Together We Thrive

For too long Americans have been set one against the other, it is a side affect of a free market society. How can profits be maximized, how can I get the work done for the lowest possible costs. This continually sets one group against the other, especially in the blue collar sectors of America. It has become a part of the American Business model, whether it was indentured servants, slaves picking cotton, sharecroppers, the industrious people that built the railroads or todays migrant workers. As long as we remain divided, fighting for the scraps that America has to offer it will be one group against the other.

What I see in Obama is a chance for a revolution. A chance for every group to participate and be heard; A chance to live the American dream that has been denied to so many. Together we can and will change the world and return America to the shining beacon of Hope and Prosperity that we were and that we can be again. Only when we work together do we accomplish feats that rival any ever accomplished in the history of mankind. Diversity is our strength, that is what this campaign brings us a promise of. For many this is a scary prospect and thought, getting to know someone different from myself. We all want the same basic things for example a safe place to live, health and a quality education for our kids.

In a previous career, I was the global leader of Diversity for a global fortune 500 corporation, I have studied the affects of diverse groups working together and the results can not be denied. Together we Thrive!!!!!!!!!!!

At this time, they are unable to provide information on where to get a shirt commemorating "Together We Thrive: Tucson and America," but they will provide that information soon.

The UA Office of Student Affairs is handling requests for T-shirts - those interested can call them and leave contact information. The office will send out information on how to obtain a shirt at a later date.

Call the UA Office of Student Affairs at: 520-621-3772

To help the victims, of course. And the people who were shot might get something too.

Well, I don't think I need one, besides I am still trying to decipher "honest" Obe's "expand our moral imaginations". You have always presented yourself as a rather sensible fellow. Do you have a clue as to what the hell that means?

Someday I'll let lose on Barack Obama's phrases but not today. I will say this. Most everything he says has more than one meaning. Most people struggle with the language just to say what they want to say in an acceptable way. Not Obama. He has the ability to say multiple things. "Expand our moral imaginations" means exactly what it seems to mean. It also means orther things to those who would take it in different ways. It also defines those who disagree with Obama as those who have limited moral imaginations.

His supporters simply don't have his ability and when they try to mimic him, as this OFA guy did above, they fail.

It's "let loose."

You might lose your loose change.

Creating a brand image for a mass shooting and the resulting memorial service.

Rather classy, eh?

I have a question....

In the spirit of unity and thriving, will all the prog cities and counties that declared economic war on Arizona over SB1070 repeal their boycotts now?

Reminder of the local governments that declared boycotts against Arizona:

• Amherst (Mass.)

• Austin City Council • Berkeley, Calif. • Bloomington, Ind.

• Boston. • Burlington, Vt.

• Columbus, Ohio.

• Cook County, Ill.

• El Paso (city and county).

• Gallup, N.M.

• Hartford, Conn.

• Los Angeles (city and county).

• Oakland.

• Richmond, Calif.

• Sacramento

• San Pablo, Calif.

• St. Paul, Minn.

• Santa Monica, Calif.

• San Francisco (non-binding resolution).

• Seattle.

• West Hollywood, Calif. • The Oxnard City (Calif.) City Council on July 20 decided not to take a stand against Arizona’s new immigration law, despite pleas from dozens of residents urging council members to at least condemn the law. The mayor and two council members said they will instead consider a symbolic resolution.

Well Charlie, you left out the Autonomous State of Chiapas - even the little tienas here have signs that say we will not sell to Gringos from Arizona. I know a fellow that drilled all the way up to New Mexico before the your assassin shot up Tucson just to get his jeep retitled. He couldn't keep tires on his vehicle - your Palinist rhetoric has brought you idiots sour fruit indeed. Thou has reaped the whirlwind dude. Keep it up friend and you most likely will lose your firearms; then the bastards will be in total control of your pitiful, little, worthless lives. You stupido fuckers are shooting the wrong people - you should be going after creeps like Sarah and that "bible thumping" Huckaberry. Jesus, Joseph and Mary - weeping Jesus on the cross!
