[Peace-discuss] some things AWARE might call on the Obama adminstration to do (for Main Event, and maybe Farmer's Market)

[Neil Parthun]

All -

First, I definitely agree that everything that needs saying in a  
succinct way is a very difficult task.

I don't believe I was condemning actions of the Obama administration  
here before they acted.  I tried to put it as a healthy warning of  
"Don't do X, Y or Z." as a healthy warning after suffering eight long  
years of idiocy, dipshititude and absolute asshattery from the  
Bushistas in regards to foreign policy, domestic policy, et al.  My  
patience at this point is very thin for most any politician, so I may  
have come off a bit stern.  But when one looks at the polls and sees  
such dissatisfaction with our government and the way the country is  
moving, perhaps a little (okay a lot in my case) sternness is  
justified and appropriate.  As with any President, the public needs  
to be rabble-rousing and putting on pressure to make the President do  
anything.  I personally do not hold out much hope for Obama to do  
certain things, but I also see him very susceptible to the public  
pressures inside the country.

I think this flyer assists in giving concrete things we demand from  
an Obama administration and could educate people on what we're FOR  
rather than what we're against.  Plus, with so much messed up in this  
country right now, any pamphlet would be a little long. :)

Live without dead time,

  With the people, for the people, by the people. I crack up when I  
hear it; I say, with the handful, for the handful, by the handful  
because that's what really happens...It's time for America to get right.

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could.  
Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as  
you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with  
too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
