HELP, please.

A miracle is needed. If you can think of any PROMISING contacts,
please let me know.

For a good 2-3 weeks now in the evenings at the vigil - "Hey
Start!" "Hey D," I respond to the 7 year old. And the family of 6 descend on
the vigil to chat. Most recently they were in Detroit. He
got laid off. She, with 4 kids aged 3 to 7 was a stay at home mom.

Now, they are homeless. It gets worse. They are in DC cuz 10 years
or more ago he was convicted of a felony. She is Canadian. Turns
out she will be sent back to Canada cuz as a felon - clean for 10
years or more: A. he can't sponsor her; B. neither US or Canada will
let him go to Canada. (God, please save us from this Christian
nation.)

For a family with all the supports a family should have, this family is wonderful.
But under their atrocious circumstances, that they are so kind, well behaved,
positive (so far) is unimaginable. They spend their days on Capitol
Hill and among the NGOs trying to get help. NOTHING so far. They
wear sandwich boards telling of their story and so far, receive
donations each day enough for a $70/night motel.

They need someone(s) to help them stay together.

Your brother,

Avaaz.org - The World in Action Dear all,

Wow. Monday's Wake Up call was unbelievable - 2632 events in 134 countries, tens of thousands of phone calls crashing government lines, unbelievable creativity and diversity of events, directly reaching heads of state and cabinet ministers from Australia to Europe. Words can't describe it -- this video gets close:

Click here to watch the video.
The Wake Up call was covered by hundreds of major news outlets and made the evening news everywhere from Germany to New Zealand. Europe's environment chief praised "the mobilisation of so many people by Avaaz.org", the UK Prime Minister became the first major world leader to agree to our demand to go to Copenhagen and said that with "the pressure that can brought by organizations like yours...what people think is impossible can become possible". The Spanish environment minister called the action "extraordinary".

World leaders have heard us. But as Tuesday's UN summit showed, one day of action won't be enough to get real progress on climate. We need to come back again and again, louder and louder, until we get a fair, ambitious and binding climate treaty.

We'll keep the pressure high through the TCKTCKTCK campaign until Copenhagen, with another global day of action on October 24th, and start planning right now for the LARGEST CLIMATE MOBILIZATION IN HISTORY ON DECEMBER 12th, in the final days of the Copenhagen negotiations.

Avaaz is now 3..6 million members strong in 14 languages, in every country of the world. On Monday, our movement took a huge step forward -- we showed that we can not only send millions of messages to leaders or donate millions to worthy causes, but that in just a few days we can flood the streets and crash phone lines from Mexico City to Mumbai.

If we stick together, anything is possible.

With hope and excitement for the future,

Ricken, Ben, Paul, Milena, Alice, Luis, Brett, Taren, Margaret, Iain, Pascal, Graziela, Paula, Benjamin, Rajeev, Veronique, Raluca, Julius, Yuri, Saravanan, Vladimir, Tihomir, Sam, Emma and the whole Avaaz team

PS - the video above was made from over 10,000 wake up call pictures and 600 videos uploaded to Avaaz in just 24 hours! There were many tears among people making the video as we saw the amazing dedication of everyone, from the Avaaz community to our TCKTCKTCK campaign partners to people joining the first climate action of their lives.

US Right and Left - the two faces of Entropy - Death.

Except for the 1 in a million on each side that are True,
the US Right and Left are the two faces / agents of
Entropy - Death:

* The Right: Overtly and aggressively embrace entropy,
regression to an earlier state.

* The Left: Aggressively embrace the "IDEA" of growth /
progress but in action (InAction) embrace the status quo - Entropy,
Death, cuz Change requires energy, courage, risk and commitment.
Nah.

We are in deep trouble.

Can one be Saved, Reborn to Full Life / Humanity? Some indicators:

* One yearns for a life that feels like that of Jesus, Gandhi, Teresa, King, Romero,
Eleanor Roosevelt, Lincoln....
* One couldn't imagine choosing to stay within The Matrix.
* In the movie Contact, one would choose to be Jodi Foster.
* One admires, has an affinity with, the military.
* One too would have run into the twin towers.

