I'm sick of what is said can't be done.

I once laid in a bed enable to move and bearly breathing... but I knew I would. My MOTHER, A SINGLE PARENT watching her child paralyzed, said, he will LIVE and MAKE a difference.

I LIVE AND WILL MAKE THAT DIFFERENCE.

FOR THOSE WHO DOUBT... yes we can.

No one ever notices the changing of the guard... The revolution... Lincoln... Kennedy.

STOP. THINK. FEEL. Time for change.

Today, we must remember who was taken from us and what he fought for...



May we all one day be judged be simply the content of our heart.

MLK quote that has kept me going (especially as someone with a physical disability).
"If you can't fly... run. If you can't run... walk. If you can't walk... crawl. BUT by all means, don't stop moving."

BROTHER MARTIN - I'VE KEPT MOVING ONWARD... AND UPWARD. HOPE AND PEACE.

Today marks the 5th anniversary of our countries occupation of Iraq. This country, which I love, has made some horrible mistakes in its past. Though somewhere towards the top of the list has got to be the election of George W. Bush and allowing him and his cronies to drag us into this war in Iraq. To date thousands have died and billions spent, yet no one in that administration has ever clearly explained why we're there. This morning ABC news aired an interview with V.P. Dick Cheney. The reporter commented to the Vice President "two-thirds of Americans say the fight in Iraq is not worth it," to which Cheney quickly retorted "So." It's that attitude that Bush Republicans have, not only towards its own citizens, but also towards the world as a whole. Republican Presidential nominee John McCain promises more of the same if he's elected. Not totally sure but it seems Bush has manage to kill more Iraqis, in a shorter period, then Saddam. Will history eventually judge these guys as war criminals? I hope so.



A MEDIA OUTLET HERE IN CHICAGO REPORTED THE FOLLOWING:

"Most Americans favor withdrawing the troops. Sixty-four percent say do it now or within a year. Nearly as many military families agree."

Current deployment, now estimated at up to 160,000 as many as 8,000 from my state of Illinois.

The human toll:
· nearly 3,988 killed, including 143 from Illinois.
· wounded: 29,393 U.S. soldiers, 1077 from Illinois
· estimates of dead Iraqis range to 223,000.
· an estimated one million Iraqis wounded

The war cost: so far this fiscal year is $608 billion. The total war tab is $2.8 trillion.

QUITE A FUCKING WASTE... DON'T YOU THINK?

FUCK. Today sucks so far, Obama lost in TX, OH AND RI. I'm so damn disappointed. What pisses me off is that Clinton is trying to win by running a negative campaign, dividing the party, trying to steal the election with super-delates... I can go on but it'll just mess up my whole day.



Oh well, we still lead in the delagate count... SO IT AIN'T OVER... gotta have HOPE.



Time to regroup dust ourselves off and move on to the next few primaries. It's up to you folks in the remaining states to bring it home for Barack. Stay positive.

QUICK NOTE: No matter who you support, you have to admit it's pretty cool that a minority and a woman are the front runners of our party and one or the may be the next POTUS. About time... don't ya think.

Well, Barack loves baseball... and the country loves him.

I hope he wins... GO MAN GO.

Well, it's cold, cloudy and pretty much a miserable day here in Chicago.

BUT I DON'T CARE
