Obama Works – Imagine the Possibilities
This is what I imagine when I think about the Obama campaign and what they have accomplished in terms of grass-roots participation. Tons of energy is being poured into voter registration, getting out the vote, and calling voters. Imagine that energy being poured into improving communities in small, significant ways. A group of young people in Philadelphia did just that, and are calling on all of us to do the same.
This is the power of the people at its positive best. This is what happens when inspiration hits. Music is written in many different keys, some of it recorded, some of it played live, all of it inspiring, all of it a credit to the person who is offering hope and inspiration. I’m trying to think of some specific way a similar project could be started and carried out here? Is anyone else? Leave suggestions or comments about what you’re doing.
