3. OMFG A shark jumps: "The Path of Spiritual Activism"
http://usaservice.org/blog/entry/perfecting_our_legacy/

Perfecting Our Legacy: The Path of Spiritual Activism

...an organization that works to integrate spiritual practice and social change, I believe the path towards this more perfect union is paved with examples of "spiritual activism." Spiritual activism is the inextricable link between the search for meaning and purpose in our own lives and our intrinsic responsibility to look out for one another.


There's even a photo of people laying hands on seeds, or something.

:rofl:

7. Powell wants us to attend torture team meetings and then pretend
we didn't know what was discussed ...and to play science cop with a vial of whatever scares the neighbors into doing as we command.

After that, we have art time...and draw mobile labs of OHMYGODWHATISTHAT?!?!?!

8. Ok Obama.....
Show us the plan that does not entail eternal war and weapons. Show us how you will respect the troops and not waste lives in the name of the corporation. Show us how we will no longer allow children around the world to be slaughtered by weapons that we made and sold and then we can talk about where the line forms to sign up.

9. that site is awesome. I signed up and learned about Portland's "Peoples Inaugural Ball"
Edited on Sat Jan-10-09 06:14 PM by Impeachment_Monkey
on the 20th. It's a free event at a really cool historic venue downtown. I think I'm going.

Lots of other cool local events too. Thanks for your post. ;-)

15. Please, show some respect for the needy and pitch in
Your participation doesn't mean that you agree with Obama and that you feel he is or will be addressing previous torture appropriately. It does mean that you realize that this is not about Obama. It is about thinking about others and giving some of your time on one day to help them. This is an invitation open to all. Please check out the link above. There is an exceptional demand and every single person who participates makes an impact. There are many projects so you can choose what you might like to do. There is also a great opportunity to meet others and maybe talk about some of your hopes for Obama's presidency as well as some of your concerns.

Nobody can force you to participate. However, it would be helpful if people could try to refrain from mockling this effort. There is plenty of space elsewhere on DU to share your frustration with Obama, his staff, his policies, and anythingelse.
