An election prayer.

[Wapsie B]

12/12/00 The day we had victory taken from us by a well-organized band of theives masquarading as politicians. A goon-squad of gop operatives strong-armed their way into election offices in Florida intent on stopping the recount of votes. But on 12/12/00 a SCOTUS ruling for the ages gave the election to George Walker Bush.

On Tuesday we have an opportunity to take our country back. As I go to bed tonight I'm saying a little prayer.
"Give us strength Lord, that we may do what is needed to make things right in our country and in our world again. Help us take the first step towards bringing this country together under a strong leader. Let us be helpful to those in need. Help us to keep the faith.


12/12/00. Never forget.

3. An election visualization

So with only a few days left, we need to focus on what we really,
really want. Let's join together for 60 Seconds a Day.To turn the tide
now, we need to do something unstoppable. We need a critical mass of us to
stop railing against what is and reach for what we want. What do we want?
We want John Kerry as our next President.

Give up focusing on George Bush. We don't have to agree with him or
support him in any fashion. Instead, we have to turn our thoughts now to
something greater. We have to do something unstoppable. In the legacy of
Einstein and all great thinkers, we have to harness the power of our
thoughts to get the outcome we desire in November. If only 3 percent of
theU.S.population takes 60 seconds to do this exercise every day, we can
make a massive difference.
This is how it works: for 60 seconds each day visualize John Kerry
elected as our next President of the United States. See the celebrations
and excitement and sense of fulfillment all acrossAmerica. See yourself
rejoicing with people in your home, neighborhood, and workplace. See us
all rejoicing with people all over the world! See John Kerry being sworn
into office. Feel the hope, joy, and gratitude. Feel it in your hearts.
Now, imagine John Kerry restoring greater well-being inAmerica. See people
streaming back to work. See young children getting the support they
need. Visualize our teachers, police officers, single mothers, the
mentally ill, and many others getting the help they deserve. See our
soldiers coming home to their families. Imagine our leaders establishing
greater trust and good will with other nations. See peace spreading
across the world. See theIraq conflict
ending. Feel how good it will be for the environment to be protected and
renewed. See hope rising across the world in the hearts and souls of all
of us. See these pictures in your mind for 60 seconds every between now
and November. Be grateful that you have the gift of participating in
shaping a greater country. Be grateful that you care. Believe that all
this is possible -- and more! And be sure to vote!
Pass this on to six more people. 60 Seconds a Day 'til the
election! "
