Show time !!! May your voice be heard !!!

Driving down the road,

darting within and without the shadows of some trees that have gone dormant whilst others are still as yet charged with an absolutely stunning exuberance of color,

I was reminded of our very, glorious diversity, and ponder the possibility that we could once again consider celebrating, instead of foolishly judging. Being forever mindful, in full consideration of our wondrous potential embracement of all our other varying, somewhat, and curious all too human frailties.

As a maternally 13th generational American, I'm entirely fatigued by the false patriotism masked under flag pins and faux jingoism, war mongering, that all too often masquerades as integrity, nationalism, honor, in the absence of and thoroughly bereft of any true accountability or real genuine concern.

We all commonly have both things in our shared histories of which to be proud, and deeds of which to be entirely ashamed.

In this land once lauded as being the land of the lively discussion, the antiquated and dualistic labels of "liberal" and "conservative" are overly simplistic and quite myopic. Dualistic shouting matches comprise and persist to be nothing more than major yawn fests.

Thank the "creatrix" for the internet to persist in continuing to exude at least a margin of some and many more truths. Phew.

Conservative compassion ism is and always was, an oxymoron when compassion is truly an attribute to which frugality could never possibly apply.

Once again : two reprisals. . .

We, the people,

find ourselves in quite the national stew.

Ever mindful of the fact that all our recent elections have been more than a little, slightly askew.

So perhaps we can take a moment and try to re-construe,

and perhaps we can just agree on just a thing or two.

Despite what our corporate overlords perpetrate, there is far more that unites us than that which divides us.

The "family values" ruse is especially annoying and entirely passe, when though we all may have issues, no one is in actuality anti-family, any more than anyone is anti-freedom. What are they "oppression and isolation loving" or something . . .?

Bereft of truly representative leadership for far too long, may tolerance, appreciation, and true compassion, eclipse all unconsciously contrived shadow projection, divisiveness, and hatred.

I heard a report on Sunday on the "rahdio." It was from the guy who created the "http://community.beliefnet.com/index.php?page_id=1000&s... ."

He was talking about how people often cite the "Founders" as if what they said was absolute, when in effect, it was an enlightened, on going vigorous discussion. which was incredibly diverse, especially in terms of the issue of separation of church and state. It was really quite intriguing and somewhat baffling.

Furthermore, that inasmuch the vote tallying mechanisms of our beloved country have been co-opted repressed by unethical partisans for several years and our corporate media has its own ever tiresome self promoting agenda, It is thereby overwhelmingly utterly useless, more than often salacious, disingenuous, and a thoroughly unreflective obfuscated lens through which to view the world,

Maybe, just maybe, these awarenesses, can bring us to a place that is far clearer, than fogged by the realm of tears, media, and pharmaceutically induced apathetic oblivion.

Maybe consider that the prospect of imagining, that despite all these nefarious and oppressive influences, we can effect the outcome of this current election to some degree with our hearts and our minds, and let our voices be heard.

Here is a slightly modified reprise of something I foolishly crafted during the midterms which you may or may not have seen before.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x7694541

Psssssssssst. . . .

This may seem completely irrational but here's something simple we all can do. . .

Every time you feel the possible intense sorrow, anger, or frustration about anticipating the possibility of yet another contrived defeat, consider stiffening your spine, focusing your mind, and saying aloud or thinking really loudly and firmly. . .

"I'm creating with spirit that any malicious code implanted or hidden in the vote tally counting software be neutralized during this election, and any malfeasance that does occur be so blatant that it will be exposed and corrected immediately, so that the true will of the people will be revealed registered, and real justice can be re-established." That furthermore, any repression or disenfranchisement of voters be mollified by the higher conscience of, and benevolence of truly heart centered souls who are working the polls,

That hope will eclipse fear. That truth will eclipse obfuscation. That freedom will eclipse tyranny. That pacifism and honor will eclipse the short sighted, and utterly loathsome will of the "military industrial complex."

