil? In today’s pluralistic world people are seeking to know the ways of God. In his book, Uncommon Decency, Richard Mouw offers a way—civility—to begin dialogue that makes it possible for people of diverse backgrounds to ponder questions such as these.
[ix] Isaiah 58:6-7. In a discussion on liberation theology, I asked myself the question, “Who are the poor?” “Who are the marginalized?” The “oppressed” in this passage includes the children, the elders, the homosexuals, the bisexuals, women, African Americans, Native Americans, Latin Americans, and any other marginalized group—and lest we forget, the earth and all of its creatures. The intent here is to highlight social issues that people of God should continuously attend to, as opposed to being content with superficial forms of worship within the congregation.
[x] John 15:12. The greatest commandments were that we love God and each other. I am sure that omitting either of the two causes God great displeasure. In fact, God’s covenant with us is based on love. God loves us because God made us.
[xi] McFague, 1993 (Chapter 3). I see humans not so much as God’s body, but the fact that we were made in the image of God and are loved by God should be reason enough to respect all of God’s creation. Creation exists in an interdependent relationship. God designed it that way and the least humans can do is be responsible about how we treat the earth and her creatures.
[xii] Nehemiah 9:33. In every situation, God keeps the steadfast covenant of love. Regardless of the way we live in America, God keeps right on blessing us. Perhaps, our greatest blessings are yet to be realized. If in our sinfulness we still prosper, what would happen if we were to “do good, hate evil, and live humbly” with our neighbors? My intent in this poetic work is to convey God’s faithfulness in answering prayer. Prayer is critical to the faith of a people. During my seminary studies, I especially looked forward to times of “centering” prayer. In reference to the latter part of this section, no theology would be complete without a holistic image of God. I believe we should lift up every issue that is common to humankind when we pray - personal and communal concerns.
[xiii] This is a petition for God to hear the cry of a broken society. Not that God cannot see and hear all at all times, but I understand that it is in our asking that God answers for God knows what we need even before we ask. Various lessons from my seminary training at Emory helped me to understand more and more about ways to pray. See Maria Harris, Fashion Me A People (Kentucky: Wesminster/John Knox Press, 1989), Chapter 5, “Leiturgia: The Curriculum of Prayer.”
"This is my hope. This is my prayer."Thursday, February 5th, 2009 at 12:08 pmhttp://www.whitehouse.gov/blog_post/this_is_my_prayer"The particular faith that motivates each of us can promote a greater good for all of us," President Obama said this morning to a crowd of several thousand people gathered for the National Prayer Breakfast at the Washington Hilton in the nation's capital. "Instead of driving us apart, our varied beliefs can bring us together to feed the hungry and comfort the afflicted; to make peace where there is strife and rebuild what has broken; to lift up those who have fallen on hard times."A dozen foreign leaders attended, including former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who delivered the keynote address.Rep. Jo Ann Emerson (R-MO) and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) read from Scripture, Rep. Ike Skelton (D-MO) delivered a prayer for national leaders, Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) delivered a prayer for world leaders, and Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) delivered the closing prayer. Casting Crowns, a Christian rock group, performed at the event.The National Prayer Breakfast, currently co-chaired by Reps. Vern Ehlers (R-MI) and Heath Shuler (D-NC), is a yearly event held in Washington, D.C., on the first Thursday of February each year. The event has taken place since 1953 and every U.S. president since Dwight D. Eisenhower has participated in the breakfast.The President is set to sign an executive order regarding the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, which we'll have more on later today.Read the President's remarks below.

I began including Barack Obama in my creative life after his first debate with Senator Clinton. I wanted him to take back his power. Thus I created a "Take back your Power" song and video for him, his wife Michelle, and everyone else; A musical guide for people to take back their powers together. After MOVE ON called for a 26 second Obama Ad, I reworked it for that.
You can see the 26 second MUSEic video Obama AD at:
http://journeyswithskyklark.blip.tv/#872682
Later I integrated the entire process from conception, through creation, to completion into one of my 30 minute TV shows, "JOURNEYS with SKYLARK". (You can see the TV show in Fort Collins, Colorado on Comcast Channel 97. It plays Tues. 10PM, Wed.8PM and Thurs. 10PM)
You can see a 3 miniute edit of the 30 minute show at:

Later on in the campaign three other women with healing and helping abilities gathered at my studio and we did a 'prayer' circle calling in light, love, power and protection for The Obamas. Special effects were used to show this spiritual light energy. You can see this 7 minute clip at:
http://journeyswithskylark.blip.tv#1427406
And when Senator Obama came to my home town of Fort Collins Colorado, I printed up press passes from our public access tv station and did a three camera shoot of his wonderful talk to the 50,000 people who came. You can see 10 minutes of that talk at:

I'm commiting creative time, consciousness and TV expertise to world healing in every way I know. Please call on me to help. With great appreciation to President Elect Barack Obama for the position he now takes as a world helper, healer...savior. May peace, prosperity and enlightenment be the outcome. Carol Skylark
My family is going to pray for Obama every day. Each day we will be expressing our gratitude for having Obama as our President.
Here are some ideas about how to ensure America's well-being under President Obama:
Send your love to President Obama. Even if you didn't vote for Obama, it is in your best interest to support his efforts to revitalize America. Visualize and imagine the wonderful future America and the world will enjoy under President Obama. Speak, act, and think from the mindset of a citizen who knows that positive change has arrived. Eliminate thoughts and words of lack such as "I can't", "It won't work". Remember Obama's message: "I'M ASKING YOU TO BELIEVE. Not just in my ability to bring about real change in Washington...I'm asking you to believe in yours." Believe it! Do not, for a single second, speak or think of failure to achieve our vision and President Obama's vision. We know some right wing crazies want Obama to fail, but the power of love and hope and righteousness always wins. Fortify our position with the love in your heart. Be grateful for the country we have. Appreciate it and help make it better. Make lists of all the things you will do as we begin to reap the benefits of the programs Obama implements, including investments in clean energy and programs to save the economy. Do whatever it takes for you to feel happy about the country under President Obama. Affirm to yourself every day that there is reason to expect the best under President Obama. Appreciate all the opportunities around you, including the programs President Obama will implement that benefit others. Look for good wherever you go, and appreciate everything President Obama is doing, even if it benefits someone other than you. Appreciate it all. Love yourself and know that we all deserve a leader who reflects the best aspects of us, as Obama does. Remind yourself everyday that your future is brigher than ever, and remind yourself that President Obama can lead us where we want to go. Do whatever it takes to feel good about the future of our country. The emotions of joy and happiness are powerful. Be happy now! Be certain that great things are coming! They are!
