Peace One Day - A Short Video Explaining Peace One Day.

Jeremy Gilley is an actor turned film maker, who in the late 1990's became preoccupied with questions about the fundamental nature of humanity and the issue of peace. He decided to explore these through the medium of film, and specifically, to create a documentary following his campaign to establish a day of ceasefire and non-violence.

In 1999, Jeremy founded Peace One Day, a non-profit organization, and in 2001 Peace One Day's efforts were rewarded when the United Nations unanimously adopted the first-ever day of global ceasefire and non-violence on 21 September annually - Peace Day.

In 2007 according to the UN, over 100 million people were active on Peace Day, in 192 countries. There were life-saving initiatives in 14 countries, and over 80 activities in Afghanistan alone where 1.4 million children were vaccinated against polio.

The mainstream media repeats McCain's claims that Obama has flip-flopped on Iraq.

One wonders why both the MSM and McCain continually act as if there are no records of what people say and do....or are they that confident that most people will not bother to check?

Here's is The Pastor's "chicken come home to roost" statement in context..which shows he was quoting, not Maclom X, but a White Ambassador!!

Jeremiah A. Wright. FOX lied! Here's the whole context! Available on ITunes!

I am sending this to Most of my friends and all of my "partners" in minstry, so I thought that I should post this here as well.

And while I believe with all my heart that the Iraq war was not just a mistake but a sin, , I hope that any of you who do support the war will allow that "we" can still be friends...we should be able to "agree to disagree".

If you, however, you agree with me, I hope you will "take action".

Dear friend,

Next week will mark five years since the United States invaded Iraq. We all lament the suffering and violence that continue after these five heartbreaking years, and we all share in responsibility for a war that has been waged in our names and with our tax dollars.

That's why I've added my name to a public statement repenting for the Iraq war, which Jim Wallis and other Christian leaders will be releasing next week - with the signatures of thousands of Christians of all theological and political stripes.

Support for U.S. wars and foreign policy is still the area where Christians are most "conformed to this world" (Romans 12:2). We must commit to put our love for Christ ahead of obedience to a misguided government, and to ask our brothers and sisters to join us in working for peace.

We lament the suffering and violence in Iraq. ...
We lament the effects of this war on our country. ...
We repent of our failure to fully live the teaching of Jesus to be peacemakers. ...
We believe repentance means more than just being sorry. ...
We dedicate ourselves to the biblical vision of a world in which nations do not attempt to resolve international problems by waging war on other nations. ...

Will you join me in signing the statement?

People often say with pride, “I’m not interested in politics.” They might as well say, “I’m not interested in my standard of living, my health, my job, my rights, my freedoms, my future, or any future.”
    — Martha Gellhorn, writer/journalist   (1908-1998)

Live simply. Love generously.
Care deeply. Speak kindly.
Leave the rest to God.

Watch Hannity continually interrupt his liberal guest. But when always polite Allen Colmes is replaced by a guest host nearly as aggressive as Hannity Ann Coulter quits giggling at the liberal bashing, get's bent out of shape, and walks off the set!

No, really, I'm not crying again, I've just got something in my eye........

Song from Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am Inspired by Obama Speech

Celebrity-filled music videos have been used to support many social movements, from famine relief for Africa, to support for American farmers, to opposition to apartheid in South Africa.

The Black Eyed Peas' frontman, songwriter and producer known as will.i.am, along with director and filmmaker Jesse Dylan, son of another socially active musician, Bob Dylan, released a new song Friday that attempts to do just that.

The music video "Yes We Can" premiered on ABCNewsNow's "What's the Buzz" on Friday. It was inspired, will.i.am told ABC's Alisha Davis, by Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign and in particular by the speech he has gave after the New Hampshire primary.

"It made me reflect on the freedoms I have, going to school where I went to school, and the people that came before Obama like Martin Luther King, presidents like Abraham Lincoln that paved the way for me to be sitting here on ABCNews and
making a song from Obama's speech," will.i.am said.

"The speech was inspiring about making change in America and I believe what it says and I hope everybody votes," Dylan said.

Just yesterday, Think Progress reported-

Controversial private security firm Blackwater Worldwide "has ramped up its lobbying representation on Capitol Hill" by hiring the law firm Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice to "lobby the government on contracting and other issues."

Then this comes out today-

Suddenly, on that May day in 2005, the copter dropped CS gas, a riot-control substance the American military in Iraq can use only under the strictest conditions and with the approval of top military commanders. An armored vehicle on the ground also released the gas, temporarily blinding drivers, passers-by and at least 10 American soldiers operating the checkpoint.

"This was decidedly uncool and very, very dangerous," Capt. Kincy Clark of the Army, the senior officer at the scene, wrote later that day. "It's not a good thing to cause soldiers who are standing guard against car bombs, snipers and suicide bombers to cover their faces, choke, cough and otherwise degrade our awareness."

They're going to need all the good p.r. they can get.