Why the Public Option is dead, and why the Rethugs will come back to power.

Re: Why the Public Option is dead, and why the Rethugs will come back to power,

Because the Left / Democrats / Progressives are the Party of ENDLESS EXCUSES,

The Proof: This is the headline in the Leading Progressive Blog:

Dem activists aren't complacent, they're pissed 9/26
http://www.americablog.com/2009/09/dem-activists-arent-complacent-theyre.html

Still don't see it? Well it goes right along side these total "looser" headlines:

* Dad won't pull his son from a burning car cuz he is pissed
(that no one stopped to help him).

* Mom won't feed her kids cuz she's pissed (that food prices are so high).

* Man stays home from work, loses job and house cuz he's pissed
(at his boss).

* Man keeps taking drugs cuz he's pissed (that his wife isn't being
nice to him).

* Dem activists aren't complacent, they're pissed 9/26

You see it now, right!?!?!?!?!?

It is not too late. Yet.

Life IS Unity with the Essential Truths of Life; or it is not "Life"

"God [Good] is Love, Life and Truth," Gandhi said.

(This is not my most concise, finished or clear writing, but is among the more
important.)

Human Life (metabolism) happens because of the Unity between
what the "True" environment demands, what the body Truly needs,
and the ability of the DNA to Truly represent and deliver the Truth of that.

If the DNA loses its ability to Truly deliver on that (mutations) Life ceases.

On a more macro level our nervous system has the experience of Life, so accute
that we exclaim it as "Life," when we are most in unity with the "realities"
of Extreme Human Demands and Needs. The firefighters that rushed
in to save on 9/11, a mountain climber 6 hours up a sheer rock face,
or a Michelangelo totally possessed by the realities of the Sistine Chapel's,
his own, and his audience's needs.

Death (physical and emotional) occurs to the degree that separation happens
between us and "reality," particularly separation from the "reality," the
Truth of the pain and suffering of the least of these our human Family.

Jesus was aLive. Gandhi, Teresa, Eleanor Roosevelt, Neo, Morpheus....
Scrooge came aLive - was reborn.

What Obama faces on our behalf Aragorn would RUN FROM

Gary Cooper and High Noon, for the last time.

And we sit and watch, as Obama fights for us.

He confronts the military / US Insane over Afghanistan.

He confronts the US Insane over Health Care.

He confronts the military / US Insane over Nuc disarmament.

He confronts the military / US Insane over Honduras.

He confronts the military / US Insane over embrace of the UN.

He confronts the Financial Elite over regulation, Taxes, Social expenditures....

Etc....................................................................................................

And we sit, fricking watch, criticize, whine.... God damn US to Hell. (And
It is.)

Imagine post appocalypse how we might pervert Einstein.

Imagine post apocalypse how we might pervert Einstein.

Put on your scientific hat for a moment. Imagine post
apocalypse how we might pervert Einstein. Think
Mad Max Thunderdome, or that Star Trek episode where
a post-apocalypse race possessed the the US Constitution
but having lost the knowledge of reading perverted it into
a "Religion," of gibberish, dogma, domination, hatred,
mumbo-jumbo - "We thup tista," they would chant, over
in the place of what we would read as "We the people...."

Post apocalypse in this way we probably would have a
book of Einstein on an alter, sprinkle holy water over
it, have chants, incantations, etc, etc, etc. But we
would no longer practice, understand or implement what
he taught.

I give you the Teachings of Jesus in His Word and Deed.
Today what the "Church" promulgates is Ritual, Dogma,
Hatred, Division... when what Jesus Authored was SIMPLY
Universal Love, PERIOD, by whatever name.

I do wish I were being cruel in this, or mean, cynical,
satirical.... No. This is the hideous, murderous,
deadly reality; the Error (Sin) from which we are not likely
to recover.

We've almost no time left to recover.

Life denying trick of the mind: THE CASUAL PROUNOUNCEMENT OF "GOOD," AND THE LIKE.

