On 4th of July, Can You Celebrate Your Own Freedom?

Sandra Noble — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 22:07:47 +0000

We in the United States are starting our 4th of July holiday, also known as Independence Day. And like any holiday, what is it all about? Since the Declaration of Independence was adopted on July 4, 1776, this holiday weekend, Americans are celebrating freedom. The Fourth of July is considered the birthday of the United States of America, so it’s time to party, and picnic and play.

But Independence Day is not the only day to celebrate freedom, emancipation or independence. Learn the history of some of the other celebration in the article "When Do You Celebrate Freedom, Emancipation or Independence Day?"

there’s a talk radio station that has a segment called “Free Your Mind Friday”. It’s especially pertinent today as we go into the American freedom celebrating holiday. But free your mind is actually more to the point. As individuals we can be free my mastering ourselves. It was an incredible demonstration and victory for Nelson Mandela to emerge from years of imprisonment in his right mind and without bitterness. Mastering oneself is true freedom.

“For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.”
Nelson Mandela

Is There A Green Plan Americans Can Agree On?

Are Politicians Doing Their Jobs?

The United States is in trouble – economically and one could argue politically as well. The U.S. Congress is a wonderful legislative system, in theory. But. politics has become a dirty word. The political news would suggest that the system has gone awry. Regardless of political party, both Republicans and Democrats seem to be more focused on business of politics and being re-elected than they are on the best of doing what’s best for the country. Now the political campaigns are underway. Incumbent candidates are trying to convince the American people that the public’s interests and needs and wants have been served. And of course, that they will do better next time.

A Sustainable Future?

I love my country. Despite the negative political news, the United States government has lots of pluses. I want myself and all other Americans to survive and thrive. What’ the best way of having a sustainable future for the United States? Recycle!

Consider the idea of replacing them all and starting fresh.

Is it a green plan we can agree on?
Is this a change we can believe in?

I got an email that says it all…

Green Plan

GOAL FOR 2010 A great idea for 2010!!!!Let’s make it happen!

Finally, a Green Plan we can all get behind.

terms;

one in office, one in federal prison.

I wish I had thought of this!!

Barack Obama is Proof Positive: We Have Overcome!

Those of us over 50 should remember…

Anyone with more than 1/40th black blood was considered black and was subject to the discrimination that was directed toward blacks or Negroes. All of us in the nation watched the news and TV coverage of black people being beaten and dragged and water hosed, just because they wanted to have the same rights as white Americans.

Barack Obama is now the 44th President of the United States of America. We have overcome. Not just the Negro, the black, the African American. But the entire United States nation has overcome. Yes, there are the bigots and racists. There will always be narrow minded people. But bigotry and racism does not define us as a nation anymore. No longer does bigotry, racism and prejudice drive our policies and actions and laws.

The hot issue now is the recession and our economic woes. And the ripple effects are felt globally. Putting politics aside, I’m hoping the country can focus on the business of healing our economy. Barack Obama is our new president and leader, but he cannot solve problems alone. We all must help with the restoration to economic health.

President Barack Hussein Obama:
We love you, we bless you, we support you. I know the nation joins me in wishing you well.

Mr. President, make us proud!
