Happy Earth Day

Happy Earth day friends. Also check out this blog that rapper extraordinaire Common posted. I would have never thought that eating meat contributes more to global warming than auto exhaust pollution.

Lest We Forget

I have been living in Washington,D.C. for the past few months.I feel blessed to have been placed here,so to speak,before the November election which catapulted Barack Obama to the U.S. presidency,making him the first black man in the history of our nation to be elected to the country's top post.

I have been favored,as other Washingtonians, with an inside view of the hustle and bustle,behind the scenes networking and political jockeying for tickets to the Inauguration.I have even gotten to observe how the city is being reorganized to accommodate the masses expected to flood the city in a few weeks.Most,if not all of the hotels have been sold out for days.Many are planning to move out of their residences and relocate temporarily with friends or relatives to accommodate those in need of housing.Others are getting in on events and balls for social and/or business purposes.

You can be sure that the nation's capital is brimming with excitement in anticipation of the Inauguration. In fact,word has it that more Americans will have the opportunity to observe Barack Obama being sworn in than any other President Elect in U.S. history.All the parties,events and ventures which will overflow from this tremendous breakthrough,and the enterprise which has been generated is mind-boggling. This is a one moment in time,once in a lifetime experience for which many are preparing. I will be covering the inauguration as a blogger and citizen reporter and making recommendations about activities and events of note.

Powell Endorses Obama ...Very Eloquently,I Might Add

Take a look at the eceptionally eloquent and well thought out manner in which Retired General,Former Secretary of State and Elder Statesman,Colin Powell, endorsed Senator Barack Obama this morning on Meet the Press.

Powell sees Obama as a transformational figure with global reach,heralding in a new generation.It was a powerfully impressive vote of confidence indeed:

...A Reminder to Vote

What must it feel like to carry the hopes and dreams of an entire race of people on your shoulders?

"As much as I hate to say it, I know beyond a doubt that the next four three weeks are going to be nasty. He's leading, and there are people who simply cannot stomach the idea of his beautiful family living in the White House. There will be smears, all sorts of slander and lies, the likes of which you've probably rarely seen. So we got to pray for this man. And please . . . make sure you VOTE!!! Vote early if you can!" - anonymous

I received both the above photo,its caption and linked power point presentation in my ususal stream of emails from friends today. They are sure to provide all the motivation and energy needed to go out to the polls on Tuesday,November 4,2008, determined more than ever to make your vote count.

The slideshow is awesome.It brought back many painful yet profound memories from the past. They have spurred me on even more to make an historic vote for change. If your mind is not yet made up,this presentation may inspire you to constructive action.

As for me,I am making my vote count in the upcoming election.And,I am going to encourage my friends and family to do the same. By the grace of God, and by virtue of the power to choose, our government,in the greatest country on Earth,the candidate of my choice,and I dare say,the people...will be elected by a landslide come election day.

Take a look and pass this power point/slideshow on. I could only post it to my blog in "click on" mode,which allows photo by photo viewing.Right click on the photos to start the presentation without having to click by photo,if you prefer.

Enjoy.