"The (?)" Life denying trick of the mind: THE CASUAL PRONOUNCEMENT OF "GOOD,"
as SUBSTITUTE for the actual STATE OF BEING, OR NOT. Casually - "he is good,"
or "I am good...." Murder.

Good is a way of being, a state of being, or NOT.

Brain surgeon is a way of being, or NOT (if in fact of my BEING I am NOT).

Marine is a way of being, or NOT (if in fact of my BEING I am not).

MLK Jr. was GOOD. Teresa of Calcutta was GOOD. Gandhi was GOOD.
Eleanor Roosevelt was GOOD. ALL BABIES are born to be GOOD.

Start Loving may or may not have the potential to be Marine, or to be Brain Surgeon.
POTENTIAL IS NOT STATE OF BEING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Start Loving always had the potential to "BE" GOOD. For most of his life he chose
to NOT "BE" GOOD. Yes, he had goodness within him - the potential. Occasionally
he dabbled in BEing GOOD, but that did not make his state, his WAY OF BEING - GOOD.

We are born GOOD, the same way a healthy cell is born healthy - to be dedicated
to the work of the body. But Start Fell away from that DEDICATION TO GOOD.

HE HAS CLIMBED BACK TOWARDS IT - GOOD - HEAVEN.

A seminary professor was vacationing

with his wife in Gatlinburg , TN.

One morning, they were eating breakfast at

a little restaurant, hoping to enjoy a quiet,

family meal. While they were waiting for

their food, they noticed a distinguished

looking, white-haired man moving from table

to table, visiting with the guests.

The professor leaned over and whispered to

his wife, 'I hope he doesn't come over here.'

But sure enough, the man did come over

to their table.

'Where are you folks from?'

he asked in a friendly voice.

' Oklahoma ,' they answered.

'Great to have you here in Tennessee ,'

the stranger said..

'What do you do for a living?'

'I teach at a seminary,' he replied.

'Oh, so you teach preachers how to preach, do

you? Well, I've got a really great story for you.'

And with that, the gentleman pulled up a chair

and sat down at the table with the couple.

The professor groaned and thought to himself,

'Great .. Just what I need ....

another preacher story!'

The man started, 'See that mountain over there?

(pointing out the restaurant window).

Not far from the base of that mountain,

there was a boy born to an unwed mother.

He had a hard time growing up, because

every place he went, he was always asked

the same question,

'Hey boy, Who's your daddy?'

Whether he was at school, in the grocery

store or drug store, people would ask the

same question, 'Who's your daddy?'

He would hide at recess and lunch time from

other students. He would avoid going in to

stores because that question hurt him so bad.

'When he was about 12 years old, a new

preacher came to his church. He would

always go in late and slip out early to

avoid hearing the question,

'Who's your daddy?'

But one day, the new preacher said the

benediction so fast that he got caught and

had to walk out with the crowd.

Just about the time he got to the back door,

the new preacher, not knowing anything

about him, put his hand on his shoulder

and asked him, 'Son, who's your daddy?'

The whole church got deathly quiet.

He could feel every eye in the church looking

at him Now everyone would finally know the

answer to the question, 'Who's your daddy?'

'This new preacher, though, sensed the

situation around him and using discernment

that only the Holy Spirit could give,

said the following to that scared little boy..

'Wait a minute! I know who you are!

I see the family resemblance now,

You are a child of God.'

With that he patted the boy on his shoulder

and said, 'Boy, you've got a great inheritance.

Go and claim it.'

'With that, the boy smiled for the first time in

a long time and walked out the door a changed

person. He was never the same again.

Whenever anybody asked him,

'Who's your Daddy?' he'd just tell them ,

'I'm a Child of God..''

The distinguished gentleman got up from

the table and said, 'Isn't that a great story?'

The professor responded that it really

was a great story!

As the man turned to leave, he said,

'You know, if that new preacher hadn't told

me that I was one of God's children, I probably

never would have amounted to anything!'

And he walked away..

The seminary professor and his wife were

stunned. He called the waitress over & asked

her, 'Do you know who that man was -- the

one who just left that was sitting at our table?'

The waitress grinned and said, 'Of course.

Everybody here knows him. That's Ben Hooper.

