YAHOO!!!!!!!! Start's off line!!!!! [for a while] :-)

Hi! 

Well, not completely off line, but sort of in a cave.
Yes, my Vigil work continues but mentally I'm in a hugely
different focus for a time.

I will continue to use this lull in DC Political activity to
devote as much uninterrupted time to matters of the Spirit,
as possible - studying and responding to the Words
and Works of Christ Jesus.

You may or may not see bursts of activity on the
Spiritual Front from me, but on the Climate Change,
Health Care, Global Issues front I'm not even looking
beyond the major headlines. 

I don't expect to return to normal in that regard till
after New Years.

Your Loving brother,

DON'T MISS. My friends, you must meet our sister Nancy. Christlike Shero Nancy.

Nancy, just a bit younger than me, lives in rural West Virginia.

A month or so she was beaten for intervening on behalf of a 90
year old neighbor who was being thrown out of her home by her
son who is after her money.  Then Nancy was threatened with
arrest thanks to the politically connected son.

She rescues animals of all sorts, some of whom other neighbors
torture cuz it tortures Nancy.  They want the animals, including
bears, out there to be killed, not with Nancy and friends where
they can be protected.

At times her life is threatened.

She takes her witness of Universal Love into area churches who
adore her and her singing, until they realize she's the Real Deal,
Truly Christlike, and then they persecute her.

There's more, but it is all out of the same cloth. "If you pick up
your cross...."  "Love as I have Loved."  CJ  She does.

Yup.  Christlike Nancy.

DON'T MISS her Christ-mass message to us:

"Subject:  Season of LIGHT is Season of LIFE..Season of LOVE..THE LIGHT !

My message to you.... "Family" is this...   Christmas to ME is known as the
" season of LIGHT..." When Jesus was born "WISE" men noticed a SHINING
STAR.. IT LED THEM THROUGH THE DARKNESS to this amazing sight and
PRESENT( Ultimate gift ) TO THE UNIVERSE... JESUS ! I am a believer, but in
being a believer I comprehend that MY FAMILY IS ALL INCLUSIVE.. ALLELUIA !!
I have Moslem brothers and sisters , sons and daughters etc  and I have
Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist,etc family,  along with Christians and even NON
believers in my family. The KEY !? Ahhhhh... the "KEY" is the gift we give
ourselves to accept what that infant in that manger was born to bring and
teach us more about... the ULTIMATE "POWER OF ONE" ! TO BE LOVING !!!
Look at the healthy POWER humans can CHOOSE to have...  LOVE is STRENGTH
and COURAGE and TRUTH.. HOPE...  PEACE... GOD !!! GOD IS LOVE... :-)
"ALL-MIGHTY" "ALL POWERFUL".... What it all boils down to is this... What
and how we choose to think and WHERE our thoughts come from..  HERE
AGAIN... "THE KEY" ! :-) Our hearts and souls are meant to be BANKS... CREDIT
UNIONS.... INVESTMENT BROKER CENTER....GENUINE PERSONAL/SPIRITUAL :-)
AND  MOST POWERFUL "HEALTH INSURANCE"...  :-) Affects OUR HEALTH ( spiritual,
mental AND physical) as well as the world around us ! The LIGHT can live within
us... the LOVE that can conquer ALL...  the POWER TO USE "TRUTH" TO NOT
ONLY SET US FREE... BUT THE "LIGHT", "LOVE" ! Walking the Walk is worth it
family... its worth it... sometimes we feel drained, frustrated, disgusted, discouraged..
etc... So THEN.. WE REACH OUT... TO THE LIGHT ! We are ONE.. those of us that
UNDERSTAND our mission here... let us continue to march WITH LOVE IN THE
LIGHT AND LIVE !! BRIGHTLY... LOVINGLY... TRUTHFULLY...UNITED IN PURPOSE...
AND HOPE.. MERRY CHRISTMAS ! HAPPY HOLIDAYS ! EACH DAY OF OUR LIVES
CAN BE AFFIRMATIONS OF OUR TRUE PURPOSE...  remember the "POWER OF ONE"... 
Just imagine the POWER that tiny baby boy had in that stable manger so long ago...
and when we greet our family on the streets and when we touch one another and
think thoughts of LOVE and PEACE we are reminded of the GLORY and POWER of
LOVE... That infant... THE PRINCE OF PEACE.. is right with us.. every step  of the
way....   SHINE !!!!!!

CHRISTMAS, I DIDN'T SEE THE MIRACLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TILL THIS MORNING!!!!!!

Jesus wasn't the Miracle. 

