HILARY TAKES A BACKSEAT!

GOOGLE
Hilary Rodam Clinton, introduced by her daughter, at the Democratic Convention, was amazing. Her speech was inspiring and I know her hope is that, her supporters will change their votes to support Barak Obama. Not an Obama fan myself, I see her point. By voting for Hilary as a write in, your vote will be lost, and Republican John McCain will only benefit from that. It won't be a vote for the Democrats, which is what we need. For the changes from the past eight years to go in a more positive direction, one that encompasses every American, not just big business and the rich, we must all vote Democratic and that means Obama.

I wonder how the White House Staff will respond, taking a subjective role under his, presumption. I'd like to see Michelle Obama stronger than I have seen her. She appears submissive and I'm not sure that she can find "herself" in the country, especially while raising two very young African American children in America. Having the first African American President may bring some consequence, as response to his blatant narcissism, which has nothing to do with his gender or his race.

I am saddened by Hilary's loss, but I know that many, that never expected her strength, will also be disappointed. I think she gained a great many points from her speech tonight. It is a shame that her supporters (me included), can't find a way to put her back in the driver's seat. So becoming an Obama supporter, although difficult, will be the best choice in this election. I believe his choice for Vice President should be in his favor. Biden's experience with foreign affairs should give the presidency an edge they might not have had.

11 YEAR OLD HERO TO THE HOMELESS

GOOGLE
11-Year-Old Jack Davis' Bill to Help the Homeless is about to Be Signed into Law!


Jack’s Bill, officially titled the "Jack Davis Florida Lending a Helping Hand Bill," which will allow restaurants to give their unused food to the homeless, just passed in the Florida House of Representatives. The next step is for the governor to sign it into law, which should happen in the next few weeks. Once the bill is signed, it should take effect July 1, 2008.

Jack went to Tallahassee and did a lot of lobbying for his bill. While there, Jack was fortunate enough to meet with several legislators and attend several sessions and committee meetings, but the highlight of his trip was a 20-minute meeting with the Governor of Florida, Charlie Crist. The governor had Jack sit in his chair, which Jack told him was "almost" as comfortable as the "Ellen chair.” The governor then promised he would sign Jack’s Bill into law if it reached his desk!

We’ll keep you updated, of course, to let you know how everything turned out, and to find out what great deeds Jack Davis will be pursuing next!

AMERICA DESERVES LEADERSHIP IN EDUCATION!

GOOGLE
AMERICANS DESERVE LEADERSHIP ON EDUCATION

To boost America’s economy we must focus on strengthening K-12 education.

Why? Economists estimate that if America raises student skills closer to that of European nations, the U.S. economy would grow by an additional 5% over 30 years resulting in an extra $1.5 trillion in 2037 alone—more than triple current U.S. spending on K-12 public education.

TALKING THE TALK INSTEAD OF WALKING THE WALK!

We have known about Global Warming since the beginning of time, but we spend so much time giving lip service to it,(Talking the Talk, instead of Walking the Walk) and waiting for government officials to fulfill their campaign promises to us every 4 years, yet nothing ever really changes. We have an opportunity now, during an election year, to make a commitment to global change, and we can "ALL" take the time and energy to convince our policy makers to listen to what "we the people want." "We the People," not "We the Government." It is time to level the playing field, take our place among the leaders of OUR country, to force the necessary legislature, and to protect this planet for our children and future generations.

How can we, in good conscience, listen to the speech that Al Gore made on July 17th, and not step up to the plate and walk the walk, instead of just talking the talk? Join me at WE CAN SOLVE IT and move in a positive direction that leads us, if necessary to the steps of the White House. Watch Al Gore's speech and tell me what you think.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH

ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH

If I have to actually explain what the Law of Attraction is like, I can do it with at least one of a hundred different stories. As I was sitting here tonight in my empty living room, as a result of my affirmation to become “fearless,” I got a phone call from a woman named Kathleen. Kathleen works for a company that helps to relieve your debt, we were having a conversation that related to some paper work she sent me and it was for an account at Rocky Mountain Bank and Trust. Now how often do you think that a “co-incidence” like this would happen. As we were talking, the television was muted, and when I took it off mute, John Denver was singing Rocky Mountain High. Now maybe none of that is significant to anyone but me, but it is like that all day long for me. These little, miraculous, funny moments that make me laugh aloud here, alone, in my living room. If I cared what my neighbors thought, they would probably be thinking I am a looney tune but I don’t care, because having a moment like that just makes my day. “Thank God I’m a Country boy.”
