It was good to be back in the village of my birth. The first thing I noticed was that the street venders were out in front which means the drums are working. The next thing I noticed was that the New Black Panthers were holding down security in force. It is good to see young people once again interested in defending the elders and their community.<BR/><BR/>The Church was packed and the media was in the house lights and camera’s everywhere. The Church holds a thousand people up and down and it was full. The meeting was mostly orderly and respectful and both sides made clear points. I learned a lot but most important to me, I did not hear anything that would prevent my Top Three Issues from being implemented. At least one speaker advocated universal “health” Care and the crowd was with her. I heard no one speak against Universal Sick Care (USC).<BR/><BR/>It is late, so I will provide you with more details as I respond to your comments later in the day, time permitting. I was disappointed that I did not see a ten point plan come out of the debate. However, as I think of it that would not be practical, after all it was a debate, not a planning session. The take home message for me was, OK Obama is in, great, now it is, as it always has been, up to us to turn this turn of events into concrete benefits for our communities. My focus is USC what is yours?Aunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09415542013316974067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5947853.post-86394497764994534822008-12-14T22:47:00.000-05:002008-12-14T22:47:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.angelinjoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07855854811826839292noreply@blogger.com
