As Obama says, this will be a long journey, and it will not be easy. Like all of us, he has personal flaws to overcome.

There is no certainty in the words of a leader, a prophet, nor even those of God, the certainty of all rests in their actions.

For all the worlds greatest visionaries, altering perceptions and changing attitudes is the hardest and longest struggle.

and so we*continue, lesser for that which we have been and are, yet greater in the knowing of what we could possibly be.

Unite the C.H.A.O.S.

Voting History

Dear Jason

It was my intention not to be absent for this historical vote.
So i mailed in my absentee ballot.

My presidential vote was identical to yours
only mine went in about two weeks early.

Yet sadly i did not consider to photograph mine.

And it remains interesting that while the white Caucasian half
of Barack Obama's family is continually mentioned as having been
those that raised and most influenced him, he is seen by the world as black.

This will be the opportunity for the world to witness a gifted human being
for just that and not his complexion.

He did not run a political campaign based upon race.....just on values.
And he will always be valued for that.

The election of this gentleman will help to transform
the present moment into the consciousness of the future.

For this election is about the future.
It is about the freedom of all children to come.

It is about the acceptance of being.

However, there has never been a process of reconciliation. There are still undercurrents of bitterness and distrust that permeate our culture and underlie our civic structures.

and least any*one forget or fail to mention, that both Africa and the entire New World Continent, (North & South) along with most of Europe, Asia and much of the human race was at the time ruled under functioning, practicing slave economies, that carried out routine war and oppression upon their neighbors.

that the civil wars for freedom and equal rights throughout history have yet to be fully authored within the promise of the blood shed and the ink spilled upon the lofty papers and places of humanity.

that without a reconciliation and atonement of our system, on a global scale, the foundations which create structures of injustice and privilege will continue to undercut the nobel efforts of even the most sincere individual, group or nation.

for it is the responsibility of all to make amends of the past in order to appropriately focus upon their future...

Quote:

if this year's Democratic convention ends up with any historical legacy beyond nominating Barack Obama, it will likely be remembered as one of many events that helped forge a contemporary progressive movement.

YesWeWill

There is only one question, one quality, one decision, one judge of merit for The*People to establish and hold themselves and their leaders to:

The foundation and might of America . . . Is doing the right*thing.

and so in their heart of hearts, they know electing Barack Obama is the right thing to do, to begin the healing of America and the world.

thus the solution is: Yes*We*Will

other*wise its - S.O.S. - change we can neither believe in nor trust.

It's time the alternative is given a chance.