Or perhaps, "I'm creating with spirit that this election will be fair and reflective of the actual will of the vast majority the people."

(feel free to modify as you feel is appropriate)

You see very simply, if they can rig 'em maybe we can fix 'em. . .with our hearts and minds.

If there is any facet of technology that could be influenced by consciousness it would more than likely be computers.

Most of us have personally experienced inexplicable technical anomalies in the past.

Of course it sounds irrational but so are those in power. They have consistently refuted all rational tools and arguments, even when based on heaps of compelling evidence, and have done so with presumed impunity and no accountability for nearly 8 years if you haven't noticed.

That frigging caribou fashion whore and sadist is a bloody simplistic creationist who is antithetical to anything pro-active for women or the environment to say nothing of the far more wiser wolf world Not to mention her insanely cruel financial punishment of rape victims. Talk about adding insult to injury. Sheesh.

She giggles over killing animals and is clearly beyond any degree of decency, humanity, or sincerity.

How wholesome is an alleged "hockey mom" who's kid get judicially ordered to go to Iraq and who's other kid is knocked up at 16. . .?

Yikes.

McSame is simply deranged for obvious innumerable reasons (hint: long term PTSD)

Riddle me this: What makes a guy who kept crashing planes, got taken hostage for 5 years, makes propaganda films for the "enemy", a dude that can win wars. Quite the winning strategy. . .? /sarcasm

But more generally, the powers that be persist in, simply dismissing and marginalizing progressive claims as being "reality based."

TRANSLATION: They are using low level magic and mind control. They are masterful at "group think." We have not been so but perhaps we can focus at least for the next 2 days or so. Their orientation is based on falsehood and fear and intimidation whereas if we draw from truth and love and humor, can you imagine what may be possible. . ?

Having approached the issue of election integrity from every imaginable traditional angle for 6 years, and having written to every pundit, plutocrat, and politician of whom I could think, to virtually no avail, this may be one method of recourse that won't take years of legislative and legal wrangling to remedy this most perilous situation.

ENOUGH ALREADY !!!

It's worth a shot I figure and certainly worth the investment of a moment or two.

Oh and it was suggested to me that I include a visualization for those who are more visually oriented as well. Consider visualizing Obama taking his oath of office on the Capital steps with his lovely wife and thoroughly adorable kids.

"nam-myoho-renge-kyo"

p.s. This is in no way, shape, or form, meant to minimize the more important and conventionally traditional methods of activism. We can truly walk and chew bubble gum simultaneously. So there.

Here's some lovely old and relatively new shared inspiration. . .

Consider having a rewarding election after long last.

3. Thanks sweetie
this is way-y-y too long and quite rushed but maybe just maybe it's a done deal thanks to helderheid's intrepid efforts.

Let's hope upon hope.

I'm off for the day.

7. E-DAY !
Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen of the DEMOCRATS FOR CHANGE Force !

You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have
striven these EIGHT YEARS. The eyes of the world are upon you. The
hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you.
In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on
other Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the REPUBLICAN war
machine, the elimination of NEO-CON tyranny over the oppressed peoples of
THE WORLD, and security for ourselves in a free world.

Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well
equipped and battle hardened. He will fight savagely.

But this is the year 2008! Much has happened since the CONSERVATIVE
triumphs of 2000-2004. The DEMOCRATS WILL INFLICT upon the REPUBLICAN
great defeats, in THE VOTING BOOTHS, VOTER-BY-VOTER. Our GROUND offensive
WILL seriously reduced their strength in CONGRESS and their capacity
to wage war on the ground.

Our GRASS-ROOTS have given us an overwhelming superiority in TURN-OUT,
and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained VOLUNTEERS.

The tide has turned! The free men AND WOMEN of the UNITED
STATES are marching together to Victory!

I have full confidence in your courage and devotion to duty and skill in
battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory!

Good luck! And let us beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great
and noble undertaking.
