a room, then it can change a city, and if one voice can change a city, then it can change a state, and if one voice can change a state then it can change a nation, and if can change a nation, it can change the world. Your voice can change the world." President Barack Obama
I have the cd from his campaign called "Yes We Can" I love it; the music is great and there are many excerpts of him saying his words while campaigning, the quotes are woven in with the music.
A couple of days ago, in passing, I saw a news story on NBC about a little girl who is using social media to speak out against war and to plea for peace. Perhaps this isn't new news to some people but I was unaware of it. In the brief coverage I saw, I thought this little girl - her name is
Bana al-Abed - to me at least, was like a much younger modern day Anne Frank with a living diary (i.e., social media). Amazing!
If it were in my power I would immediately give her what she asks for, the end to the war that threatens and terrorizes her and her local world. I would give her peace. I have no idea how, if that were even possible, I could make that happen. And since that is beyond the realm of possibility for me, I wonder what other action I could take to help further her cause? Again, I do not know, but what a brave and smart girl and what a wonderful spirit she has. Her story touched my heart.

Thanks for posting this fine read AmericanActivist
With you, I hope he will remain in public life. He is an incredible community organizer, brilliant speaker, and a wonderful soul with excellent character. Although, I would forego his leadership as an activist if he becomes a Supreme Court Justice.
Peace
