I was reading today about black people who did phenomenal things back in the day when the nation thought them incapable of performing any accomplishments requiring strength of character and endurance.
I read again about Matthew Henson and his being the first to go the the North Pole along with Robert Peary. I reread Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglas, Ella Craft and many others.
After watching the news talk show ie McLaughlin Hour and Cspan with Republicans crowing about Scott Walker, I needed encourage myself by reading about others overcoming in times of crisis.
I started thinking about the lackluster attitudes of Democrats in Congress and the worthlessless of the news media and I realized that something has to be done to get the Democrats really involved.
Just some are working their butts off ie Wisconsin, Move On.org and Daily Kos. There are some who stay on course and keep pressing forward no matter what.
I realized that we need something to stir up the Spirit of the 60's again. Back in the day the way black folks overcame situations was to sing and pray through it. They sang works songs in fields and gospel songs at home and in the fields as well.
I know it would be downright difficult to get people to have prayer groups right now but getting a NEW song to sing is do-able.
Black folks wrote the Black National Athem and sang rewritten gospel songs and almost anything that could get the spirit moving withing themselves. The President needs a NEW CAMPAIGN SPIRIT. He needs a new song and the song I pick is I NEED YOU TO SURVIVE BY HEZIKIAH WALKER. The words of this song fit the Presidents situation at this time all the way around. The words are dynamic and loving at the same time.
Mr. Walker wrote this as a spiritual but it is a love song. It was written, I believe as a love song to God but it fits the time right now. I would that you would go to YouTube and listen to that song. It is so lifting and President Obama's campaign surely needs lifting.
I sent an email to Move.Org and asked them to stop sending me scary emails saying that he was losing. I told them they needed to make a campaign ad with MANY YOUNG PEOPLE ARM AND ARM SINGING THAT THE "I NEED YOU TO SURVIVE". I told them that they needed to stop the depressing rhetoric about losing and start encouraging envolvement by the young people.
I told them that I was giving something EVERY month to the President campaign so they didnt have to worry about that part but they needed to ask EVERY DEMOCRAT to do something every month. I am a senior so my donations are going to be small but they will be consistent. I have been keeping my word about doing my alms consistly for about 25 years now and I dont intend to stop but I wanted to hear encouraging words not LOSING WORDS.
I would that those of you young people who are involved and work for the President make multiple campaign ads YOURSELF. I dont know how to do this put many of you have the capability. YOU SHOULD ASK US TO HELP YOU BY DONATING.
We need to saturate the web with words of encouragement to Democrats. Words of encouragement with LOVE throught THIS SONG. I know that you will have to get permission from the writer to use it but I DO BELIEVE THAT HEZIKIAH WALKER WILL NOT SAY NO IF YOU TELL HIM IT IS FOR CAMPAIGN PURPOSES FOR THE PRESIDENT.
I believe many people would like to help but like me are either too old, to physically stove up or just are not computer savvy.
Please think about what I have said. LISTEN TO THE SONG YOURSELF ON YOUTUBE AND SEE IF YOU DONT FEEL AS I DO.
It is a love song that will save the day for the President. I feel this strongly.
