Finally!

After losing two jobs in a row due to the shit economy, I am so happy to have Barack Obama finally picked as the Democratic candidate for President.

In fact some of my first paycheck will go to his campaign.

I think it is great all of the action campaigns that we in the U.S. participate in globally. We have done great things in helping 3rd world countries, contributed to education and medical services abroad and educated our fellow citizens of the atrocities of the governments of Rawanda, Sudan and Myanmar. I am proud of us. To jump on my soapbox, a box I continue to jump on consistently throughout my blogs and my life, is that I think we need to act locally for a few months. Especially now.

If any of you have not seen the story on 60 minutes called "Lifeline" I invite you to watch it now. If you do not feel like watching it, It is about a group called RAM (Remote Area Medical)who are a group of volunteer doctors and nurses who go abroad to provide health care to the uninsured worldwide. What is very telling, is that RAM is doing more and more of its missions in the United States.

I know that Obama is not for Universal Health care, but his plan is much better than we have now, where millions of people are uninsured. Including myself.

It is sad the number of people in the United States who are lining up for food lines. If you have seen the news lately you will see that a gallon of milk is now as much as a gallon of gas. More and more Americans are deciding between milk and gas.


If you feel like giving support to the Obama campaign you should, even if it is $5. You know the Republicans have an bottomless pit o' money, so any little bit can help.

Go to www.barackobama.com

If you feel moved by the 60 minutes on RAM, like I was, please goto the website already highlighted to donate, they only run on donations and the small amount the people who benefit from their services can give.

If you do not want Americans to go hungry either please go to to America's Second Harvet and donate time, money or food.

As human beings we have the power to end suffering, it is up to you to choose how you do it.

Now digest that over your morning coffee.
