LOVED!!! event at Madison gallery in la Jolla.....many many cultural Cultivators present!!
people say Obama's words are just words...
but...
when was the last time "words" weren't important...???...
when was the last time a great leader didn't use words to lead...??...
when was the last time a person didn't use words to describe how they felt...?...
when was the last time "words" weren't empowering...?...
and we can all recall the last time "words" were used to divide us and install fear...
Bush used words to fear us into voting for him the second time around...
terror this...
terror that...
nuclear here...
weapons of mass destruction there...
and those words effected a lot of people's choices...
"enough is enough"...
let's rebuild...
let's change ourselves...
let's allow positivity to guide us...
let's take action....
let's activate our passion...
we are Americans....
and this is the first time in forever that someone running for president represents "US"...
some say this is all excitement...
I call it "proud to be an American"...
some say this whole Obama movement is "cult like"...
well...
if it comes across cult like...
then...
the cult is called America...
the Obama movement is connecting America.
and it has made "US" realize our importance...
the youth is excited and activated...
adults are passionate and motivated...
the elderly are proud to know the country they built is in safe hands...
we are one...
for too long politics has been corrupt...
separate from the American people...
with agendas that go against what the American people "need"...
education...
health...
safety...
jobs
etc...
politicians have spoken a different language...
making it so the youth and poor people feel as if voting was only for the wealthy and old people...
making "US" feel as if "we" had no voice...
making "US" feel powerless...
making it feel like if "we" did vote it wouldn't change anything...
but wait...
that did happen...
some of us voted, and it didn't change anything...
we were in the dark...
we had no voice...
we were powerless...
because America was not a united America...
and "they" spoke a different language...
and they had an agenda different from our well being...
correct me if I'm wrong... or speak up if I'm missing something...
we want education, health, safety, and good jobs...right???...
oh yeah...
and "a healthy planet to live on"...
but here we are...
in a war... poor education... poor health programs... the dollar is down... the planet, polluted...
the rich, richer... and the poor, struggling...
with sky high gas prices to top it all off...
and now even the rich aren't really rich internationally because our dollar is has fallen so far down...
in our slumber... a very small few got really rich...
because when you're sleeping...
"it's hard to change agendas"...
we know what happened in 2000 and 2004...
but in 2008...
it's different...
we are awake...
and there is a movement...
and "it's hard to change a movement"...
last time "we" didn't have a movement...
America wasn't united...
and now "United and "Standing"...for something...
we know the power of "US"...
and we have a person who represents the "U.S."...
"US"...
"we are the ones we've been waiting for"...
I'm proud to be an American...

SD"Christian" Pastors fund hate/teen Gay Murder-really :(
I write this with great sadness, disgust, and disappointment in the present state of our humanity in dealing with diversity and tolerance.
With the millions of HIV+ starving children in Africa, Female genital mutilation, public stoning, the war in Iraq, and illiteracy in the country this is what "stewards/messengers" of G_d do with their time?However, there always is a gift in the darkest of places.
San Diego Based “God’s Design for Marriage” Lead by pastors
Miles McPherson, pastor of the Rock Church in San Diego, and Jim Garlow, senior pastor of Skyline Church in La Mesa, are currently raising funds to put the Protect Marriage Amendment in front of congress. This is said to be a backlash to the Governor recently signing SB777, diversity education bill, that would require mandatory classes on diversity and tolerance for all students in CA schools.
Signed in the wake of the murder of a 15 year old gay student on February 12, 2008 at E.O Green School in Oxnard, CA. 15 year old Lawrence King was shot in the head IN CLASS by a fellow classmate. Other students say the 14 year old classmate was texting other students before he shot the victim at point blank.
175 SD area pastors, churches, and other "family advocate" groups are organizing around San Diego gathering signatures by misleading voters with "voteyesmarriage.com" signs and inadequate information.
Funny i always thought that the majority of Local Christian Churches were suppose to promote love, compassion, and acceptance NOT the intolerance and MURDER of a teen and other hate crimes around the country. Aren't they suppose to be doing what Jesus would do? Well what would he do? Certainly not raise funds to strip citizens of protection.
Just think what could be accomplished if they focused their energy on something productive, G_dly, and positive?