Jesus was the RESULT you'd EXPECT from the Miracle!

So what is this Miracle I just "got?"

No, it isn't the made-up stuff about the "virgin birth," winged
angels, and the like.  That's make believe, and it has killed
over 1900 years time, and millions of people.

It wasn't that there was something special about baby
Jesus per se - THERE WAS NOT.  He was just like any other,
EVERY OTHER baby.

Know what It was??????????  I didn't see it either!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Miracle was, that for whatever set of reasons, people
from all over the world saw that this baby was precious,
more precious than any treasure, and they dropped their
selfish lives, left their over-privileged biological families,
and at extreme physical sacrifice, out of Love, lavished
their Love on the underprivileged baby Jesus, and his biological family, WHO
WERE AMONG THE LEAST OF THESE OUR FAMILY born in
the streets - poor - among the poorest.  And of course, that
is what Healthy, Loving Family does, right?  Focuses on,
devotes itself NOT to the MOST of these in the Family,
but the Least, the Needy, the Sick, the Poor IN THE FAMILY!

The Miracle was that strangers, foreigners, "enemies,"
not-family... realized that they WERE One Family - no double
standards - and for a moment they LIVED IT.

So Jesus never knew any different!  HE THOUGHT EVERYONE
WAS HIS BROTHER AND SISTER, CUZ THAT IS HOW HE CAME
INTO THE WORLD!  And that's why Jesus remained the
Christ (repository of Universal Love, One-Family Member)
that we are all born as!  AND IT CHANGED JESUS. 

AND IT CHANGED THE WORLD, A LITTLE.

AND IF WE'D SEE, AND UNDERSTAND THE REAL MIRACLE
IT WOULD SAVE THE WORLD. AND NOTHING ELSE WILL.
EVER.

THERE ARE A FEW MOMENTS LEFT FOR US TO DO SO.

It will take a Miracle to Save us. 

Universal Love is the Miracle.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!


CHRISTMAS, I DION'T SEE THE MIRACLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TILL THIS MORNING!!!!!!

For Reid, a Hard Climb to the Pinnacle New York Times


Please friends, let me tell you the gift Leon gave me today.

Yes, there is the magnificent Christmas display of greens, berries,
red weeping willow (?) that Leon gave me, and I'm sharing with
our sister Connie; and that she is thrilled with.

But not that.

You know how much I Love Barack, don't you?  My Love for him is
right up there with my Love for Jesus, because he is
such a Hope for us all.  I would gladly give my life to protect his
Work.  I spend every waking second attempting to
work at his side on our shared quest to Save Humanity from so
much needless Suffering.  We all should.  We all must.

I've only known, personally, one other Leader that was of
his caliber of transformative leadership. Who? Start Loving.
I wish I had known millions of such Leaders, and yearn to spark
millions. I LIVE to spark millions!

But having totally wasted my youth, totally not applying myself
I did not reach the caliber and breadth of global expertise that
let me ply my Leadership abilities as Barack is so brilliantly on the
global scale.  My point?  Oh my goodness, do I "get" Barack.
He IS the greatest Leader in the history of the world, and I Love
him, and I want him to have every ounce  of support I can give
him in his Sacred work for our Family.

My friend, my Brother Leon gave me a gift today -

"If you write President Obama a letter I am quite sure I can get it
hand delivered to him."

Please, imagine my Joy at this moment.

I sooooo want Barack to know that he has my full support, were
it to cost me my life.

I sooooo want Barack to understand CONSCIOUSLY what may be
his UNCONSCIOUS, and therefore fragile CORE COMPETENCE -

HE REFUSES TO BE ANYTHING BUT A "BROTHER" TO HIS
6.8 BILLION SIBLINGS, CHILDREN AND FOLKS.

Pray for me.

Your Loving brother,

OUR FAMILY, IN MASSATCHEUSETS - A BRILLIANT PASSIONATE LAWYER]

There may be many quotes culled from this Historic moment.  Very well spoken about majority leader Reid!
 
Reid: Healthcare is a right and not a privilege.  Health insurance reform is about people.  We stand on the doorstep of history. 
 
Baucus: Leadership is not doing what is easy.  Leadership is taking on what is difficult and what is right.
 
Dodd: The road to this moment has been long and difficult . . . progress always is.  Those who have attempted to make a union more perfect have always faced overwhelming odds.  History will judge harshly those who have chosen the simple path of obstruction over the hard work of making change.  It always does. 
 