He's governor of Tennessee !'

Someone in your life today needs a reminder

that they're one of God's children!

'The grass withers and the flowers fall,

but the word of God stands forever.' ~~Isaiah

YOU'RE ONE OF GOD'S CHILDREN!!!
HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Truth is manifest in our behavior - or Truth remains Unknown, Invisible, Hidden.

This is the function of constructive non-violent, non-hostile action -
to show the superior power of the Truth-of-what-is-Good for Humanity.

There is no other way to make the Truth manifest.

Every other way besides LIVING THE TRUTH proves the Lie;
Proves / Manifests / Embodies that which is Wrong.

THIS IS YOU, AND ME: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Yes, I've "gotten" this story since I was young, but really only
in the last few days am I "getting it."

From a note to one of my profoundly sheroic sisters who is
being persecuted by her community for her works of Love:

Remember the story Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde? Now at
the surface, of course I got it long ago. But the important
implications just hit me.

Each of these two minds are entirely different - they
DON'T SEE THE SAME THINGS, THEY DON'T INTERPRET
THE SAME WAY, THEIR VALUES ARE ENTIRELY DIFFERENT,
AND THEY CAN'T SEE OR UNDERSTAND ONE ANOTHER.
YET THEY RESIDE IN THE SAME BODY.
Their EYES work different. The pair of one sees a set of things,
the pair of the other DOES NOT SEE those things, but sees others,
literally.
Their EARS work different. Fundamentally.
Their MIND works different. Fundamentally.
THAT'S US!!!!!!!

These folks that so horrify you - they are crazy, sick,
insane - they are Mr. Hyde. My point isn't to excuse them,
but to diagnose them. They ARE FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT
THAN YOU IN EVERY WAY. In a way, they can't help it -
it is a form of classic addiction - of the most dangerous,
murderous kind.

Teresa, King, Gandhi, Jesus... simply are Saved from their
Mr. Hyde, and died to save Us as well. This is our work, or
the world is doomed.

They look like Humans, but they are not. The vast majority
of our brothers and sisters look like humans, but by the
time they are in their late teens, they are not.

almost every fact - but we agreed entirely on what matters - commitment,
compassion, hard work, sacrifice for others. They are fighters. I'm

and we'd arrive at the same set of facts.

If the potential 60's marchers had ruled out ACTION BY THEMSELVES, PER SE?

[I wish the following were just some idealogical rant, rather than the Truth.]

Imagine if the potential 60's marchers had ruled-out ACTION BY THEMSELVES PER SE?

Why the Left is Defeated already:

1. By definition of their behavior and mind-set, about which they are intransigent,
the Left holds themselves entirely irresponsible for whatever is happening.
By definition - it is the fault of Congress, the President, and or the Right - NEVER
THEMSELVES! Thereby they have ruled out ACTION by THEMSELVES -
PER SE. From today's Left no equivalent of - CIVIL RIGHTS MARCHERS, LABOR
ACTIVISTIONS, SALT MARCH....

2. The RIGHT WINS BY DEFAULT IN THE ABSENCE OF ACTION FROM THE LEFT
(or Middle) - exactly because Entropy, the 2nd
Law of Thermodynamics wins by default. The position of the Right
is Regression - Regression to a simpler, earlier state of social organization
is EASIER, requires LESS ENERGY - IS WHAT HAPPENS without the CONSTANT
excertions of ACTION from the Left - or Center. The Right IS the EMBODYMENT OF THE
2nd law of Thermodynamics - they win by default.

3. To synthesize 1 & 2 - the "L" masses (Lazy Lipservice Liberal Left) insists that
its only and primary weapon is LIPSERVICE - and LIPSERVICE always
loses to LIFESERVICE - and the Right, as degenerate as it is (BECAUSE
it as degenerate as it is!!!) rises to LIFESERVICE when the status
quo is threatened.

Now the L's whipping boy Obama, HE, DESPITE them, fashioned a
coalition from the Middle to win the election. OUR ONLY HOPE is that he can, again
without the LifeService of the "L's" advance his agenda, even overcoming
all the "L" rocks, drag and diversion.