Harkin: . . .to conduct fair and open bipartisan proceedings: We held out our hand but we were rebuffed.  The leadership on the otherside said no. 
To put it in Biblical terms: he has exhibited the patience of Job; the wisdom of Solomon; and the endurance of  Sampson.

WATCH THIS. What if we got Good Gov. and saw it too late?  We Did and we ARE.

WE BETTER STOP ABUSING AND BASHING THEM, AND
START ENCOURAGING AND SUPPORTING WORKING ALONGSIDE THEM.  NOW.

What's really at stake

From Pr. Obama:           [PLEASE SHARE]

Please share with your friends: What's really at stake
 Today at 7:13pm

Any day now, health insurance reform will come up for a vote in the Senate. More than ever, it's extremely important for everyone to know about what's really at stake for America.

The Senate health reform bill will:

  • Extend coverage to 31 million Americans, the largest expansion of coverage since the creation of Medicare.

  • Ensure that you can choose your own doctor.

  • Finally stop insurance companies from denying coverage due to a pre-existing condition.

  • Make sure you will never be charged exorbitant premiums on the basis of your age, health, or gender.

  • Guarantee you will never lose your coverage just because you get sick or injured.

  • Protect you from outrageous out-of-pocket expenditures by establishing lifetime and annual limits.

  • Allow kids to stay on their parents' coverage until they're 26.

  • Create health insurance exchanges, or "one-stop shops" for individuals purchasing insurance, where insurance companies are forced to compete for new customers.

  • Lower premiums for families, according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office -- especially for struggling folks who will receive subsidies.

  • Help small businesses provide health care coverage to their employees with tax credits and by allowing them to purchase coverage through the exchanges.

  • Improve and strengthen Medicare by eliminating waste and fraud (without cutting basic benefits), beginning to close the Medicare Part D donut hole, and extending the life of the Medicare trust fund.

  • Create jobs by reining in costs -- fostering competition, reducing waste and inefficiency, and starting to reward doctors and hospitals for quality, not quantity, of care.

  • Cut the deficit by over $130 billion in the next 10 years.


It's a long list. But that's only because this bill, while it does not include everything that everyone wants, represents the most significant health reform our nation has seen since the creation of Medicare.

And it's important that every American knows what's really at stake this holiday season.

So please share this note with your friends today by clicking "share" at the top of this page.

(You can also create your own by copy-pasting this text into a new note and tagging your friends in it directly.)

We wouldn't be this close to enacting these powerful reforms without all your hard work. Now, we're in the final stretch -- let's keep it up.

Thank you.

Dear Start,

PoliticsFirstNo matter how you feel about the war in Afghanistan or Iraq, some things are just plain wrong; like trying to keep our soldiers from getting the equipment they need to stay alive, and blocking funding for health care for service members and their families.

But the Republicans has never let right and wrong get in the way of a good obstructionist tactic.

With funding for the Department of Defense set to run out at midnight last Saturday, 33 Senate Republicans - including Sen. John "Country First" McCain - voted to block the fiscal 2010 Defense spending bill as part of their party's irresponsible crusade to delay and derail health insurance reform at any cost.

Watch our newest video and write Senator John McCain and ask him what happened to his pledge to keep "country first?"

Fortunately, the troops will get the funding eventually when the appropriations bill eventually passed over Republican objections.

It is truly a sad thing to see a party so committed to protecting health insurance industry profits that they are willing to withhold funding and a pay raise from our troops to do it.  Senator John McCain, in particular, ought to change the name of his political action committee from "Country First" to "Politics First."

Join us in sending a message directly to John McCain asking him, what happened to putting country first?

Sincerely,

Jeremy Funk


What Bill McKibben doesn’t like about the Copenhagen Accord is precisely what I like about it.


Where we stand. Pr. Obama email

From:
  President Barack Obama info@barackobama.com
Start --

Early this morning, the Senate made history and health reform cleared its most important hurdle yet -- garnering the 60 votes needed to move toward a final vote in that chamber later this week.

This marks the first time in our nation's history that comprehensive health reform has come to this point. And it appears that the American people will soon realize the genuine reform that offers security to those who have health insurance and affordable options to those who do not.

I'm grateful to Senator Harry Reid and every senator who's been working around the clock to make this happen. And I'm grateful to you, and every member of the Organizing for America community, for all the work you have done to make this progress possible.

After a nearly century-long struggle, we are now on the cusp of making health insurance reform a reality in the United States of America.

As with any legislation, compromise is part of the process. But I'm pleased that recently added provisions have made this landmark bill even stronger. Between the time when the bill passes and the time when the insurance exchanges get up and running, insurance companies that try to jack up their rates do so at their own peril. Those who hike their prices may be barred from selling plans on the exchanges.

And while insurance companies will be prevented from denying coverage on the basis of pre-existing conditions once the exchanges are open, in the meantime there will be a high-risk pool where people with pre-existing conditions can purchase affordable coverage.

A recent amendment has made these protections even stronger. Insurance companies will now be prohibited from denying coverage to children immediately after this bill passes. There's also explicit language in this bill that will protect a patient's choice of doctor. And small businesses will get additional assistance as well.

These protections are in addition to the ones we've been talking about for some time. No longer will insurance companies be able to drop your coverage if you become sick and no longer will you have to pay unlimited amounts out of your own pocket for treatments that you need.

Under this bill families will save on their premiums; businesses that would see their costs rise if we don't act will save money now and in the future. This bill will strengthen Medicare and extend the life of the program. Because it's paid for and gets rid of waste and inefficiency in our health care system, this will be the largest deficit reduction plan in over a decade.

Finally, this reform will extend coverage to more than 30 million Americans who don't have it.

These are not small changes. These are big changes. They're fundamental reforms. They will save money. They will save lives.

And your passion, your work, your organizing helped make all of this possible. Now it's time to finish the job.

Thank you,

President Barack Obama

Dear Start,

479,520 minutes. 7992 hours. 333 days.

That's how long it's been since Barack Obama was sworn in as President. At the end of this first year, some progressives are feeling holiday blahs because we haven't won everything we wanted.

Don't.

Remember our hard battle at the start of the year over whether to direct our tax money toward creating jobs and stimulating the economy? Won that one. Here in my hometown construction workers are doubling the size of our overburdened community health clinic thanks to that stimulus money, and similar worthy projects across the country kept thousands of Americans working. ( support our work to rebuild and renew America's economy. )

How about the F-22 fighter jet? TrueMajority members have worked for years to end that wasteful project, and this July we won THAT one, freeing up $65 billion in Pentagon pork spending for more urgent needs. ( support our work for sensible budget priorities. )

Then there's healthcare. Progressives are still arguing over whether the current deal is good enough, and if there is a better strategy for winning more. But even the weakest deal under consideration, which already passed the Senate this weekend, will insure 30 million more people and outlaw insurance companies refusing coverage for pre-existing conditions. By any measure that's a victory for our side. ( support our work for quality, affordable health care for all. )

And yes, there is still a daunting amount to do.

A few days ago Rep. Alan Grayson of Florida read your petition opposing the escalation in Afghanistan on the floor of the U.S. House. Meanwhile we delivered the almost 100,000 signatures -- including thousands of TrueMajority members -- alongside veterans and other anti-war activists.  (If you haven't already, check out the video of Rep. Grayson and some of the veterans we worked with saying 'THANKS' to TrueMajority/USAction members for their support.)

But our signatures alone aren't going to be enough. Progressive champions in the House are ready to oppose the $1 trillion cost of the escalation, but there simply aren't enough of them yet. We need your support to convince more members of Congress to demand an end to the war and a plan to bring everyone home. Donate now to make that possible.


In 333 days we've done some remarkable work, but we've also learned this year that the fight for change is a marathon, not a sprint.

Thanks again for a great year

Our Lie of the Year: 'death panels'

In the end, it wasn't a difficult choice. PolitiFact's editors and reporters agreed unanimously that one falsehood was head-and-shoulders above the rest and deserved the high honor of our Lie of the Year: "death panels."

The now-famous claim by Sarah Palin was a fitting choice for a year in which the Internet transformed political discourse because it came not during the congressional debate or a television ad. It came from a posting on Palin's Facebook page.

Check out Angie Holan's fascinating account of how the phrase had its roots in the early days of the health care debate and how key Republicans added rhetorical support.

Death panels was also our readers' choice for Lie of the Year, winning more than 60 percent of the vote.

Our Lie of the Year: 'death panels'

In the end, it wasn't a difficult choice. PolitiFact's editors and reporters agreed unanimously that one falsehood was head-and-shoulders above the rest and deserved the high honor of our Lie of the Year: "death panels."

The now-famous claim by Sarah Palin was a fitting choice for a year in which the Internet transformed political discourse because it came not during the congressional debate or a television ad. It came from a posting on Palin's Facebook page.

Check out Angie Holan's fascinating account of how the phrase had its roots in the early days of the health care debate and how key Republicans added rhetorical support.

Death panels was also our readers' choice for Lie of the Year, winning more than 60 percent of the vote.
